Hendersin - Kids

I could say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I could say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere

Shows being booked, songs getting quoted
Lot on my plate 'yeah I got my basses loaded
Busting on the scene yeah, it's like I exploded
The same ones that used to hate me
The same ones that promoted (tell me)
Flashback, freshmen
Said I don't wanna play, bridgewater cool
I'm sorry I don' wanna stay
Because I got another dream I need to follow
Inside screaming, no its never hollow (tell me)
Wallow, never that, life I might said, I bet they said
What are you doing because rap ain't what you better at
I said fuck your, hoop dream. Sorry but you seem
I'm happy like me, maybe you should switch the (tell)routine(me)
Said I need to find a new way yeah, I gotta keep going yeah
I might have went off-track but tell them I'll be back (back)

Tell me everything that happened, tell me everything you saw
They had lights inside their eyes, they had lights inside their eyes
Did you see the closing window, did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward and my heart died, they moved forward and my heart died
Please, please, tell me what they look like, did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew, they were kids that I once knew

Three years later instead of working on my free throw
I'm working stages making about a g a show
I'm doing good it's understood
But even so, this industry is crazy man, I swear y'all even (tell)know(me)
Because your oldest friends, they become your new haters
Only the strong survive, yeah I thought you knew nature
And these tour dates just bring more fakes
Putting up a wall, guess I need to get more (tell)gates(me)
Cause I forget the man, nah, I don't let him in
They talk about the show, wondering if I can get them in
Aye what you said again, doomed it from the start
Cause I put it on my heart like a letter of a letter man
And so I just share a song, keepin' it up like a marathon
Girl got a short dress but you know her hair is long
Yeah we rage cause we do it out of anger
Familiar faces couldn't look stranger

Did you touch them, did you hold them, did they follow you to the town?
They make me feel I'm falling down, they make me feel I'm falling down
Was there one you saw too clearly, did they seem too real to you?
They were kids that I once knew, they were kids that I once knew
