Yella |
What happened to this small forgotten town |
Where words use to carry the weight |
And silence wasn’t drowned |
Everybody left for a better life downtown |
And the baseball rolls slowly off the pitcher’s mound |
As I stood in the batter’s box once they struck me out |
I showed a sign a weakness and I swung my bat |
And the fire that once burned yella turned to ash |
Then Sir Lawrence of Philadelphia gave me some facts |
And they lifted the weight of Olympus off my back |
Sometimes when you lose my friend you win |
Why does it end the good times when the good times just begin |
Fortunes have nowhere left to spend |
Everybody’s differences have a common ground |
We let ourselves get in the way of our leaps and bounds |
And you’ve shown a sign of weakness when you lack |
And the fire that once burned yella turned to ash |
And the fortress you built around you one day will crash |
And will lift the weight of Olympus right off your back |
