PICK ME UP

Uh
Yea

I been down bad on my quest
To be the next to get
The chance to stand and say I'm the best at this
But when I flex my shit

I can't forget about the sacrifice
Words from my grannies I can hear em
From the after life
Half the time I spent
Been deprived in love
I confide in the music, some confide in drugs

I can't knock it
I know everybody need an escape
To my homies in that space
Hope you find a better way
I can say

That shit is easy
But to me that's kinda selfish
Niggas love to judge
But never know what niggas delt with
Used to be oblivious to know what mental health is
But boy that shit changed in them moments I had felt it

It's crazy
You know we wasn't taught about it
It's probably cause our parents, parents didn't talk about it
Or even thought about it
I wish we had them conversations
But damn, look how far we all done got without it

That's the strength that we carry
In them black roots
Look how we covered up our scars
With these tattoos
I mean it's taboo
How they tried to knock us down
But we adjust ourselves to doing
What we had too

This for them strong ones
That carry everybody burdens
And only time you break down
Is behind the curtains
Only smiles in person
Working hard to hide the pain
Cause the ones you do it for
Can never see you hurting

See I can feel it
And I promise I been through it all
Who do you call
When your back is up against the wall
That's the message to my people
Our strength ain't gotta be equal
Just promise to pick me up when I fall
I said

Pick me up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
Up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
I fall

Pick me up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
Up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
I fall

Lord
Thank you for picking me up
When I was falling down
Kuz
I can't help myself
Or get my feet back on solid ground
Tho, you chose me
I dont feel like I'm worthy, yeah
I need you to hold me
Lord and please show me your way
Out
Of this trap that the devil had set for me
But now I'm drowning
Wow I'm dumbfounded and really was counting on your helping hand
So check on ya strong friends
And don't you dare leave 'em lonely, no
Kuz 9 times out of 10
We probably saying we Good and we lying

Pick me up
Pick me up
Pick me up
Pick me up
Yea

Pick me up
Pick me up
Pick me up
Pick me up

Pick me up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
Up when I fall
Pick me up when I fall
I fall
