Lock Smith - Bear With Me

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 Seauo Conversations with my pops, crying as he packing my mother's clothes in a box It's hard to see him just knowing what kind 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 touch the stage and til my final curtain close

I feel like getting high to forget about life A n**** need something just to feel alright all night all right Can I get 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 n**** need something just to feel alright all night all right Can I get 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 n**** need something just to feel alright all night all right Can I get away, just another day, we looking to wipe the shame or something to numb the pain

So let the motherf****** record show The question ain't why we get high but why is a n**** low
