Locksmith - Bare With Me lyrics

[Intro] They say as long as you don't ask for more than your share The world will never give you more than you can bare Bare with me [Verse 1] The bu*t of every joke whenever folks would play foul Life is a bitter tool of ridicule that they plow Enough to make the even great bow How else can you explain the same how When happen to Junior say how Conversations with my pops Crying as hes packing my mother's clothes in a box Is hard to watch, just seeing what type of state hes in And then it dawned on me, like what if he wants to date again And if it does can I accept it If it he chooses to, would my mother be disrespected Nobody knows what it's like to become a widower To lose the one you love and move on, does that belittle her Try to reconsider what litters a person's soul For years I had a problem with reaching for certain goals What did Satan say to Eve just God and the Serpent knows From the day I hit the stage and till the final curtain close [2 x Hook:] [Verse 2] I used to wanna be rich and wife a chick thats gorgeous Now I just wanna help my father pay as mortgage Now I just wanna see my brother finish school And make sure my nieces and nephews are there to see him through I'm seeing through, what you perceive is true Plus you thought me growing up was more important than being cool But you would tease him too, being cruel was a topic They told me I wasn't black and said I was adopted Adopted a scholars swag, protected me from what they had Instore but it hit my core, confided within my dad I compensated to compensate for my melonin I lack there of scared of, the inner hell in him But what's propelling him to making n***a eyes weld I never thought I'd see the day my father needed my help Guess we all gotta grow, until the day I touch the grave and that final curtain close [2 x Hook:] I'm feeling like getting high to forget about life n***a need something just to feel alright Alright, alright Let me float away, just another day We're looking to wipe the shame Is something to numb the pain [Outro] SO please don't get this sh** misconstrude, or be subdude Let the motherf*cking record show The question ain't why we get high But whys a n***a low
