Locksmith - Bear With Me lyrics

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 bear with me

The butt of every joke when other
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 or say
How what happened to Junior Seau
Conversations with my pops
Crying as he packing my mother's clothes in
A box it's hard to watch
Just seeing what type of state he's
In it never dawned on me
Like what if he wants to date again? And
If he does could I accept it?
And if 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 that final curtain close

I feel like getting high to forget about
Life a need something just to
Feel alright all night all right let
Me float away, just another day
We looking to wipe the shame or
Something to numb the pain

I feel like getting high to forget about
Life a need something just to
Feel alright all night all right let
Me float away, just another day
We looking to wipe the shame or
Something to numb the pain

I used to want to be rich and
Wife a chick that's gorgeous now
I just want to help my father
Pay his mortgage now I just
Want to see my brother finish school and
Make sure my nieces and nephews
Are there see him through i'm seeing
Through what you perceive as
True plus you taught me growing
Up was more important
Than being cool but, you would tease him too
Being cruel was the topic they told me
I wasn't black and said I was
Adopted adopted a style and swag
Protect me from what they had in
Store but hit my core
Confided within dad i compensated
To compensate for my
Melanin or lack there of scared of
The inner hell in him but what's propelling
Him can make a eyes welt i
Never thought I'd see the day my father
Needed my help i guess we all
Gotta grow until the day I touch the
Grave and that final curtain close

I feel like getting high to forget about
Life a need something just to
Feel alright all night all right let
Me float away, just another day
We looking to wipe the shame or
Something to numb the pain
I feel like getting high to forget about
Life a need something just to
Feel alright all night all right let
Me float away, just another day
We looking to wipe the shame or
Something to numb the pain

So let the mother record show
The question ain't why
We get high but why is a low?
