Dumbfoundead - Word Lyrics
[Verse 1]When I was 15 they said "Get on that real shitStop rapping 'bout the moon, there ain't no room for that Niel shit"They just assume that I'm in my roomWith posters of galaxies and that's why I'm closer to fantasyNah brothaIt wasn't spaceships I heardOnly screams of herHer meaning my mother, father was slurring his wordsSo when I wrote words like 'space'It's metaphor for safe, and stars are better placesGet it?Both of my parents didn'tThe language barriers kept them from knowing anything about meAll the things that I'd tell them would sound AmericanI sell them, so why would they ever doubt me?I will continue my journey until my late teensAn out of body experience, I would take 3Sniffing, smoking, having myself a space dreamFeeling alone, can't connect to all of these earthlings[Hook]What's a man without his wordIf we ain't got a bond then what's it all worthI can tell you the truth, but damn, the truth hurtsAs long as I'm living, I'mma give you my wordWordIf I said I meant it and I'mma do it, do it [x3]What's a man without his word[Verse 2]When I turned 20 they told me "Get on that hard shitWe don't want to hear about all of that broken heart shit"Money over *****es is all I heardHeard falling in love was only for herbs herbsSo I spit about stealing your girl and how she want meWay I'm beating that ***** up, sounding hella thirstyThen it occurred that it ain't her that I wantedBut the validation of all of my G's on the curbAll that shit that I rapped aboutMy dad, he had acted outThe secret women that prevented us from a happy houseAs long as it was catchy I turned it into a chorusPretending that my momma and sister would just ignore itSo I yelled (*****es, *****es, *****es)Words becoming (contradictions, 'dictions, 'dictions)Now I can't label it a fictionIt's sounding too convincingIt is what it is when you say it with conviction[Hook]What's a man without his wordIf we ain't got a bond then what's it all worthI can tell you the truth, but damn, the truth hurtsAs long as I'm living, I'mma give you my wordWordIf I said I meant it and I'mma do it, do it [x3]What's a man without his word[Verse 3]They find real life boringFantasy is cornyAfraid of exploring, need someone to do it for 'emFake shit do sound real when it's recordedSo that fake shit sells to this country every morningAnd the real shit fails and gets put inside for storageBut the real will prevail when the country's in mourningWordWhen you don't mean it you say 'Word'WordAll it's become is just a four letter word[Hook]What's a man without his wordIf we ain't got a bond then what's it all worthI can tell you the truth, but damn, the truth hurtsAs long as I'm living, I'mma give you my wordWordWhat's a man without his word
