Hear Me
Poosie & Cru-L-T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was younger I was silent, I was quiet but y'all hear me now
I'm tired of being overlooked, but that's an understatement
Don't try and say my name three times I know you fear me now
I know dead friends who think that I should be small and shaken
But I ain't afraid to say soon I'll be making a hundred thousand
In a minute, I'll look around
See millions, I paint the town, with my feelings
Don't say I shouldn't be heard, or I'll stomp you on the curb
You will hear every word
Pick up your own face boy, pick up your own face boy
You don't got time to waste boy, you don't got no time to waste boy
Learn from your mistakes boy, learn from your own mistakes boy
You're gonna be great boy, you're gonna be great boy
Never drop your face boy, never drop your own face boy
You don't got time to waste boy, you don't got no time to waste boy
Forget all your mistakes boy, forget all of your mistakes boy
You're gonna be great, boy
Don't speak to me unless spoken to
I'm the shit, I make hits when I'm on the loo
When you call your own place, shot clock don't none to you
Who needs a timepiece when there's always time for you
Still had an Ominitrix cause niggas alienated me
Before middle school and elementary
I was changing who I was, what I loved, what I wanted everyday it seemed
I was running with hate in me, I was hunting real aimlessly
Looking for faults, looking for hearts, four parts to replace in me
Now I'm hanging out with lions, tigers and bears
And when I'm falling out it ain't hard to see stairs
Now niggas want my spot like we playing musical chairs
But why would I care
Pick up your own face boy, pick up your own face
Pick up your own face boy, pick up your own face boy
You don't got time to waste boy, you don't got no time to waste boy
Learn from your mistakes boy, learn from your own mistakes boy
You're gonna be great boy, you're gonna be great boy
Never drop your face boy, never drop your own face boy
You don't got time to waste boy, you don't got no time to waste boy
Forget all your mistakes boy, forget all of your mistakes boy
You're gonna be great, boy
I know you hear me
Now now now now
Hear me now now
Hear me hear me
Now now now now
Hear me now
I know I know hear me
Now now now now
Hear me now now
Hear me hear me
Now now now now
Hear me (shut up)
I know you hear me now

And I can't waste it with you dear
I don't want to waste my time or energy on the people who hurt me
U were holding me back
I feel like someone was hindering my growth or progress
I thought I could trust u most
I expected to be able to trust someone who was important to me
And I Protected u at all cost
I went to great lengths to protect and support that person
U were scared and had to ghost
That person left or disappeared because they were afraid
Shit really broke my heart
Their departure was extremely painful
And that's not why I gave up!
However, their leaving did not cause me to give up completely
U were my 2 in 1 package
That person was a combination of my best friend and romantic partner
My best friend and love
They were both my closest friend and the person I loved romantically
And if u ever come back
If that person were to return
I'd use ur own words against u
I would use their own words to remind them of their departure
"It was lovely but ITS OVER
I would remind them that their time with me is over, despite the good memories we shared
And it is what it's is" boo'
I accept that what happened cannot be changed, and that person is not a part of my life anymore
