EMPATH by Miles Canady Lyrics
Part 1 - Empath
[Intro]
Alright, bring the beat in
Yeah
This like my third take of this verse
Like, I've gotten it right, but I'm trying to get it *right* right, feel me?
Stepping up to the mic again to show 'em what I got!
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Lately, I'm minding my own
Business is booming, writtens in tune cause I write when alone
I'm in my zone, feel like Naito when he fight at the Dome
I sell like hell, it's only right that I get twice all the gold
A long way from classrooms in bootcuts and dollar store Vans
In the halls feeling like life gave me the short hand
Mama stressing that I need better grades to be more
Report card look like they spammed F & D on the keyboard
Sorry, I'm trying my hardest
I feel like deep down, she knew that I'd shine regardless
My GPS on track, there ain't no missed direction
Though I ain't seen textbooks in a fiery 60 seconds
Tell her I'm alright, and ima make rap work
No more crazy bosses because I felt all her past hurt
As long as my voice work, she ain't stressing again
And I just wanna help out whoever I can
She raised a hell of a man
[Hook]
There's weight on your shoulders?
Then best believe I'm the one you should call
There's no need to hold it in
Thanks for thinking to tell me at all
You can tell me anything
I don't judge, I ain't one for the law
You don't gotta explain, cause I feel you
You don't gotta explain, cause I feel you
[Verse 2]
My skin dark, my teeth gapped, and I swing both ways
I drive slow and I sleep too much most days
I'm still me like identity theft, and oh, wait
My heart gold, and that's what makes it all so great
I learned from a low age, that everyone around me got issues
I always ask if I could try out what I can do
I kept it authentic, can't allow it to bend rules
Cause most times that power get found, it gets misused
So when you're down and need comfort to stall
Hanging by a thread so thin that it's nothing at all
Feeling it close in, but you still sick of making escapes
I'll be in your corner when you staring it straight in the face
I'm no coach, but I know the field
So when I pass you, I hope that you open still
Ima treat a stranger like I'm helping a friend
I just wanna cheer up whoever I can
So I'm lending a hand
[Hook]
There's weight on your shoulders?
Then best believe I'm the one you should call
There's no need to hold it in
Thanks for thinking to tell me at all
You can tell me anything
I don't judge, I ain't one for the law
You don't gotta explain, cause I feel you
You don't gotta explain, cause I feel you
Part 2 - Quirk
[Verse]
I give benefit of the doubt
They're bold as the Gryffindor house
Lying while they're slithering out
They think I can't figure it out
They say they'll help if they can
No, I won't tell you my plans
Cry at night, this shit gets to me, fam
But that don't make me less of a man
Empath and I'm sensitive too
You care if it benefits you
My friends all counting on me
You count on bending the truth
Let myself be in this state
I see you're seeing a plate
Sasuke, I'm paralyzed by the snakes
Somehow, gotta keep 'em away
[Intro]
