Deaf to the call

Intro (spoken)

They keep ringin’, but the line’s gone cold

Street lights talk, but I ain’t sold

Voicemails stack like unpaid bills

I move in silence, tryin’ to feel

Chorus

Feel deaf callin’ me, I don’t answer no more

Echoes in my pockets of the life I swore

Feel deaf callin’ me, whispers at my door

Talk cheap, love cheap, I’m keepin’ score

Verse 1

Phone keep buzzin’, it’s the same ole names

They want my time, my shine, my chains

Used to be brothers, now they chasin’ fame

Sellin’ out for dollars, throwin’ dirt on my name

Mama prayin’, sayin’ keep your head up strong

But nights get heavy when the sirens long

I been through hunger, rain, and the grind of the dawn

So their loud-talk words don’t carry on

Pre-Chorus

Static in the line, truth gettin’ lost in the noise

They call for the hero, but they comfortin’ boys

I step through the smoke, feel the ash in my hand

I ain’t blind to the plot — I just can’t stand

Chorus

Feel deaf callin’ me, I don’t answer no more

Echoes in my pockets of the life I swore

Feel deaf callin’ me, whispers at my door

Talk cheap, love cheap, I’m keepin’ score

Verse 2

Cops on the corner, media in the rearview

They narrate my fall like they never knew

How a child turned soldier, how the streets made a son

How every promise promised then came undone

Brothers in the graveyard, names on the stone

I hear their silent calls when I’m out here alone

They askin’ for vengeance, prayin’ for peace

But the line be clogged with grief’s loud release

Bridge (spoken / soft)

If you call for justice, call for truth, call my name

If you call for change, come walk through the flame

But if it’s for clout or coin or cheap applause

Don’t waste breath on me — I don’t answer those laws

Verse 3

I’m buildin’ a bridge from the pain to the dawn

Teach the young to rise when the old world’s gone

I learned to listen to the soil and the sky

Not every loud voice deserve reply

Legacy’s heavier than the weight of a ring

It’s the lessons you teach and the songs that you sing

So let the phones ring, let the city cry out

I’m learnin’ to breathe where the truth shout loud

Chorus (variation)

Feel deaf callin’ me, ‘cause the world gotta learn

Real love take time, real fires still burn

Feel deaf callin’ me, I return to the earth

Plant seeds for the ones lookin’ for worth

Outro (half-sung / half-spoken)

Keep dialin’ if you must, let the lines stay full

I’ll be here fixin’ holes where the nights get cold

Feel deaf callin’ me — no hate in that tone

Just a man findin’ peace, buildin’ a home

Porque music

See you when I see you
