Dumbfoundead - Word lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was 15 they said "Get on that real sh** Stop rapping 'bout the moon, there ain't no room for that Neil sh**" They just a**ume that I'm in my room With posters of galaxies and that's why I'm closer to fantasy Nah brotha It wasn't spaceships I heard Only screams of her Her meaning my mother, father was slurring his words So when I wrote words like 'space' It's metaphor for safe, and stars are better places Get it? Both of my parents didn't The language barriers kept them from knowing anything about me All the things that I'd tell them would sound American I sell them, so why would they ever doubt me? I will continue my journey until my late teens An out of body experience, I would take 3 Sniffing, smoking, having myself a space dream Feeling alone, can't connect to all of these earthlings [Hook] What's a man without his word If we ain't got a bond then what's it all worth I can tell you the truth, but damn, the truth hurts As long as I'm living, I'mma give you my word Word If I said I meant it and I'mma do it, do it [x3] What's a man without his word [Verse 2] When I turned 20 they told me "Get on that hard sh** We don't want to hear about all of that broken heart sh**" Money over b**hes is all I heard Heard falling in love was only for herbs herbs So I spit about stealing your girl and how she want me Way I'm beating that p**y up, sounding hella thirsty Then it occurred that it ain't her that I wanted But the validation of all of my G's on the curb All that sh** that I rapped about My dad, he had acted out The secret women that prevented us from a happy house As long as it was catchy I turned it into a chorus Pretending that my momma and sister would just ignore it So I yelled (b**hes, b**hes, b**hes) Words becoming (contradictions, 'dictions, 'dictions) Now I can't label it a fiction It's sounding too convincing It is what it is when you say it with conviction [Hook] What's a man without his word If we ain't got a bond then what's it all worth I can tell you the truth, but damn, the truth hurts As long as I'm living, I'mma give you my word Word If I said I meant it and I'mma do it, do it [x3] What's a man without his word [Verse 3] They find real life boring Fantasy is corny Afraid of exploring, need someone to do it for 'em Fake sh** do sound real when it's recorded So that fake sh** sells to this country every morning And the real sh** fails and gets put inside for storage But the real will prevail when the country's in mourning Word When you don't mean it you say 'Word' Word All it's become is just a four letter word [Hook] What's a man without his word If we ain't got a bond then what's it all worth I can tell you the truth, but damn, the truth hurts As long as I'm living, I'mma give you my word Word What's a man without his word
