What You Hear

[DT Verse]
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

Hook 2x
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

[Genesis Verse]
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

Hook 2x
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
