lyrics

INTRO:
I never knew the streets
We neva did meet
My name's not Dre
Nah, I neva made beats
Manana Santana
Yeah, I play these strings
So, you can hear His heart sing
Listen to His heart beat

VERSE:
Now, you looking at me with eyes wide open
Yeah, I spit a few bars
But that ain't nothin'
I heard a story 'bout a girl like you
Her smile paintin' pictures
But all I see is the blues
Moonlight makin' waves in her face
I cried as the diamonds dripped cold from her face
Cold day in September
Daddy said he'd be back, but she don't remember
The last time she saw him
Could that be why she's looking for a mister or a sister
Innocence wrote her
Just to tell her that he missed her

PRE-CHORUS:
And her heart's still broken
Yeah, her heart's still broken
And she'll do whatever it takes
Looking for a love that can fill that place
Whatever it takes
(Come love)
And fill that place
Every time you cried
Every sleepless night
I could hear your heart beat

CHORUS:
I just wanna know that you're around
When I'm feeling topsy turvy
When my world's spinnin' upside down
I just wanna know that you're around
Just to know you're there
Just to know you're there for me
Just to know you're there for me

VERSE:
Again I neva knew the streets
We neva did meet
I had the perfect life
That's what told me
They neva did see that I felt so alone
Tryna figure out what makes a house a home
This alcoholic, drug addict, Hitler in my home
At times to afraid just to leave my light on
Hey Marvin, what's going on?
The American dream, it isn't what it seems
The prettiest people
Do the ugliest thing
Hey Kanye
Family in shreds
Working nine to five just to get the latest threads

BRIDGE:
How sick am I
Of how we've implied
That everyone knows
How your life goes
Behind closed doors
Beneath the scars
Well I'm under the stars screamin'
God can ya hear me?
God can ya hear me now?
God can ya hear me?
God can ya hear me?
God can ya hear me now?
Can ya hear my heartbeat?
