[Verse 1]
I came in this world and yet I had nothing
But my dad told me I want you to be something
So I'm living by the phrase man each and every day
So I guess that's why I never sleep
I only dream while I'm awake
Let me take you back almost 20 years ago
When I was born in Florida packed our bags and hit the road
Grew up trouble makers man they couldn't teach us
My dad jumped state it was the only was he could keep us
We was family but didn't make it very far
Til that one day we got took from DHR
Dad I'm sorry that you missed your kids growin up
I guess that's why I always had a frown growin up
And I can barely rap this without choking up
Jus look down dad and you know I'm looking up
I hurts me so bad to know that your gone
I don't wanna live without you that's why I live alone
Til I see you again
[Chorus]
Hello, hello, is anybody out there?
Cuz I don't hear a sound
Alone, Alone, I don't really know where the world is
But I'm missing out
[Verse 2]
Dear mom
Tell me you never let dad be with you
Do you really know the pain you know that you really put him threw?
I remember one day I pulled up in his drive way
Sittin in his Jimmy, man he was crying
Crying cuz he wanted you and a better life
I promised I would give it to him but I ran outta time
And nothin hurts me more to see my dad hurt
Just know for you, he gave his last words
Chased you for about 20 years, but for some reason you just wouldn't give
I'm not tryna throw your mistakes in you face
That's not my intention that'll never be the case
Dad always wanted us to try and be closer
But right now I got a lot on my shoulders
All my life you always been incarcerated
But maybe when you get out we can have that conversation
[Chorus]
Hello, hello, is anybody out there?
Cuz I don't hear a sound
Alone, Alone, I don't really know where the world is
But I'm missing out
[Verse 3]
Sis
Keep your head up and always keep them kids fed
Don't make em grow up like we did
I know I'm not around much but I'll always be beside you
You know I love you and I love Brian too
Now Brian, keep doing what you doing
Make dad proud, and make me proud me too
Your my big bro can't noone replace you
My big sis and big bro but ima take care of you
Yea, I know our struggles been real
Our lives have been really really rough
But it's all gonna change when my day comes
I'm on this PaperChase and I'm doing it for us
Yea one day bruh Ima get signed. And It's gettin close it's almost that time
And ima pull up in your yard with a big wad of cash
And you can tell your jobs to always f**ing kiss your a**
Promise
[Chorus]
Hello, hello, is anybody out there?
Cuz I don't hear a sound
Alone, Alone, I don't really know where the world is
But I'm missing out
