In the split second that I lose my mind
I play the things I didn’t want to hear in time
The things that built me and the things that broke
I didn’t want to hear at all and in that moment it spoke
I don’t want to hear about Bills!!!!
I don’t want to hear about how I was raised
Because for a man to be a man
He has to live with the mistakes he made
I don’t want to hear your discontent.
I’m working towards the man I want to be
Trying to live my expectations of you and everyone around me
And loving you is the only thing worth this reality
So please…….not tonight
I don’t want to hear you cry
For every year that you grow
I see the walls you will hit
Some will break you and some will kill you.
And if you survive it will kill your kindness
Cause you will actually find out the world you’re born into
So I train and protect you or I run to protect you
Because it’s clear to see
that either way I decide, you don’t want to be me
And my tears shed in anger as I watch you hit each wall
Sitting here like “Damn they are me after all.”
And last but not least
I don’t want to go to work or hustle
But I’m a working man and I hustle hard.
And I don’t want to hear that.
