Rich Man - Brick + Mortar

I could be a rich man

Living on the West coast

But that ain’t me

Seventeen to twenty-three

I was stealing everything

Taking anything I need

And then, the truth, it brings me

Down

Down on my knees

I’m begging you, please

This life ain’t for me

In time, the truth, it brings me down

It brings me down

Living on the East coast

Fighting for my fill of the stars

Not forgetting who I was

This is why I hate this

Dumber than I thought I was

Time keep bringing me down

Wishing I could turn it around

And then, the truth, it brings me

Down

Down on my knees

I’m begging you, please

This life ain’t for me

In time, the truth, it brings me down

It brings me down

I’ll tell you I never thought I could be a goddamn thing

But now I feel so real

Down

Down on my knees

I’m begging you, begging, I’m begging, please

This life ain’t for me

And it brings me down

'Cause I learned to steal

When you learned to breathe

'Cause, life, it ain’t free

And it brings me down

Down

The future is real

So choose who to be

'Cause, life, it ain’t free

In time, the truth will bring you down

Down on your knees

You’re begging them, please

This life ain’t for me

In time, the truth, it brings you down

It brings you down

Oh, it can try

I’ll tell you:

You never knew you could be everything

So, now, please feel more real
