Priorities Lyrics - Artist : Damar Jackson
Yeah, uh

I never did wanna end up with somebody
Who loved her career more than she loved me
No disrespect to the women killing it at work
So many high achievers, but what's it all worth?
You grind from the time you wake up till you sleep
Got multiple degrees but you still lonely
She wanna be Barack and want me to be Michelle
A woman told me that, I said "Oh well"
I know we ain't finna work miss, you look good in that skirt miss
But not good enough for me to divorce my purpose
You tryna be the Jordan of your team, so am I
But Jordan with no Pippen turns into AI
That's a star with a lot of awards but no ring
Sound like you need a queen so that you could be the king
You'd rather sacrifice your man than your goals
When we love our jobs, it can be a lonely road

This life ain't for you to live on your own
You fight it 'cause you don't wanna be alone
Girl you gotta believe in me, girl you gotta let me lead
I wanna see you grow
Girl we could start a family, but look at your priorities
You can't do this on your own

I got with you and I got put on the back burner
I tried to lead the revolt, I felt like Nat Turner
Arguments when we had spoke, you went out and took a smoke
Said you can't do this no more, I said "What you tripping for?"
Said you on your grind to get the job of a lifetime
And I need to wait in line 'cause you ain't got no free time
You slaving and building other people's empire baby
I told you we should build our own and you called me crazy
I got that mission vision, pay attention
When it's not in sync and out of alignment, it's time to end it
Can't pretend it's right just 'cause we look like a power couple
I'd rather be with somebody who don't place a job above you
Somebody that's down to love you and be your best friend
And as a man, if I ain't the leader then this gotta end
Uh, I'm not upset I'm just embracing all this
Two workaholics ain't gon' work at all, miss

This life ain't for you to live on your own
You fight it 'cause you don't wanna be alone
Girl you gotta believe in me, girl you gotta let me lead
I wanna see you grow
Girl we could start a family, but look at your priorities
You can't do this on your own

This life ain't for you to live on your own
You fight it 'cause you don't wanna be alone
Girl you gotta believe in me, girl you gotta let me lead
I wanna see you grow
Girl we could start a family, but look at your priorities
You can't do this on your own
