See lyrics below


Wealthy featuring Lei-an
N. Newman

Intro:
They say "everything happens for a reason"
Whatever the reason it's difficult breathing

Chorus:
They say life's hard but we can't stop
Some are rock bottom, some are at the top
Many keep going, some have given up
Many lacking love, some have got enough
They say life's hard but we can't stop
Some are rock bottom, some are at the top
They say "everything happens for a reason"
But whatever the reason it's difficult breathing
We gotta have something special we can believe in


Verse One:
They say, "its cruel world ¬¬and a stressed life"
All we trying to do is have the best life
But what it feels like and what it seems like
It aint easy just to get our self esteem right
We aint any less entitled to our dreams right?
At the end of the tunnel we wanna see light
But at times we forget the wealth we got
In the people that love us and the health we got
I know that cash is low and the bills flood
So the phone rings and it feels fucked
They want your money yo, and it's a daily battle
But they can't get orange juice from your only apple
To have very little can be liberating
Cos now there's purpose to the things that we anticipating
Something to chase, something to seek
And when you find that it's something to keep
Close to your heart, never let it go
Can you lose it quick? Well you never know
And when you're picking friends, pick the right ones
Cos our loved ones can turn into don't like ones
Keep your heads up, where there's a new day
There's a new way, what would you say
And do if you came to know your final hour was only a moment away?
Drop to your knees and pray God help me
So realize you're so wealthy

Chorus:







Verse Two:
Yo it's damn near impossible to do everything
But the worst thing is not to do anything
Cos it leaves you no place with no guarantees
It's ok to have doubts, we human beings
And when people do us bad don't commiserate
Just celebrate that we aint in that state
So take ya time and use your mind
Be yourself then it's easy for you just to shine
You win some and you lose some
We get chances in life at least use one
We try work people out who aint see through
And worry eighty percent more than we need to
Don't cling to your comfort zone
And make childhood excuses when you're grown
I don't think anyone has it easy
But I do my best people might need me
Like they might need you when things fall part
To give em' wise words from a kind heart
And that everything is gonna be ok smile
Shooting sun rays like the daytime
So keep ya heads up where there's a new day
There's a new way, what would you say
And do if you came to know your final hour was only a moment away?
Drop to your knees and pray God help me
So realize you're so wealthy


Chorus: X2
