I will never forget all the times I sat down
I will never forget all the tears I cried out
And I will never forget all the wounds I sealed up
Uh
I been down too long
I been down too long
I'm still haunted by the days that I was happy
I remember all the smiles of the world around me, uh
Ever since it started, everything has changed
I'm a hopeless son
Don't even have a name
Hope I get knocked off the board, 'cause this just all a game
All I think is what's life for if I'm just full of shame?
Why y'all tell me that you got my back and we friends, but you all turn your backs on me?
I'd rather get with people that's some outsiders and fly higher with my God that I know got some armies, uh
'Cause I been down too long
I been down too long
I'm still haunted by the times that we had connections
Now I'm cut off from your beauty and I'm gone forever
I can't stop
No, I can't stop
I can't stop
God, I can't stop
I can't stop doin' what I know is wrong
I can't stop thinkin' I'll always be lost
I can't stop hearin' my mind say be gone
I can't stop with addictions, they ain't fell off
I say stop to the ones that make me soft
'Cause this my time to change
Time to take it all
I believe that anybody can change
It's just all about your willingness to let your heart be changed
I'm not free yet, but I will be one day
Yeah
I kept my mouth zipped closed when I had to say somethin
I kept myself in my prayers, I was the only one broken
If I could tell you all the times I cried
Maybe you'd be thankful your struggles were not like mine
But I know I've blessed by God for this
I've been blessed with lots of friends for this
I feel I'm better now
Than when I was when I was makin' lists of the reasons that I should maybe not live, yeah
All it was was just a hit or miss
Would I be free or would I still live for sins?
Would I still feed my vices?
Or would I strive to be the man I know that Jesus Christ is
Or would I die alone with no one knowin' where my life went
Overdosin' postin' up to break a heart for money
Over boastin' with a prideful host to make it bloody
It's betrayal everyone chooses what they want your life to be
And they'll tug on your soul for you to not get what they know you need
You know that life is gonna put you down
All you gotta know is you a rockstar, get up off the ground
It ain't failure when you know you're workin
And it ain't bein' dumb or losin' when you know you're learning, uh
Took me years just to find what my purpose is
And now I know it's to tell people they're what precious is
If you hear them say it's hard, homie take the risk
Ain't a make or break, 'cause what you make is gonna be sick, woo
I know my words might be a lot to process
But I promise Imma be okay, that ain't no nonsense
Might have a storm right now, but that's okay 'cause
I see hope that's rising up, the sun is shining next
I've always dreamt about a life with no stress
'Cause lately I feel to them that I will always be less
And daily I'm on the mic trying to climb to success
And want what's next, not perplexed about the fact that I'm blessed
But I'll say truthfully don't let your flaws define you
I did it to myself and lost my joy and lost my mind too
So sad I let the little things inside my head make my moves
Just 'cause I tricked myself to think that no one feels how I do
If you're someone that feels how I do, you're not alone
If you're someone that's feeling troubled, ain't on your own
You feel consumed by all your struggles?
Want you to know
You may believe your demons still control you, but they don't
I'm in your shoes right now let's walk together
Don't matter if it's blue sky or rain, we change the weather
So many things we have in life that can make us better
That's why I say the motto's true
No one cries forever
And we don't have to live by hate when we're surrounded by love
And we don't have to debate so we can be number one
Live life with passion and forgiveness from the Lord up above
And know there's not a single struggle that you can't overcome, nah
