All night long, girl I heard you calling my name

Coal Heart I love you, Coal Cash I love you

I hope you love me too (I was like nah bitch blow me)


[Coal Cash]

Both my grandfathers are naval veterans of world war 2

My pops grew up hard, he played the guitar that poured the blues

I knew God cuz my mother's one of his harbingers

I'm walking with the Son, plus I'm the son of a carpenter

I'm one to harken at the troubles, struggle and finding mirth

Hurt in my heart's so frigid, a blizzard had marked my time of birth

Inclined to work just as hard as both my parents do

Regarded my tracks a road and the holes in my soles are wearing through

My daring knew no discretion, lessons I learned them hard

It took a car collision for vision to really turn to God

My scars are wisdom, I've risen out of the loss I hold

Told my father's alike, with a spite trying to cut off my nose

I loath corruption, though something inside my moral's off

Force the pain below, don't like to show how I quarrel with loss

Abnormal in thought my parents of course taught me all I believe

To freely think,and talk from their, support I have all that I need

Watering seeds in order to feed what my dreams will defy

Love for my grandmother, word to the color of the green in my eyes

As I discover my father's mother was an artist too

And though I've never met ya,this art's reflecting this part of you

My heart is truly a poet, I know it's in my blood

A love my family harbors, and father whatever Bad Karma does

I love the genre of rock, Hip-Hop is in my genes

Keen supreme skills, and I've been ill since I was in my teens

I've been a fiend for the music, slay it like Stevie Ray

Play like Danny Gatton and Eric Clapton mixed with Robert Cray

The doctors say my shell is one hell of a specimen

Testing my DNA like Cassius Clay my way is excellent

A testament I got a lot to show don't wave me off

It's Tabs and Coal, we're like Geronimo and Crazy Horse

The way we talk comes from the thoughts of our special vibe

Apples that landed close, holding a toast to our ancestral tribe

The apple don't fall far...


[Tabs]

Hey hey watchyu say now, my family tree is insanity

I hit every branch on the way down

I rep the underdog verse fucking frauds and fake clowns

I use to bully the bully and beat his ass on the playground

Came out of a house of blues

A punk step running his mouth, I knock him out his shoes

That's just how we do

Never say die, I'm not allowed to lose

Even if it's one pebble at a time I can make mountains move

All that's amounting to is manic depression which turns to

Savage aggression in a matter of seconds

Don't presume to dictate, I get mad at suggestions

I already know the answer if I'm asking the question..Ha

Here to save the day is captain obvious

Always quick with a sarcastic back handed compliment

Never at a loss for words or a lack of confidence

Forever up to the task of unmasking incompetence

Got the carpenter genes, at first site I'll nail ya

Product of bad days and worse nights, my birth right is failure

Son of a naval seamen so it's only logical his semen would birth someone who cursed like a sailor

So fuck you and your better opinions I never listen

I mean I'm down to build but I'm also skilled in the demolition

Filled with pessimism I never get the recognition

So I drink til I'm puking up spirits like an exorcism

Ask any friend that's living, I'm a loyal dude

That would treat a king like a court jester, a royal fool

Running up on your team screaming O'Doyle rules

To let you faggots know I'm bad to the bone like spoiled food

I climb my way up from the bottom rung

Meeting problems head on cuz I was taught not to run

Got a hot head, a good heart and an honest tongue

But me and my brother ain't gotta wonder where we got it from

The apple don't fall far...
