Maybe im not speaking clearly Lyrics

To my two daughters who I love

I don't know if I'm speaking clear or not, but, uh, pay attention, I'm trying to talk to you

I try to talk to you, but you don't hear me. Maybe I'm not speaking clearly

What's it gonna take for you to listen? I just want you to reap life's blessings

I watch the path that you've been taking. I see the mistakes you be making

It breaks my heart to see you breaking. I try to talk to you, but you don't listen

I try to teach you, but for some reason I can't reach you

I don't stop trying cause I believe in you. The question is, do you believe in yourself

Don't worry about everyone or anybody else, this shit is real

When we talking bout life, just wanna see you on track, doing what's right

I know you got a lot bundled up inside. Just know you can talk to me anytime

I done been through every situation you can imagine, so I don't think I won't understand what you talking or asking

I try to talk to you, but you don't hear me. Maybe I'm not speaking clearly

What's it gonna take for you to listen? I just want you to reap life's blessings

I try to talk to you, but you don't hear me. Maybe I'm not speaking clearly

What's it gonna take for you to listen? I just want you to reap life's blessings

I see you followed in my footsteps growing up. You remind me of myself when I was young

But the only difference was I was always locked up. I grew up in the system, so I didn't give a fuck

If I could turn back time, I would. Cause the way I lived my life was no good

Went through so much pressure, so much pain. Every day it felt like it fucking rained

And I don't wanna see you go thru the same, it really damaged my brain

And all the drugs did was temporarily hide the pain. But the following day, it was back to reality

And I found myself once again chasing that dopamine. Hoping and wishing on dreams

Waiting on a miracle from God it seems. Instead of standing tough and getting up, I found myself stuck in a rut

Living in the moment, not giving a fuck. Not realizing all the time I wasted that was dumb

I try to talk to you, but you don't hear me. Maybe I'm not speaking clearly

What's it gonna take for you to listen? I just want you to reap life's blessings

I try to talk to you, but you don't hear me. Maybe I'm not speaking clearly

What's it gonna take for you to listen? I just want you to reap life's blessings

I just want you to reap life's blessings
