lyrics

Yo
I’m sitting in this Uber
Wondering if I should call her
Thinking I might be able to go back and solve our problems
But if I’m being honest
Sickness I got a lot of
With this I try to fix it
But missing is how I’ve wound up
Here is my final offer
The nail in the coffin
I’m tryna make a name for myself but not for profit
So maybe I could help somebody else with their darkness
But if you can’t find the light yourself then what are ya
Maybe I’m fucking nothing
Maybe I’m fucking useless
Maybe I should just end it to stop of all the confusion
Maybe I been abusive
Maybe I am a user
That or I’m just a loser
Who doesn’t know how to do this
I escape to my music
Trying to find influence
Tryna not be influenced by substances that’s elusive
Cause if health is wealth then I’m spiritually broken
I try say how I feel but the words are unspoken

I hope that someone will be there for me
Cause g I still can’t afford therapy
Is somebody out there? Are they hearing me?
If somebody talk you let em speak
So keep your head up high
Rise up
Never fear this life
Rise up
Aye keep your head up
Rise up
Never fear them
Rise up

I told the Uber to stop here
I live truth I don’t dare
Try get by with no care
I get lots of ideas
Fuck executing
My thoughts can end ya career
My thoughts can turn a nightmare to reality
My thoughts have power and give me this fear
My thoughts are deadly might cause a fatality
My thoughts make me wish I was never here
All of my thoughts got a mind of they own
They do what they want and they know I’m alone
They fuck with my friends and they fuck with my family
If it’s just me they terrorise my home
Been running away from my thoughts for a minute
I did some deals with em and thought we was finished
Talk to my therapist I hope they hearing this
But I been thinking of ending it cause

When those five free sessions end
That’s the moment that I lose all my friends
That’s the moment I start over again
I can’t afford this I cannot pretend
This system we live in is fucked up
The help that they give us is barely the minimum
I know some got it worse
My family cursed by these sicknesses that we been living with
Mum might go on work and income
Life’s fucked I pray that we get some
Blessings coming in the form of
A monetary currency so we can perform this
Game that doesn’t really exist
Putting worth on our lives that's fucking meaningless
I don’t know if I can take it
But I gotta make it
So we can get better
Together

I hope that somebody will be there for me
Cause g I still can’t afford therapy
Is somebody out there? Are they hearing me?
If somebody talk you let em speak
So keep your head up high
Rise up
Never fear this life
Rise up
Aye keep your head up
Rise up
Never fear them
Rise up
