sam franjione – wasteland lyrics

(hook) joe vercellino
i could give it up and chase the sun today
put my hands in dirt, hide my face in shade
don’t let me let myself go to waste
don’t let me let myself go to waste
i could give it up and chase the sun today
put my hands in dirt, hide my face in shade
don’t let me let myself go to waste
don’t let me let myself go to waste

(verse 1)
get me out get me out, barbell
lift me out lift me out, bars tell whatever i tell them
before they fell down in the prison in the clouds let me out
falling far, neverland, sp-ce jam
but the only stars are dark in a wasteland
wake up in a casket or a basket
plastic past and everything that i did was a waste man
how tragic never lasting
forever trashing, you can put that in a waste can
burn it up ashes to ashes, what you cash in?
turn it up in the bas-m-nt
see what i’m facing?
got to bring it back, bring it back, bring it back to the basics
because if this is a race man?
i’m worried because i’ve only got me one pair of asics
aces-4 never losing, invested in the fruit
but not forbidden, but i’m for bidding call it apple
bitten by a jackal so i’m on and i’m out
love first now instead of just sitting in the chapel
rap will change when shackles rain down
where’s my umbrella?
but rappers reign because shackles chain down now
so it’s now or never
been a minute, but in a minute all is gained and all is lost
can’t bury the treasure i’ve been given
leave it hidden living like i do not know that cost
because i know that cost and i know that loss
when my soul was lost so i sold that loss
living now how i do all because the one who paid all
all because i could never hold that cross
don’t waste it!

(hook)
don’t let me let myself go to waste
i could give it up and chase the sun today
put my hands in dirt, hide my face in shade
don’t let me let myself go to waste
don’t let me let myself go to waste
don’t let me let myself go to waste
i could give it up and chase the sun today
put my hands in dirt, hide my face in shade
don’t let me let myself go to waste
don’t let me let myself go to waste

(verse 2)
i ain’t c-cky and i ain’t no copy
but you can’t lock me up, knock me down or stop me
while some of ya’ll think that i can shine
some of ya’ll think i’m wasting time in a hobby
but have you ever made something so special
worked so hard on it, gave it your all
and then just locked it up for yourself on a shelf?
well for me i would hope not i would be appalled
if i did the same with this gift, with this talent
so i hope you listen let it take you over in the late night, like fallon
because i believe this is too important to quit on my dreams
and it sure is foreign for me to do that because this can change lives
if i let it, i’m ready, forget it i’m pouring
out everything in this one
i know my music has been heard across the world, how’s that for motivation?
tough for me that it’s been like a year since i had a show
so i can’t keep ya’ll waiting
but wait up, ain’t even about the music
more so how it’s used, used for that life change
so i’ll do whatever it takes
because i’ve been in that spot thinking i needed my life changed
so if i’ve got you thinking now, thinking how?
thinking maybe i might change?
take it from someone who’s made poor decisions in living that wrong
that this is that right change
because now i’m living forgiven, i hope this is hitting and getting you waiting for more
think i’m kidding? i’m spitting for you if you’re listening
then you are the person i’m making this for

(verse 3)
the recipe for ident-ty lacking, packed in for that ko
desperately backing the flesh in me dead to me
wake up oj like mayo
day old episode, destiny in jeopardy
minute to win it, it’s a game show
cuz that price was right take a look in the book of my life
and read this rainbow
because he gave me life that i didn’t have
showed me his love, showed me how to distribute
his grace, and he showed me what he did too
every day he shows me what he’s been through
shows been what i’ve been through
over time yeah he’s showed me my issues
but i know he is faithful i am grateful he’s able which enables me to continue
because i’ve been face down
sometimes face down has been phased out
because worship ain’t comfortable, well i’m vulnerable
let me know how that plays out
but i’ve been in phases where i just need to get
picked up by reach and i’ll reach them
or where i need to change who i am to get fans
but then i’m afraid that i’ll lead and not keep them
the world and the money, the milk and the honey
i’m dug in, dear journal no funny so who can i trust?
see it’s there in the fear of it all keep me running
see i’m seeing fear in a handful of dust
i’m much more afraid of creating something that won’t matter
it’s crucial, than trying to please every one of ya’ll
and get every one of ya’lls approval
nah now come on the hook can wait
because the bait is alive but the song is just a step
take a look around you and imagine that there is not anything left
everything, everyone, every king, every son
all else except you has been laid unto rest
now flipping the script you ain’t existing at all
because you have fallen unto your death
let me remind you, realities a formality
that’s been grabbing me at my best
reminding me that tomorrow ain’t promised
so why are we worried, and why are we stressed?
we ought to be stressing the love, stressing the life
instead of just living depressed
taking every gift we have been given to shine
always love first while we are still breathing our breath
