So Many Feelings
Part 1: Baby Crying
*phone ringing*
[Intro: Claire & Fran]
Hello
Hey
Hey
Whatcha doing?
Nothing, just in here, chilling. What you doing?
I mean, low key, high key...
Oh, boy
Don't you avoid me, okay? You know [?]. I'm just sitting here, trying to understand what is wrong with my husband, cause he just, I don't know...we just like...
He comes home and I've been with the kids all day, you know and like, I understand, like we made an agreement, you go work with the things, I stay at home, take care of the kids, but when he does come home and I just ask him to do something, he just acts like I just sit around and do nothing all day. Like, I don't know, it's been a few months, it's been like real rough, and you know...I just...the baby and getting up in the middle of the night, clean and no sleep and you know
Yeah...
And I mean, I understand, this is what you do when you have a family, but like, I don't know, Fran...I just...I prolly not gonna take this anymore...like, I'm just tired, you know..like...
Yeah
I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of fighting with him. I'm tired of feeling like I'm the only one pulling my weight in our relationship, you know. Sometime I just wonder like can he see me?

[Verse: Cliff & Sho]
Nah, like 100, you know I love her
And I ain't lying, I'm just feeling uninspired and really tired
I get home, she throw me a million chores
And I'm like "Babe, please can I get a second to breathe?"
I hear you, bruh but imagine being with the kids all day
She needs a break, maybe a chance to get away
But bruh, that's the role she chose to play
By the way, I could never ever say this to her face
I feel she sitting round the house gaining weight
Nah, couz, hold on bruh, you out of line
You act like you all slim, staying in the gym
Do you affirm her? Do you give her compliments?
I mean for real, do you make her feel confident?
Bruh, she throws jabs and sometimes it really hurts
Fact is, I get my compliments when I'm at work
And when she's wrong, she will never admit it
Bruh, you are the same way, why is you tripping?
Whatever man, I just hate being fake
Sometimes I just think we both need a break
Cliff, fix your conflicts, change your focus
You so busy fixing the world, your family's broken
Bruh, you want peace before an apology
And that's just backwards ideology
Why ain't no one telling her she has to sacrifice
You and Tracy are different, y'all don't know my life
Come on, dude! You know for certain we ain't perfect
We just keep on working and continue learning
I'm not saying I'mma leave but I wanted to
Real talk, just to do the things I really wanna do
Cliff, I know you. We are practically brothers
I gotta keep it real for a minute 'cause I love you
It sounds like you looking for excuses
If that's the case, then this phone call is pretty useless
Don't fool yourself cause our eyes are never satisfied
Plus consequences are never advertised
Anything worth fighting for can get hostile
But if you give up, then you stop believing the gospel
Think about what you prepared to do
Cause when you jump off a plane, ain't no parachute
Yeah I understand you man but if I jump off the plane I don't care where I land

[Hook: Vanessa Hill]
You been working hard, I been working too
It ain't just my job, it takes me and you
We don't have to fight, that's [?] always lose
But the baby's crying, what are we gon do?

[Interlude: Claire & Fran]
So I think you should start praying about it first, let him handle it 'cause otherwise you know, that's...that's gonna cause arguments, you know, or disorder and stuff like that
If you try and attack it, if you can't get him to [?] yourself, then God can't do it, He can't fix it
[?]
Yeah you're right, 'cause right now we not even talking to each other, we doing the whole silent treatment thing..yeah we just...
I'mma pray for y'all though
Yeah, thank you...listen I hear that baby crying, so...let me go tend
I'mma talk to you later, thank you. I love you
Alright, love you too
Bye
Bye

Part 2: Silent Treatment

[Hook: Vanessa Hill]
[?]
I hear your pain though your voice is so silent
Turn up the music to fill up the silence
Turn up the music to fill up the silence
Turn up the music to fill up the silence
Turn up the music to fill up the silence

[Verse: Sho Baraka]
Yo, are we gonna talk about this because like, gosh
It's like you do this thing to me
In my anger, it's hard to let go
The silent treatment is painful, all I hear are the echo
Do I have equity and say what I feel?
Not speaking my anger, but a honest appeal
I resent the silent treatment 'cause I'm voicing the days
And the dangerous space [?] wasting away
I ain't talking to the Lord 'cause I can't even pray
You can't fake the love when you're harbouring hate
I don't know why ignoring you brings me more contempt
Instead of handling business, me seeking forgiveness
Pride is so addictive, jeopardising our friendship
Truth is love, I'm starving for your attention
We can't avoid conflict acting like we ain't caring
Remember us sharing, we can't be like our parents
We got new roles, new goals and things change
New spaces, we must change our expectations
I guess I should talk less and listen more
I should seek the Lord, my knees hit the floor
It's like I'm trying to swim, I sink even more
Instructions I ignore, I never reach the shore
Grr, water all around me, I just feel like I'm drowning
