Don't Quit
What the person to the left got runnin
How the person to the right be strugglin
Empathy, the shoes of another
Feeling all the pain and the suffering of a brother
19 when I got the diagnosis
Storm cloud pouring down powerful emotions
Finally, an answer, for why all the despair
Like a heavy trench coat, I always have to wear
But never, ever, ever understood
Why God places such bad things on the good
Start to think am I faulty, am I crazy, am I broken
Tryna stay calm, controllin my emotions
Gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up
Trials and tribulations never gonna let up
Life is on the line, running out of time
Lord God, please promise we'll be fine
Mama never let me see her cry
Stayed strong, held me down
When I screamed I wanna die
Take it one day at a time
Taking it in stride
Be strong, it's a cycle
Things will change in time
But where's the silver tent in the clouds of doubt
Where's the rainfall when I'm feel I'm in a drought
Feeling all alone, secluded, and confused
Cope with all the wrong shit to try make it through
Sex, drugs, n food wasn't workin
So I picked up a pen and put the pain in my verses
Speaking through the words on the paper
Had to face it, couldn't run from truth
Depression is a bitch but I'm seeing my way through
You can too
Gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up
Life's a rollercoaster, bout to hit the come up
Forecast changing, sun's gonna shine
Just pray that we'll be fine
Came up empty, I really lost hope
Living life teetering on the tightrope
Between life n death
Here n there
Always scared, that it'll be too much
And I'll succumb to the despair
Kept it from my friends didn't wanna be a burden
Devil taking charge
He was my only warden
On my Sylvester Stallone, tried to battle it alone
But life kept throwing punches right after my dome
Know that you feel there's no coming back
No light shining through your soul
Everything is black
But death's not the answer
Life's not in your hands
Creator knows what's good
Keep on fighting, change is near
Heavy foot on me
Gotta learn to slow it down
Intentional about my growth
Yeah, time to crackdown
And listen to angels on earth
For all that it's worth
Spitting real shit
But I gotta learn to listen first
Said fuck the medicine then I was down bad
Chemical imbalance, that's what all the books said
Had to put the blunt down, to think a little clearer
Made a game plan to make everything better
Gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up
Trials and tribulations never gonna let up
Life is on the line, running out of time
Lord God, please promise we'll be fine
How the person to the right be strugglin
Empathy, the shoes of another
Feeling all the pain and the suffering of a brother
19 when I got the diagnosis
Storm cloud pouring down powerful emotions
Finally, an answer, for why all the despair
