j. forte - honesty lyrics
[verse 1: j. forte]
i, live in a nation where supposedly we’re all created equally
but tell me if that’s how it’s supposed to be
why are there people freezing to the bone on the streets
with nothing to eat
while others are sleeping cozily
not hearing what these people preaching me because honestly
your religious beliefs feel like some bullsh-t you been feeding me
telling me how i need to be but see to me
that’s just a false reality to take away my individuality
i’m not a non-believer
i just don’t believe in nonsense like living honest
because your haunted by the consequence what kind of god is this?
if he exists then tell me this why is so much amiss
i don’t see much grace i just see the faces of people i miss
feel the strain of the pain as the atheist rants
because i’m spitting for those who never had a chance
[hook: j. forte]
so tie my hands
burden me and beat me
til’ i’m lying and can’t stand
tie it in the sand
all that i demand
in return
is some honesty, honestly
i yearn for some honesty
possibly, can i earn some honesty?
i’ll pay
any cost you want of me
honestly, all i need is some honesty
honesty, honesty, honestly
i yearn for some honesty
possibly, can i earn some honesty?
i’ll pay
any cost you want of me
honestly, all i need is some honesty
[verse 2: j. forte]
i’ve, never been one to keep my breath in my lungs
and hold my tongue and i guess that’s how the records begun
because ya’ voice ain’t heard when you lacking the courage
to open your mouth and voice your words
feeling weak when you speak because you speaking through a muzzle
it’s a dog eat dog world so i’m barking til’ it crumbles
or they carry my remains and carelessly bury what’s left of me
in a cemetery where all of my relatives come to stare at me
or til’ i live to hear the rumble of applause
on the day we make a change ain’t never gave up a fight without scufflin’
in the rubble but maybe that’s the reason i always got into trouble
when i was young
i felt abandoned like a baby never cuddled
because mama worked like a slave
to get us through all the days
of our financial struggle
and dad’s yelling and raging while making minimum wage
so i blamed the lazy motherf-cker
for mama having a hustle and never getting a slumber
because she was living at work making life for her a bummer
see i’ve always been told i’m a piece of the puzzle
but i’m too f-cking scuffed up to ever fit in with the crowd
let alone a couple every girl i’ve ever been with’s gone running
away when they discovered what was bottled up under
uncovered who i really am
a dimwitted misfit that they can’t understand
[hook]
[verse 3: j. forte]
see i just want to write a perfect song
the type of sh-t that gets a person
who’s been hurtin’ because they don’t belong
to nod their head and keep it jerkin while they sing along
see i don’t think it’s wrong
that you smoke weed from a bong
i just seen so many people blowing smoke in their bed
til’ they got slow in the head
and eventually
they sat alone sentimentally
their friends moved on
while they moved none
and it’s hard to get a hold of a job
when you’re told you’re a slob
who doesn’t have a calling
or the knowledge
to do certain tasks
because daddy ain’t earned the cash
to get your -ss into college
so you dash for the stash of crack that’s in your pocket
or grab at the gat in your pants load and unlock it
and [???] trembling with adrenaline as you c-ck it
resembling a generation of self-hatred of course
we feeling useless while visibly getting wasted
ain’t no magic on this planet ain’t no person that can snap
snap us out of our habits and make us feel happy
when we’re happily feeling cr-ppy
wrapped up in our cr-p because our cerebral
can’t see clearly through the evil
[hook]
