C-RHYMS - David Lyrics

DAVID DAVID DAVID
DAVID DAVID DAVID
Sitting behind the keys, connecting the dots
Tryna find the space between the notes on the spot
Tryna read between the lines
In a search of better times
But the measures can't be treasured cause they're on lock
Looked at the kid the other day and saw myself in the reflection
The hunger in his eyes and the strive for perfection
The ever-growing knowledge soon became resentment
As I realized the boy became independent
See at times, all he had was himself
When he couldn't speak his mind
And he couldn't ask for help
He stayed quiet
But the silence spoke volumes
Sadly for him, he had tone deaf surroundings
The lone wolf, the sole survivor
His sorrows multiplied and he turned into a
Product of his own environment
Meningitis and no-one there to save it
His mom grabbed his arm
And was screaming at him "David"
DAVID DAVID DAVID
Wake up lil man, what you saying
DAVID DAVID DAVID
Call an ambulance pops, start praying
What's a penny for your thoughts if your life ain't worth a dollar
What's left of all your talents when your life hangs in the balance
These questions, left unanswered
We'll never know what would've happened
But nowadays people say that my life is going great
Got a stunning girlfriend and there's food on my plate
They want a piece of me
To complete their own puzzle
But I made mine alone with my own f*cking struggles
The best way to fight fear is information
But to them, ignorance is bliss in any situation
First they turned a blind eye
Then they gave a side eye
They looked at my body
And they left me there to die
Used the grief as the fuel for the engine in my brain
Lost control of the wheel, it nearly drove me insane
Got seriously trapped within the cages I built
Killed my demons and I almost got survival's guilt
Almost - hah
See I'm still standing
The man with a plan and I'm still demanding
Some are born lucky
Others lucky to be born
Safe to say that I know which side that I'm on
DAVID DAVID DAVID
Wake up lil man, what you saying
DAVID DAVID DAVID
Call an ambulance pops, start praying
Burn the whole place down if I have to
Would even give my life in exchange for you
So many questions, left unanswered
We'll never know what would've happened
See at times, all he had was himself
When he couldn't speak his mind
And he couldn't ask for help
He stayed quiet
But the silence spoke volumes
Sadly for him, he had tone deaf surroundings
