I put my hands together in supplication —just this once— let me get what I wanted or what I thought I needed
If I could pray or if heaven could lend its ear to my weak voice —I's say one thing— I am not asking for much just maybe leftovers
I've spent most my life not being given love people said I deserve —so please— I am not asking for much but leftover love
I've spent too much time looking at people who prosper —at the people who had what I wanted I think to myself— if they have it perhaps, I can too —but I've been staring at the pedestal long enough to utter a prayer under my breath —please— I am not asking for much but leftover fulfillment of the dreams I had
So I put my hands together in supplication —just this once— let me get what I never had for so long —please— I am not asking for much but for leftover time —leftover rhyme— leftover life
