Wanna Be Heard

Verse 1

 

They say the eyes are the window, I keep it simple

you can see through mine I'm down to ride for my kinfolk

each pen stroke is perfected, unlike my life except reflected

on this paper placed in the basement just to get neglected

I'm disrespected, at least have some respect for yourself

celebrities think they're the shit cuz they sit on the top shelf

propped up by media and magazines deceivin ya

full of bull shit in the air, here breathe it up

go and sip your champagne, run that campaign

got the whole hood in the video saying, "watch me do my damn thang"

but can you spare change? and give a little to the homeless?

ex soldier sweatin on the corner of where your home is

you bling blingin but the thing is you don't know what somebody's been through

possibly, they could be, sick up in the mental

dentals are missin and they still just sit there wishin

for a little bit of company no one wants to be nonexistent

 

Chorus

 

I just wanna be heard!

is anybody out there?

I just wanna be heard!

does anybody care?

I don't care about the fame, don't care about the money

I just want you to learn something from me

I just wanna be heard!

 

Verse 2

 

I don't do it for the paper, don't do it for the fame

I don't do it for the suits, they want me to play their game

I do it for the love, I do it for the fans

I do it for the man upstairs who put me here to take a stand

I know I got the talent, not cocky, just confident

most people are competent what they're lacking in is common sense

your posting comments in youtube, do you fools even see what it does?

the more connected we become the less I see the love

all these people care about is their reality shows

they're all dumb as shit, and that's exactly what reality shows

so who knows? who am I?

just another guy, who tries to live his life

just another guy out here who is tryna live it right

sacrifice all I have just so you could think twice

before you go down the wrong path, hold strong, stead fast

I know you're stuck in that storm, but the storm will soon pass
