Hook
Oh you can't hear me cry
See my dreams all die
From where your standing on you own
It's so quiet here and I feel so cold
This house no longer feels like home
Verse
Why do I wake up..every morning, with the chills?
Construction junction..only thing, i build is bills
How do you function when you fumbling with pills?
You play the cards your dealt
But what you play when there's no deals?
How do you strive when everybody seems to doubt you?
They tell your story, but don't know a thing about you
The world so cold, your only blanket seems to cloud you
Friends become your enemies, your demons like to smile to
Why can't they just be happy, seeing me move up?
Got this feeling that I'm gaining fans, but family losing touch
I paid a visit, hell I broke my pocket, for a month
Even with my broken marriage, even with no one to trust
Even with my brother gone, at that time was given up
And my mother getting buried under debt, what is luck?
Why should I give f**?
Being humble that's what turned me crazy
Then I read a verse
That said a selfless prayer is all could save me
Hook
Oh you can't hear me cry
See my dreams all die
From where your standing on you own
It's so quiet here and I feel so cold
This house no longer feels like home
Verse
She tries so hard, but heavy burdens weigh her daily
Her basis nothing basic, single mother with 3 babies
Like Brenda… only difference is that she decides to keep them
Some days she gotta starve, to provide and plus to feed them
They took her only means, of transportation on a weekday
You usually see her stranded, with the stroller on the freeway
Thinking something toxic, like I'll never need a man
But the children hear that too, so they don't wanna be a man
Looking in their eyes, now she thinking why oh why?
Did I even bring them here
Why i even give them life
Was this worth sleeping with that guy?
Or even sleeping with that other?
If I gave up on them now, would I be an evil mother?
Would they say I was quiter?
Would they tell em that I loved ya?
Would they say I wrapped you safely?
Or they claimed you from a dumpster?
I'm fighting for you all, but there's no more air for me
Somebody take my children home
Please don't let them see me freeze
Hook
Oh you can't hear me cry
See my dreams all die
From where your standing on you own
It's so quiet here and I feel so cold
This house no longer feels like home
