What You Hear

I was down on my luck, that Patron states misery Down on my luck and I almost let it get to me Made it out the mud where stones, twigs and ditches be But I'm a Rollin' Stone like mama and Keith Richards see Alcoholic son, I love'em they gave gifts to me Father passed away, I remember his face vividly Only fear God in the sky, that's where the limits be Shout out Skye, I love you, you're still a kid to me The sky is where I pray so I pray to my little sister see Dad's in the sky and I don't know how to cope with it Saw him in the hospital leavin' when he was frozen stiff They tell me stop your crying, be manly, you gotta hold it in Lookin' at directions, I never knew where to go with it My father raised me real that's why I'm writin' the coldest shit Jameson whiskey the flask, I'm bout to hold the fifth Yeah, yeah, I'm bout to hold the fifth Why don't you tell me bout your fears Tell me bout the things that make you shed a couple tears Tell me why we're still here Through the pain and the struggle, tryin' not to disappear Come and crack a couple beers, you could tell me what you hear Why don't you tell me bout your fears Tell me bout the things that make you shed a couple tears Tell me why we're still here Through the pain and the struggle, tryin' not to disappear Come and crack a couple beers, you could tell me what you hear I heard you talkin' bout that pain so I know you can relate If I told you bout my life? Man, it'd scare you something straight Don't know why I don't sedate all this pain that I done ate But time is of the essence, I don't really like to wait I'd rather throw on a beat, unleash the demons deep in me Wonder why everyone close always keeps on leavin' me Maybe it's something I can't see, maybe you can show me Am I truly hard to love or do I keep it too G They say honesty is key, now it's just priority Cause my conscience too loud, it always takes a hold of me I lost the only woman close whose love was unconditional So if I grow to love you, just know it isn't typical I've dealt with so much loss but somehow it still hurts It's ironic if I'm honest, this heart of mine is a curse Cause I know the next loss is gonna be even worse And I don't want another name written down in a verse, no Why don't you tell me bout your fears Tell me bout the things that make you shed a couple tears Tell me why we're still here Through the pain and the struggle, tryin' not to disappear Come and crack a couple beers, you could tell me what you hear Why don't you tell me bout your fears Tell me bout the things that make you shed a couple tears Tell me why we're still here Through the pain and the struggle, tryin' not to disappear Come and crack a couple beers, you could tell me what you hear
