lirik lagu jay-lee (rap) – simple man
[intro]
yeah
i heard that uh, some people wanted to speak to me
some sh~t to say that i may not want to hear
so here’s a microphone, say it loud and clear
tell me why you’re here, and why you’re so sincere
first up: mum, you can take it from here
[verse 1]
jay, you’re a simple little man
never had the brains or brawn to get the upper hand
always on the phone, you’re on youtube and other apps
but never had the time to watch your own failing ass
you had the chance, but now that time has come to pass
you struggle in the mornings and you can’t complete your tasks
i want to find a compromise why won’t you do as asked
i worry that i see myself in you before i crashed
i want to see you get a job and make a giant blast
leave a legacy behind, the southon’s mark in past
bring your family to life and give all you could have
i want to see you do all that, but fear you can’t be assed
i used to do a lot of drugs, coke and weed and crack
i look into your eyes and all the memories come back
the dead inside, the coming down, the feeling that you’re smashed
i’m scared that you are just as lost and going down that path (wo~oah)
[interlude]
so that was my mum
i hear you, mum
and um, i’m sorry that i was such a bad son
but uh, someone else is coming up to the mic
hey dad, tell me what’s up
[verse 2]
jay, you’re a simple little kid
raised you with your mum and brought you up ’till you were six
gave you two brothers, but both their births i kind of missed
i worry that i don’t see you enough or that you’re p~ssed
i get that you are sixteen now but wish that i was there
for the nine years in between, for the memories, we’d share
for the family, i teared, for what cannot be repaired
so i’m coming out instead, with my hands above my head
i want to spend some time with the son i never met
cause you’ve changed so f~cking much since the time i up and left
and tell your mum i said, i’m sorry for the mess
i’m sorry that i left you all so poor and f~cking dead
i’m sorry that i did the heroin and stayed in bed
when you called my name when i’d just neglect
that you were upset, that you weren’t fed
that you’re barely dressed because your clothes are torn and ripped
so i’m packing up my cards and shuffling up my deck
i’m trying something new i call it being a good dad
but i’ll need the help of you to make it go somewhere
i’ll need you to forgive, an answer to my prayer
i don’t suggest forget about what got us here
i wanna father~son talk, walk along the pier
whatever f~cking fathers do, just tell me and i’m there
you may not be aware, but i do swear that i care (oooh)
[interlude]
thanks, dad
i know that you weren’t always around
but now i think you found a balanced middle ground
and now stepping up… is everyone
take it away guys, yeah
[verse 3]
jay, you’re a simple little guy
you’re doing all these things and we can’t help but wonder why
we give you all this criticism but you don’t reply
we wonder if you even hear the words we shout and cry
your diet’s stupid, always high, don’t you think that you could die?
don’t you think that you are acting like you have more than one life?
don’t you fear that if you do not change your mind you won’t survive?
hate to break the news, but the truth is sadly otherwise
[outro]
sh~t
i hear you, i hear you
f~ck…
i fear what you say
aight, one final word from me, and that’s it for the day
i’m out
