Brother Ali More Than This
Verse 1:
I know there's got to be more than this
In these boxy apartments and offices
Scrambling to pay the bills and the mortgages
Doesn't seem to be as deep as the story gets
Pose and postin' up all of our performances
Turn our loved ones into an audience
For our political cause and accomplishments
Whatever make em' like, share, and applaud for us
That's all we trust
But there's more than this
Little one inch box that were forced to fit to get a portrait
It's probably a lot more
But I'm lazy sometimes, I don't want to explore
If I'm feeling out of sorts I shop some more
Sometimes I forgot what I bought before it even arrives at my door
They don't knock no more
I mean my friends, it just me and this cardboard, I can't see my garage floor
Hook:
There's got to be more than this
Answering the call from inside my soul
This can't be all there is
Right now this is all I know
There's gotta be more than this
Answering the call from inside my soul
There's gotta be more than this
There's gotta be more than this
Verse 2:
Prettiest people do the ugliest things
Some type of jewel shit you spit before becoming a king
Lot of time the poor dream of getting rich
Imaging the joy of expensive shit
But it's a trip
Cause before we had togetherness
Then we were just forced to make the best of it
But when we get more we forget all this
And the hearts grow sore with the emptiness
We used to think we never had enough
Took a trip and got bitten by the travel bug
Dip our toes in the ocean soke the magic up
Til we finally got bored and strayed away from the places that they make for tourists to the villages
It's like welcome to the world and how real it is
People givin' from their spirit, what the feelin' is
I see myself and remember just what livin' is
What a priv it is
Hook:
There's got to be more than this
Answering the call from inside my soul
This can't be all there is
Right now this is all I know
There's gotta be more than this
Answering the call from inside my soul
There's gotta be more than this
There's gotta be more than this
