Help Me Off My Knees (Intro)

(2020 Vibes, we done came a long away)
(Remember Bashi I done told you)
(Me and hatred, we are not alike)
(Aye, yo G, I think this might be the one actually)

Remember Bashi, I done told you it would be like this
I never, ever, actually thought that it would be like this
Whoever doubted me will show up and say "What I miss?"
Didn't need your guidance through these years, you can call me Chris

Me and hatred, we are not alike, yeah yeah
But me and passion, we a lot alike, yeah yeah
I found myself again, I'll do this right, yeah yeah
The truth is that I'm never satisfied, yeah yeah

I told you nik that I would make it but you doubted me
That was back in '17, I knew undoubtedly, uh
I come from a city where 90 percent of kids in poverty
Life is just a story book and music is the glossary
Honestly, we gone see
But everything I've done is so I become who I wanna be
No regrets, live life to the fullest, my philosophy
I'd rather take the goodness any day over the quantity
They focused on the future not the current state of humanity
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

As I sit back and observe, I see people that deserve
So much more than what they got
I wanna rip out all my nerves
I gotta maintain by brain, a hundred bands, I will obtain, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Blue hundreds)

I got one life to get this done, for me it's do or die
Can't see myself doing nothin' else, it's really do or die
I swear to god there ain't no tellin how I feel inside
I just turned 16 a week ago, so now the pressure high

Remember Bashi, I done told you it would be like this
I never, ever, actually thought that it would be like this
Whoever doubted me will show up and say "What I miss?"
Didn't need your guidance through these years, you can call me Chris

Me and hatred, we are not alike, yeah yeah
But me and passion, we a lot alike, yeah yeah
I found myself again, I'll do this right, yeah yeah
The truth is that I'm never satisfied, yeah yeah

If pain is all I've known, then how will I survive in heaven?
Wish I knew how to handle situations that I've been in
"Sol, you need to grow up, you act like yo' ass 11"
I'm tired of this shit, I wish my age was back to 7

I'm finna go so deep, I want my words to meet your soul
Love songs for everybody, shoutout Durkio
Every time I see a clock, I fear my time is running low
How badly does it hurt?, they ask, I feel it in my core

How is that for an honest answer?
They say to "speak your mind" but when I do, I regret it after (Endale)

Remember back when we was kids?
Remember back when we was lost?
I was feelin' so depressed, especially when I got double crossed, yeah (By who?)
By the people that meant so much to me
I guess I did not mean to 'em the way they meant to me
My pride and the credit they 'gon try to take from me
If opportunity come up, you know they not 'gon stay for me
Quit talking 'bout the sacrifices that you never made for me
A lotta kids on the come up but they
don't compare to me
They tell me, they know what it's like but they do not relate to me
I told my past to tell my doubters, please don't ever mention me
When I blow, I'll walk the streets and give my tickets out for free
To the people that don't got what I got
Can't you see that this passion isn't common?
Who 'gon donate when I bleed?
Not literally but speaking metaphorically
You gon record me on the ground, instead of helpin' me off my knees
