Sticks and Stones

lyrics

Verse 1
have you ever played the fool/
insecure but you try to play it cool/
Embarrassed but front like you get all the hoes/
exposed like emperors without any clothes/

The world is so cold, leaves warm hearts frozen/
never swim again cause the last time you dove in/
the waters got rough your ship got wrecked/
from now on bitches don't deserve your respect/

They say hurt people hurt people
so violence won't deter evil/
the catechism can't explain the cataclysm
when cousins cast to prison cause coke is his coping mechnism

I don't visit cause my vision can't process the sight/
don't call don't write/
He snorted up my sympathy smoked up my grief/
So now I pruned his branch off my family tree

Hook 2X
Shoot you down without bullets
Cut you deep and don't leave a mark
Sticks and stones Break your bones
But words break you heart

Verse 2
I resist temptation with thoughts of my daughters
don't want them growing up with emotional disorders/
a bitter divorce worse than armageddon/
parents threaten to use children as weapons/

bargaining chips of a failed relationship/
varibles in the equation of an even split
daughters hear daddy called mommy a bitch
and Mommy told daddy “Nigga get you shit”

impressions on their young mind/
Lashing out, Canarys in a coal mine/
little angels grow up so fast/
deal with trouble at home by interrupting the class/

they see when we scream and we yell
this match made in heaven desends into hell/
floated up to cloud nine lost our balence then fell/
and the family book a room at the heartbreak hotel/

Hook 2X

Verse 3
Hurt feelings linger, hurt feelings linger/
throw rocks at each other, point the finger/
then apoligize come clean
trying to take back words I don’t mean

we both tripping, we both bugging
pushin and shoving wars over nothing/
insecurity, jealousy, pride/
anger, unfaithfulness, bitterness, lies/

so this how it’s gone end
I thought at least we would be friends
you act like you rather cut your arm off/
i guess some lines you can’t uncross/
