hear me son
Lyrics

🎵 “Hear Me, Son” 🎵
(Verse 1 – slow, country tone)
I see you standin’ there with fire in your eyes,
Same kinda spark I used to try to hide,
You push, I push, and we both cross the line,
Turn nothin’ into storms every time.
I ain’t your enemy, don’t you see,
I’m tryin’ to build you stronger than me,
But every word just turns to a fight,
And we both lose every single night.
(Pre-Chorus)
You think I’m hard ‘cause I don’t understand,
But I’ve been walkin’ this road as a man,
And everything I say, every line I draw,
Is to keep you safe from what I saw…
(Chorus)
Hear me, son, I ain’t tryin’ to break you,
I’m tryin’ to shape you, guide you through,
This world don’t care, it won’t go easy,
And I won’t always be there to reach you.
Hear me now, before it’s too late,
Before these walls turn into fate,
We ain’t supposed to stand this far apart—
I’m not your fight… I’m your heart.
---
(Verse 2 – faster, rhythmic / light rap flow)
Yeah—
We build with bricks, we break ‘em down,
Legos on the floor, but we don’t come around,
Try to teach you right, try to show you the way,
But it turns into noise at the end of the day.
You don’t hear me, you just react,
Every little thing turns into clash,
I ain’t perfect, yeah I mess up too,
But I’m still right here fightin’ for you.
And your mimi’s hurt when we go at it,
Tension in the house, yeah we both can’t stand it,
This ain’t the life I’m tryin’ to build,
Love gets lost when the room turns filled…
With anger, words we can’t take back,
Small moments turn to deep cracks,
And I see a road I don’t wanna go,
Where I gotta leave—and I need you to know…
---
(Chorus – stronger)
Hear me, son, I ain’t tryin’ to break you,
I’m tryin’ to shape you, guide you through,
This world don’t care, it won’t go easy,
And I won’t always be there to reach you.
Hear me now, before it’s too late,
Before these walls turn into fate,
We ain’t supposed to stand this far apart—
I’m not your fight… I’m your heart.
---
(Bridge – emotional, slower)
If the worst comes down and I gotta walk away,
I need you to hear every word I say,
You ain’t losin’ me ‘cause I stopped lovin’ you,
You’d be losin’ the man who was fightin’ for you.
Every lesson, every “no,” every line I drew,
Was me tryin’ to build somethin’ strong in you,
Not to control you, not to tear you down—
But to make sure you stand when life comes around.
---
(Verse 3 – mix of country + modern cadence)
You’re nine years old but you’re growin’ fast,
These little moments—they don’t last,
And I don’t wanna spend ‘em in a war,
Slamming words like a broken door.
I wanna laugh, I wanna teach,
Throw a ball, sit back on the beach,
Show you how to be strong and kind,
Not just loud with a closed-off mind.
Being a man ain’t yellin’ loud,
It’s standin’ calm when it gets too proud,
It’s knowin’ when to stop and hear,
Not push away the ones right here.
---
(Final Chorus – big, heartfelt)
Hear me, son, I ain’t tryin’ to break you,
I’m tryin’ to shape you, guide you through,
This world don’t care, it won’t go easy,
And I won’t always be there to reach you.
Hear me now, don’t turn away,
We can fix this—start today,
We ain’t supposed to stand this far apart…
I’m not your fight—
I’m your heart.
