Lyrics of The Hands That Feed You by Ocartiz James
Up in the mornin′ with the sound of crows that keep me awake
A two-and-froin' with the hounds and grain is calling to make
A storm is comin′ but this land ain't ours to forsake
I made a promise but the words are like the first thing you take
It's heavy lifting and my hands are sore but no time for breaks
My knees don′t work the same but faith ain′t so easy to shake
So what you gonna' take
When I ain′t got nothin' left?
So what you gonna′ take
When I ain't got nothin′ left to give
You're biting the hands that feed you
You're biting the hands that feed
The day is long and night is short like a cheap glass of wine
I make my way back like the cattle in the field takin′ time
I missed the sunset ′cos my eyes were planted still in the ground
My clothes are worn and kind of too big for this piece of mind
It's heavy lifting and my hands are sore and starting to break
My knees don′t work the same but my faith ain't so easy to shake
So what you gonna′ do, when I ain't got nothing′ left?
What you gonna' take, when I ain't got nothin′ left to give?
You′re biting the hands that feed you
You're biting the hands that feed
