I don’t want to hear that

 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.
