A Silent Tear
“This is for all the people out there-“ the rapper stops, hand running over the crowd, “-who feel like-“ he paces, scamming the crowd, “-like they have done wrong.”
The crowd bursts into cheers, the stage goes dark, the rapper steps back and drums start a steady beat.
“Don't put your faith in me
‘cause loving me is worthless
Don't try so hard to see the best in me
No purpose and you can't save me
I'm a goner and it's making me sick
You don't deserve me
You're too perfect to be dealing with this
Just let me go back to my old ways
I'll be okay I'm sorry.”
The crowd starts to sing along, the lyrics floating throughout the whole stadium.
“Been so hard to keep it simple
Always in the middle of things I
Don't really want to be in
Life for me is sort of sinful
Always act on impulse
Became someone I don't want to be now
I could drop ten racks but
It wouldn't mean a thing
Make it right back
Still gon' end up in a grave
Yeah, she told me she in love
I don't even know her name
I can hit her up but
It won't erase the pain, nah.”
Iamjakehill paces the stage, his part coming in, the mic lifted to his lips.
“Don't put your faith in me
I don't wanna see you cry
Why do you wanna save me?
Why do you even try?
Don't put your faith in me
‘cause loving me is worthless
Don't try so hard to see the best in me
No purpose and you can't save me
I'm a goner and it's making me sick
You don't deserve me
You're too perfect to be dealing with this
Just let me go back to my old ways
I'll be okay I'm sorry.”
The woman sitting alone lets the tears pool, her bottom lip quivers.
“Tell me I'm only by myself
In the vision I created put you to the side
Know I hate to see you cry
But I'm running out of time and
I know you can't relate
I know I deserve it all
Don't wanna be the one you hate
So take my heart and throw it right back
You know I like that you don't deserve that
These worthless words will bury me
Six feet under the dirt, nah.”
The crowd stands, the last verse coming fast. The rappers hold the mic out, the crowd screams;
“Don't put your faith in me
I don't wanna see you cry
Why do you wanna save me?
Why do you even try?
Don't put your faith in me
‘cause loving me is worthless
Don't try so hard to see the best in me
No purpose and you can't save me
I'm a goner and it's making me sick
You don't deserve me
You're too perfect to be dealing with this
Just let me go back to my
Old ways I'll be okay I'm sorry.”
Amidst the roaring applause, a silent tear fell, reflecting the untold story she could never tell.
(This is a real song. By Iamjakehill and Josh A. It’s called Save Our Souls. Not the best, but I listen to Iamjakehill’s angry songs… So I scanned their lists in hopes to find a song that might make someone cry. 🖤🤷🏼♀️)
