Lyrics

Ayy, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Yeah
Late nights, no sleep (Ayy)
They don't see the pressure on me (Ooh, oh)
(K.P.L again)
Yeah, I'm the breadwinner, weight on my chest
Everyone eating, but I get no rest
Mama keep crying, bills on the desk
Smile on my face, but I'm feeling pressed
I'm the breadwinner, pain in my soul
Young, but the pressure making me old
I'm chasing a dream while carrying hope
If I fall down, then we all lose control
Twenty-two with the world on my back
No father figure, had to learn how to act
Friends chasing parties, I'm chasing the racks
'Cause mama need food and the rent due fast
Crying in silence, nobody knows
Smiling outside, but inside I'm cold
They think I'm strong, but my heart feeling broke
Carrying pain that I never show
Late night prayers on my bedroom floor
Asking God, "What all this suffering for?"
I give them my last, they always want more
I'm losing myself while fighting this war
Sometimes I wish I could run away
But if I fall, then my family breaks
So I keep grinding through all the pain
Even when my heart can't take the weight
I'm the breadwinner, weight on my chest
Everyone eating, but I get no rest
Mama keep crying, bills on the desk
Smile on my face, but I'm feeling pressed
I'm the breadwinner, pain in my soul
Young, but the pressure making me old
Chasing a dream while carrying hope
If I fall down, then we all lose control
Lockdown nights with an empty fridge
Dreams so close, but the road so big
Phone full of problems I cannot fix
Everyone calling like I'm getting rich
Little bro with a heart full of scars
Talking to God while I stare at the stars
I know one day I'ma make it this far
Turn all this pain into platinum bars
They never saw every tear that I cried
Every dark night when I wanted to hide
But if I quit, then my people won't survive
So I sacrifice just to keep 'em alive
Yeah
They call me the breadwinner
But nobody asks if I'm okay
(K.P.L, you did it, and again)
