Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama said, go left
Boss man said, go right
My sister called this morning
Said, "You better do what's right"
I'm tied up in the middle
Like a nail in old pine
Everybody got a hand on me
But none on this line
[Pre-Chorus]
They point, they pull
They push and shove
I hear their mouths
But I don't hear my road
[Chorus]
My damn life, my damn life
Who gon' walk it for me?
My damn life, my damn life
Where my path? (where my path?)
Hidden from my eyes
Hidden from my eyes
I'm still standing here
With my own two hands
[Verse 2]
Needles in my apron
Dust on my shoes
Every door I open
Got somebody's rules
One says "stay put"
One says "get gone"
I'm a house with all the windows
But the door locked on
[Pre-Chorus]
They point, they pull
They call my name
But I was born with a heartbeat
Not a borrowed chain
[Chorus]
My damn life, my damn life
Who gon' walk it for me?
My damn life, my damn life
Where my path? (where my path?)
Hidden from my eyes
Hidden from my eyes
I'm still standing here
With my own two hands
[Bridge]
I got scars like riverbanks
And I know my worth
If I bend for everybody
I disappear to dirt
So let them talk
Let them stare
I'm taking one small step
Even if nobody's there
[Chorus]
My damn life, my damn life
Who gon' walk it for me?
My damn life, my damn life
Where my path? (where my path?)
Hidden from my eyes
Hidden from my eyes
I'm still standing here
With my own two hands
[Outro]
Hidden, hidden
But it ain't gone
Hidden, hidden
I'm finding my own way home
