NY Bangers - Can You Hear Me Now? lyrics

[Cody Coyote] Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Let's go Wake up every morning, I'm heading out to my day job Waiting every morning, three buses is what I stay on Visions not distorted, I focus until my days gone Knowing what's important, My motive is that I stay strong Cupboards often empty, groceries rarely heavy Hunger pains are plenty, like that since I was twenty Back to when we lost the house, Momma's car got repossessed Back to when I had my doubts The trauma starts, I'm feeling stressed Anxiety, my rivalry that often found depression A conscious mind was hard to find bounded by aggression Can I see my time to be the one who found a lesson Utilize my mind to see no violence and no weapons Used to have a gun tucked inside a compartment For haters who would wanna jump and ever try to start ish Thinking bout all the nights in east side apartments Now I'm done with living rough, I'm gonna be a star kid Lifestyle glorified by hustling and trappin Seeing there is more to life but struggling to happen Working past the elements that had me feeling trapped in Focus on what's relevant to help me make it rappin Living life sober took my foot off the throttle Living in the fast lane traps you in a bottle Looking life over, I've become a role model Giving up my past days so my future ain't a problem Focus on my dream, yeah I made that the motto Working for that green, get my money like the lotto Provide by any means, yeah I do that like pronto They say nowadays I'm a hard act to follow Growing out my hair which is teaching me some patience Discipline, self respect, to honour what is sacred My strength was always there but my courage had me waiting Now that I have found it, it surrounds my motivation Chose to be a leader for the future generations Rising to the top with the highest elevation Chose to be a speaker storytelling's in my nature Who knew that hip hop would become my only savour Old friends were getting locked up, some were getting shot up This was the reality of how we all were brought up Defied the odds that stopped us, do this for those lost ones Found a way out, doing things I never though of When I think of life I can't believe I almost let go See me on your tv, read about me in the Metro Citizen, CTV, CBC, let's go Putting in the work but I'm never gonna rest though Smudge bowls close when I'm writing every song Asking for strength when I'm fighting every wrong Accepting who I am with the strength to carry on I'm sober, caring, resilient, strong Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?
