Tae Beast - Can Anybody Hear Me lyrics

[Hook] I've tried to do right Seems as though the only way is selling my soul Its getting hard out here Does anybody feel me? Cause I'm drowning in shame Trying to maintain Wide awake chasing my dreams Is anybody out there? Can anybody hear me? [Verse 1:Ab-Soul] Sometimes I gotta ask myself what do I do it for Is it to cover up the fact I'm really insecure? See music made it possible for me to be somebody So if you had to say yourself Is my intention pure? Am I the next Shakur? Or an attention who*e? Am I Big in his prime or am I premature Does anybody feel me or am I too far to reach Like the edge of the world, from Redondo beach Some say I manifest destiny when I'm on these beats Others say I ain't flashy enough to shine You need a chain at least And you can be more hood You got n***as on both sides You acting like you ain't good Well you from Carson right Ras Ka** was tight And you hot But can you make another soul on ice Everybody trynna tell me what I shouldn't and should But will they still wanna chop it up when I go 'wood [Hook] [Verse 2:Punch] While n***as searching for a pot o' gold I compose the God particle my heart is stone Pumping cement through my veins Taking everything for granted Who can recognize my pain Y'all n***as never did hear me So I quit calling out to n***as Let y'all deal with it, I figured Why cast my pearls to swine If you don't know about grapes I couldn't tell you 'bout wine I couldn't tell you 'bout these lines They just hit me like rain Without a cloud in the sky On a summer's day Ay, I guess it's how I was raised Acquired knowledge, while my peers frolicked and played My Prodigal Son ways, disrupting my coming of age Future looking dim and Ab-Soul wear shades I'd never cover my face I look d**h in the eyes, I didn't blink one time I never felt more alive than that day But who's to say I'm different And when I speak n***as scared they ain't listening And that's beyond me But I believe it's far more menacing And the truth was stranger than fiction once reality get to kicking in It's like the modern day Noah's Ark, they took no note Their bad heart came back and bit them no their hope floats That's why I'm fishing through a sea of n***as They don't hear me and I don't see 'em n***as [Hook] [Verse 3:Ab-Soul] You see, it's like the Titanic scene With the rescue boats It's less dramatic in that I can save y'all with quotes I dropped the gym adrenaline accelerated my pulse And I can say it's dope but what do I really know Currently the word is that I'm too abstract I can barely get my engineer to mix my tracks I'm trynna provide you with facts Trynna keep it real But y'all not interested in that You're more concerned with my appeal You rather see me on YouTube, unconcealing the steel Or on WorldStarHipHop, with diamonds in my wristwatch Or a media take-out Victim of a media stakeout Cursing them out so bad Most of my words were blanked out I hate it when my name is mentioned with the same n***as Who other than their DNA are the same n***as They in the same circle, f** the same b**hes Shake the same hands, man I'm trynna expand For me its gotta be to catch a flight back to Carson I'mma need a pa**port for it If you don't wanna hear me do your boy a favour And press fast-forward, and listen to the emotion in the chorus No this ain't a song outfit But if it was I wore it Come from a different cloth, rippin my bars Pause With my bare hands I can move the earth Just cause I said it in my verse That's the power of words You may not ever get what I was trying to accomplish I might not ever get to do a song with Jay And hear him brag on Hot97 about how I'm so honest I'm ready to throw in the towel like laundry day But I feel as though I've reached the point of no return Like an expired thirty day warranty And I deserve to be the best artist you heard like cattle And I put that on, Herb the 3rd That's my word
