*To anyone who has ever had suicidal thoughts and is listening to this right now, even if you're not listening, I hope somebody tells you that I am so glad you are still here, and I am proud of you. Do not give up. Do not quit. Keep going. You got life to live, do it.*
This is for the kids who lick it, stick it, and flick a Bic
Popping a Xans and probably chain smoking cigs
Wondering why it was you he picked to be made like this
And why you always try but can never seem to fit in with them
You probably feel alone when you're in a crowd
And crowded when you're alone and you just can't figure it out
Why everyone tries to help you but you just can't hear a sound
'Cause the demons inside your mind are bickering too loud
So every night you cocooning up in your room
You smoking the same weed, you stare at the same moon
You thinking the same thoughts, assuming the same doom
Talking up to God like yo I'll be home soon
Don't do it, you got too much living you got to do
And I hope you can see your future is brighter than Georgia Junes
Don't do it, you got living you got to do
So I hope you can see you're worth more than giving up too soon
*Put your hand over your heart right now. You feel that? That's a purpose. That's life. That's your life. That's you. You are amazing. Do not give that up. Do not quit.*
This is for the kids who could never find a place on this earth
To escape the things that chased from birth
So they just bottle it inside until they break and it bursts
And all the dark in them comes to light and it can't be reversed
You've gotten in pretty deep with all the secrets you keep
Trying to hide your emotions but they're sewn to your sleeve
Your mama wants you to stay but you're just itching to leave
'Cause they say home is where your heart is so you live on the street
But you quickly see that your habits only serve to control you
You see that your Pops was right he said it's cold when you're lonely
And if you're not careful son you'll end up broken and hopeless
But it's too little too late, you're alone and you know it
Seven billion people out there and not one of them knows you
They swear it's love in the air but ain't nobody can show you
You think if you throw the towel there's a home you can go to
Your demons want you to quit and if you listen they'll choke you
Don't do it, you got too much living you got to do
And so many dreams you can reach if you fight it like you're supposed to
Don't, You got living you got to do
So I hope you can see you're worth more than giving up too soon
*You know when I started rapping, it was never about the music really. It was just about getting a message out to people like me, who have been broken and who have been lost and never thought that they could be found. And, I just want to let y'all know that there is a brighter tomorrow. Maybe not tomorrow, but eventually that tomorrow will come, and it will be today. And it's all gonna be okay. You just gotta fight through it. And I hope that I'm helping you do that. And if you've made it this far, I am so happy for you, and I am so proud of you.*
