Something in the Way

Underneath the bridge
Tarp has sprung a leak, and the
Animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets, and I'm
Living off of grass, and the
Drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish, cuz they
Don't have any feelings

Somethin' in the way, ooh
Somethin' in the way, yeah
Ooh
Somethin' in the way, ooh
Somethin' in the way, yeah
Ooh

Drinkin' water from a gas station faucet
Cuts on your wrists and no signs of stoppin'
No place to shower, no place to call home
Family kicked you out and now you're off on your own
Livin' in a tent on the side of the highway
Your life would be better, if I could have it my way
Right by my side playin' shows and spittin' bars
'Stead of runnin' downtown tryna steal cars
Ya been back and forth from the muthafuckin' psych ward
Four times in one month, ya caught in a time warp
I'm hearin' your stories, callin' out to my Lord
Don't know if he's listened, but I'm sendin' my support
Twenty-five bucks and that's just a start
Call me if ya need me, give ya all I got
Shirt off of my back to get ya back on track
Let's move on together and one day we'll look back
On all we created and all we've become
Celebrating all our best days with our day ones
Seein' ya like this, yeah ya got me scared
I swear I'm not the only muthafucka that cares
I always knew you had so much to give
But now you're stuck beggin' for a place to live
Life's been cruel, you don't deserve this yeah
You don't deserve this

Somethin' in the way, ooh
Somethin' in the way, yeah
Ooh
Somethin' in the way, ooh
Somethin' in the way, yeah
Ooh
Somethin' in the way, ooh
Somethin' in the way, yeah
Ooh

I know what it is to be in need
And I know what it is to have plenty
I have learned the secret of being content
In any and every situation
Whether well fed or hungry
Whether living in plenty or in want
I can do all this through Him who gives me strength
Yet it was good of you
To share in my troubles
