All night long, girl I heard you calling my name
Coal Heart I love you, Coal Cash I love you
I hope you love me too (I was like nah b**h blow me)
[Coal Cash]
Both my grandfathers are naval veterans of world war 2
My pops grew up hard, he played the guitar that poured the blues
I knew God cuz my mother's one of his harbingers
I'm walking with the Son, plus I'm the son of a carpenter
I'm one to harken at the troubles, struggle and finding mirth
Hurt in my heart's so frigid, a blizzard had marked my time of birth
Inclined to work just as hard as both my parents do
Regarded my tracks a road and the holes in my soles are wearing through
My daring knew no discretion, lessons I learned them hard
It took a car collision for vision to really turn to God
My scars are wisdom, I've risen out of the loss I hold
Told my father's alike, with a spite trying to cut off my nose
I loath corruption, though something inside my moral's off
Force the pain below, don't like to show how I quarrel with loss
Abnormal in thought my parents of course taught me all I believe
To freely think,and talk from their, support I have all that I need
Watering seeds in order to feed what my dreams will defy
Love for my grandmother, word to the color of the green in my eyes
As I discover my father's mother was an artist too
And though I've never met ya,this art's reflecting this part of you
My heart is truly a poet, I know it's in my blood
A love my family harbors, and father whatever Bad Karma does
I love the genre of rock, Hip-Hop is in my genes
Keen supreme sk**s, and I've been ill since I was in my teens
I've been a fiend for the music, slay it like Stevie Ray
Play like Danny Gatton and Eric Clapton mixed with Robert Cray
The doctors say my shell is one hell of a specimen
Testing my DNA like Ca**ius Clay my way is excellent
A testament I got a lot to show don't wave me off
It's Tabs and Coal, we're like Geronimo and Crazy Horse
The way we talk comes from the thoughts of our special vibe
Apples that landed close, holding a toast to our ancestral tribe
The apple don't fall far...

Hey hey watchyu say now, my family tree is insanity
I hit every branch on the way down
I rep the underdog verse f**ing frauds and fake clowns
I use to bully the bully and beat his a** on the playground
Came out of a house of blues
A punk step running his mouth, I knock him out his shoes
That's just how we do
Never say die, I'm not allowed to lose
Even if it's one pebble at a time I can make mountains move
All that's amounting to is manic depression which turns to
Savage aggression in a matter of seconds
Don't presume to dictate, I get mad at suggestions
I already know the answer if I'm asking the question..Ha
Here to save the day is captain obvious
Always quick with a sarcastic back handed compliment
Never at a loss for words or a lack of confidence
Forever up to the task of unmasking incompetence
Got the carpenter genes, at first site I'll nail ya
Product of bad days and worse nights, my birth right is failure
Son of a naval seamen so it's only logical his semen would birth someone who cursed like a sailor
So f** you and your better opinions I never listen
I mean I'm down to build but I'm also sk**ed in the demolition
Filled with pessimism I never get the recognition
So I drink til I'm puking up spirits like an exorcism
Ask any friend that's living, I'm a loyal dude
That would treat a king like a court jester, a royal fool
Running up on your team screaming O'Doyle rules
To let you f*ggots know I'm bad to the bone like spoiled food
I climb my way up from the bottom rung
Meeting problems head on cuz I was taught not to run
Got a hot head, a good heart and an honest tongue
But me and my brother ain't gotta wonder where we got it from
The apple don't fall far...
