Lowkey – Who Really Cares Lyrics
Lyrics
This is dedicated to you, you know who you are
- Listen.. Yo
Verse 1
- I called you when I needed you most, I thought we would link
- I told you the bad news, you haven't talked to me since
- Frankly, I don't want to talk to a shrink
- I might look happy but I'm angry and I'm tortured within
- You come back around now, with your hands out
- I can see the guilt in your eyes, maybe you understand now
- It isn't the fact that when I talk you didn't listen
- It's that you said you'd call back in a minute but you didn't
- Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to beg friend
- It just feels like my life's hit a dead end
- I tried to turn around but now my back's against the wall
- And the pain just won't stop I might have to end it all
- I tell myself life is sacred, Its not right to waste it
- I feel surrounded but at the same time isolated
- At times my own day dreams scare me
- I find myself hating anyone that may seem carefree
- I'd rather go out smiling, than crying at home
- I've realized that my worst fear is dying alone
- At times I lose my composure but that's not a surprise
- I can't control the emotions I keep bottled inside
- Don't pretend there's a friendship you and me share
- When you hit rock bottom people are usually scared
- I guess stupidly I expected you to be there
- And when the shit hits the fan man, who really cares?
Hook
- Hey now, who really cares?
- Hey, won't somebody listen?
- Let me say what's been on my mind
- Can I bring it out to you?
- I need someone to talk to
- And no one else will spare me the time
Verse 2
- I was just sitting here feeling sorry for myself and helpless
- Then I realized that I was just being selfish
- I'm a soldier, my self-centered brain is my helmet
- But when reality hit me, I felt sick
- We run from our problems, there's many that are paralyzed
- We take life for granted, D's sibling never had a life
- We've heard it all before, some people are deaf
- That tramp lives in a box while I sleep in my bed
- Inside I'm a tortured man, who hates living
- But there's people being tortured in Abu Graihb prison
- There's youths right now, that are dying from Malaria
- So we can have clean running water in our area
- That shit there, has got me feeling ashamed
- If you've been through it, tell me what's the meaning of pain
- You went court, and they locked you away when you we're acting wild
- There's people in Guantanamo Bay, that never had a trial
- We've seen a lot - there's some that were born blind
- In some places hip hop can't be performed live
- You whopped bare chicks, you think you a heavyweight?
- In Africa 6000 people die from AIDS everyday
- And the babies there get it from their mothers
- So think about that next time you fuck without a rubber
- It hurts, and no one said the truth would be fair
- The world's a messed up place man, but who really cares?
Hook
- Hey now, who really cares?
- Hey, won't nobody listen?
- Let me say what's been on my mind
- Can I bring it out to you?
- I need someone to talk to
- And no one else will spare me the time
