No Longer Silent

Can you Hear me now - 2017-2020

V1

Sticks and stones breaking bones, but words can't hurt

That's the truth they say? Well that's a lie if I ever heard

Outside the verse

The song I rehearse

Listen this

The Nerd with the Verse

Got the verse that hurt

Forget the mask of smile and good

Because today, I'm outta mirth

Rising girth

Giving birth

To something worse than a hearth

Telling me pull back

No matter how much it attacks

I step back

Lookin' at every plaque

Or medal or trophy or something else win

Certificate, party, things I never got in

Oh yeah you talk a lot about whatcha got yo'self into

Then you looking at me cray, because you want me do it too

But I'm "Glued to a screen"

Think you gotta scream?

I hear you, but the things you talkin about, "Nah man, it ain't me"

Tell you time and time again

I wanna be artistic then

You mock me, make a request and

When things come up, can't trust me when

I take "too long," it's only been

Three months since you asked me, can

You back off so I can do everything I gotta finish first

'Cause I have a lot to do, and it really freakin' hurts

When you pull a card like "I be your biggest fan"

'Cause then I gotta say

Something crazy like

"Fan or not, man, you gotta wait"

Three months on hold

And you do something cold

Tell me everything I do has suddenly gotten old

That I need to fit a mold

Truth I think that need be told

I think you salty, something like that to say is bold

Everything gets hazy,

I'm fairly certain you think I'm lazy

But you're the one who gave up,

Couldn't wait for KZG, now–

(Chorus:)

Do you hear yourself? Do you hear yourself?

Are you stuck with your feels? (stuck with your feels)

Can you hear me now? (Can you hear me now)

Or do you only hear yourself? (Only hear yourself)

V2

Aiyyo life be so hungry that I'm caught within the consumption

With the assumption

That I'm beaten, broken down, and all around be sunken

People think that I be nothing

But lemme tell you a little something

I been blessed with a gift

Half y'all know I be bumpin'

An' jumpin'

An' runnin'

An' cunnin'

And somethin' somethin'

Everybody, they be runnin'

Whatcha scared of?

Scared of nothin'?

If y'all here be scared of nothin'

Then I be the somethin'-est nothin'

Ever

I never even put the question to y'all, ah do you ever–

(Chorus)

V3

Heart strings pulled every which way

Time it hurts but it still beat anyway

At every time of day

Give up?

No way

I say

I'm never finna drop the ball

I'd sooner die for all of y'all

Before I drop it

(Do you....)

Cause I'm pulled every which way

Goin through ish everyday

Gotta go completely outta my way

just so my people can say

Wow you no failure today

The hell, do I get a say

(Uh) don't mess with me don't play

Parce qu'en actualité

Je suis le garçon qui mettais

Beaucoup des idées

sur la table, oh ouais

So like I said today

Don't mess with me, don't play

Cause I'ma be that one ginna

Catchin them figgas

Be big as jiggas

Never step to me, cuz

I finna get bigga

Bigger and better

I be a true goal setter

Looking at my face, redder

I be the one that said, set it

As I finna go down

Y'all see me again

I'm in my own town

Town of sound

Never been loud

But now louder than ever

Cause I never

Never be never put myself in an endeavor

That never ends

And if I do, I'm finna append

Append and apprehend

All my rules bend

If y'all need a friend

Haul ass, "Go," Pass, hashtag no rash

Act, but push me over then

Hands gon' be thrown and

I take my leave, so when

I put the question to you

Don't you be surprised

I been doin this for just a year

But I see it in your eyes

Do you—

(Chorus x2)
