Kutt Calhoun, Barbara Ward - Calling My Name lyrics

Is this what this shit is all
About can someone tell me
Why these blood, sweat and tears
Years I give seem so unhealthy
Like seeing the beast unmasked for
The first time so unveiling
Yet it's heartful it went from thoughtful
To feeling heartbroke and so it's melan
Thinking about being on the
Stage with them nigga's
Sweating giving you whatever you
Paid for them tickets
No it is not another act
Today that just give it
To you like in the way
We do makes it exquisite
Making this hittit's taking this trippit's
Goin' on the internet and facing this critics
Saying "his sickic" is great to hear
But all the compliments it
Ain't paying me shitic
Its like this music thing is my drug
Habit and your making me kick it
But on the other hand me having to go
Without it would make me get sinic?
Gather you to prevent that all it would take
Is a little bit of basic incentive
Cause, I don't think know that without your
Support a career would flaking and finish
So take a quick minute
Put your whole damn face in this business
See what I go through on a daily when numbers
Don't add up and take a quick visit
Though the mind where patience was given'
Find the grave and pray for this nigga
Got my whole life written in pencil and
All your doing is erasing this livin'

Said I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name
Said I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name
With everyone in the world to see in me
And I don't know who's to blame
Cause, I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name

If I just happen to stop
It would be catastrophic
But since this matter of topic
Let's get back to options
I could just get a job and
Get right back to docking
Move in a wack apartment and confine myself
Into a one room shack is hardly
What can happen?
I wouldn't make enough to provide for
The family without the rapping
But, your asuming that we get paid good
Cause we keep touring but in actuality
You don't know about this game
Nigga you don't know about this rain
You don't know about the six kids that I have
To feed nigga when the stomach got pains
Its so insane
Cause, I'm making a hit they come and takin
It all away and before I consolidate
Nothing to salvage
From hearing my daughter say
"there goes the gifts for the holidays"
But we all OK is what I hear
When I know it's just words of comfort
Is what I fear
If I own nothing else I know one thing
If you don't buy records, I don't eat
If I don't eat
Then it's time to go and count on streets
If I don't leave
My 7 to a jail house cell then
My destiny is 6 feet hollow deep
And thats all I need
A Rest In Peace for poor old me
I'm hearing that everybody love me
Boy you got a real good way of showing me

Said I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name
Said I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name
With everyone in the world to see in me
And I don't know who's to blame
Cause, I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name

If I could go back to when all of
This happened and start when
Rappin was innocent
Where niggas was happy you did it a
Rally for love when streets were replenishin'
But those are my sentiments
Now the shit is so menacin'
Venom in many men give them an in
And they would go in your window
And load right up under your nose
In a minute man how can I get it back
Im too addicted with signing this autographs
Taking this pictures with
People I never knew its in my ligaments
Im just compelled to do
Whats in my spirit when
Everything is genuine
Hand me that sliver pen
I get strait with you
Right after this gentlemen tired as fuck
But, I'm full of adrenaline
Cause, I just don't know
When I can do it again fresh off the stage
After giving you energy
Best show you ever seen
Everyone witnessed it im so committed
Its highly ridiculous
Song after song at 310%
Mingle with kids on the floor
Right before we go on
And that's so they know I'm official with
Keeping it real
But it ain't increasing the sales
It feels like I'm a new lyricist
And this ain't no Tech N9ne flow
How many Kutt Calhoun's Tech N9ne know
Tech my bro
And be the the first nigga that will
Tell mothafucka's "betta check my growth"
So unless I croak
I ain't never gonna rest my throat
And when I depend on the likes of men
Cause god gon bless my soul

Said I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name
Said I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name
With everyone in the world to see in me
And I don't know who's to blame
Cause, I don't hear
Don't hear you calling my name
