The Burden Robe

[Verse 1: K-Rino] There was a man who woke up one day with his heart absent of love So he went to search for the answer of why that really was All attempts to learn on his own would eventually fail him Asked his mother and his father but neither one would ever tell him He was not young, he was not old, he had been here for a while And trouble had built up inside of him since he was a child He met a guy who then told him, even though he didn't know him And informed him of an old man with the understanding to show him His inner demons was starting to eat right through him and defeat him So he quickly made preparations to locate him and meet him He was already questioning whether or not he would believe him So he just thought to himself I guess I'll find out when I see him [Hook x2: K-Rino] So much trouble on my shoulders now, every day a new weight I should've been a better man but now I think is too late I have to pull my mind back from the darkness to a true place of light, before this burden overtakes me [Verse 2: K-Rino] He showed up a the man's home, hoping he wasn't a faker He walked up to the door and checked the address on the paper He was kind of apprehensive because they told him to come alone And as he lifted his hands to knock the door just opened up on its own And the old man appeared and said, "How may I assist you?" He said I heard that you can lift my burdens. He said, "It's true" He called him closer grabbed him by the shoulder, gripped it tight And in his mind he now could vision every aspect of his life Then he stepped into the light, the garment he wore was exposed It was a robe that looked as though it was five centuries old He said, "If you put this on then your children will fall below you" He said 'I don't have any children' He said, 'Yes you do I'll show you' [Hook: x2] [Verse 3: K-Rino] The old man said this robe I'm wearing, is no regular robe It exposes past emotions and reasons never been told When you were five years old you were Parsimonious indeed And that Selfish mind married Lust and gave birth to Greed Then Greed grew up to gain much, but was a lonely one Till he met Hate who gave birth to Pain their only son And Pain consummated with Envy from night time till the morn And two more children Disloyalty and then Murder were born And you fathered them all and let each of these spirits drown you And Love, Trust and Compassion were not allowed to be around you So now you stand before me crying imploring for help Asking me to lift the sadness you inflicted on yourself Then the old man took the robe off and his heart began to soften The stress erased from his face and his grey began to darken Then he placed it on the man's back and the man began to lose it It was uncomfortable, heavy and impossible to remove it The old man said I wore this for fifty years, it wasn't easy But you coming to see me took it off my back and freed me So to wipe out the regret and hurt you feel there's only one way You'll have to wear this robe till someone like you finds you one day [Outro: K-Rino] There's a lesson in this, for all of us The things we do stay with us for years Till we cleanse them from our internal self In other words get them demons out your heart man
