Lyrics Hard Pills and Heartbreak - Charlie Farley

Hard Pills and Heartbreak

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
