Lyrics The Man Under The Bridge - Wrekonize

The Man Under The Bridge

There is a man under the bridge a couple blocks from where I live
Filthy pair of kicks and you can see all of his ribs
I feel the urge to serve today but I can’t really give
Cuz I just left the crib inside I got a couple kids
But I stopped the car to sit chat about the things he has
He said I ain’t got nothing but the clothes that’s on my back
He said I feel more free than I think I ever have
I’m freer than that car you drive or what you pay in tax
I said damn I often think that truly I’m the man
Cuz I’ve collected so much treasure I can’t hold it in my hands
It’s been supply and demand but at times I do feel low down
Awakened by the fact I’m buried by the things I own now
They say you do not own possessions
I guess that be true
Cuz if you slip and lose your grip
They end up owning you
I don’t know how to feel so I just stare into the clues
And wonder deep inside exactly what you gonna do
If I give you this money will you save it up for food
Or blow it all on booze I wouldn’t judge you if you do
This life is hard enough to go it sober that is true
So I enjoy a sip or two it helps to get me through
But if I give you this money would you aim for something big
Turn it all around and give the world a couple gifts
Make the world a better place to live and exist
I’m not sure I’ll truly ever get the gist of the man under the bridge
The man under the bridge
It hurts to see you living like this
Mr. Man Under the bridge
Bridge down the street bridge across the world
We so used to seeing others that we no longer bother to think now
My father gave the lady money to eat now
Said felt bad for the kid
Who hasn’t even get a fair shot at this life oh what a bitch
Paying for the sins of his momma that ain’t legit
On the streets so long he don’t know anything but this
And he’s still there happy to exist
If I give you this money will you save it up for food
Or blow it all on booze I wouldn’t judge you if you do
This life is hard enough to go it sober yeah that’s true
So I enjoy a sip or two it helps to get me through
But if I give you this money would you aim for something big
Turn it all around and give the world a couple gifts
Make the world a better place to live and exist
I’m not sure I’ll truly ever know the risk of the man under the bridge
The man under the bridge
It hurts to see you living like this
Mr. Man Under the bridge
