Hard Pills and Heartbreak - Charlie Farley

Yeah

All I need is a mic, I’m lyrically out of sight

But I guarantee I’ll recite fire 'til I’m quarantine tight

Hype, but I’m not overrated, underappreciated

Some say that I made it, but I ain’t makin' enough

The game made me jaded

Man, I hate it for takin' away the way I once felt

Whenever I hopped on stage

It’s safe to say that I dwelled down in the basement to tell

The stories that I now sell for fortune cookies and crumbs

Fortunately for these young folks, they got time to come up

But I ain’t like that (Nah)

See, I been hangin' like a thistle in a honeysuckle patch

Standin' out, standin' between country and rap (Woo)

Steady bombin' like a missile in the middle of Iraq

But they overlook me 'cause I ain’t wanna talk smack (Yeah)

This ain’t Duck Dynasty, but that’s a fact, Jack (Yeah)

Plus I’m bipolar, so I don’t make friends fast (Nah)

And that’s a setback whenever it comes to music work

'Cause to build your net worth, you gotta be able to network (That's real)

But oh well, hell, I’m doin' fine in life

Except on my personal side (Right)

C-I-G-I, leave my heart on my sleeve

Why must I be nice to the kind

That like to become me wife

And then when day turns to night

They try and fight 'cause of my career

Listen here, all I fear is beer 'cause I get lost in it

'Til I’m exhausted like I do this, boo

So the truth is, I ain’t afraid of losin' you

Now, that’s real

Alright, let’s get real personal

Come on

For what it’s worth, I never slept with one fan

I got kids to feed, so I’m on the road to stack grands

Shake hands, make fans, buy a lot of land

Get an advance and do it all, all over again

That’s why I’m sowin' up damn seeds

'Cause if I can grow grass from rock, I’ll be the man

The plan for 2020 was to tour nonstop

But COVID showed its ass and made us all close up shop

While sittin' at home, me and my girl started fallin' apart

So I confided in an ex, and that was the start

Of the end of a relationship I wish I could mend

'Cause I thought she was the wind, she thought I was just dirt

And it hurt, so I tried for months to work with her

But she was sayin' she loved me while she was sleepin' around

Yeah, I got punched in my stomach just for standin' my ground

So nah, I ain’t at a hundred, but I’m a lot better now

'Cause I found a woman that respects what I put down

So I don’t miss the love that I lost, yeah

Nor do I neglect or reject a woman I met

And because of all this, I’ve had a lot on my chest

Y’all, this last year’s been insane (Insane)

So while sittin' at home, I thought

I’ll be damned if I’m not gonna write about it (Yep)

So welcome to Hard Pills and Heartbreak

My life in songs, leggo
