I come to you man-to-man
I'm real about what I preach they just don't understand
I'm here to help you through your mental illness they using your pain to stack bands
I know what it's like to be part of the dead and the damned
And I'm don't mean to sound cliché with all this shit
But I know you just want to believe and be the kid that finally fits in
I was in your shoes the whole time I was in school
Just wanted to be popular and be cool
But I knew I had these demons coming up quickly behind
Went to the doctor told me i had a lot wrong with my mind
My chemicals imbalance probably never be right
So I just want to say that if I can still achieve I know you can tonight
I want you to put down the pills untie the rope and lay down the knife
My message is to uplift and show you a brighter side to life
I know you all got confidence and honor so you can be strong as a knight
I remember looking up on August night
Hoping that God would take your boy August from this life
I begged for death suicide attempt so many times I tried
Hanging OD wrist shit I tried all the shit
I guess the universe didn't listen
Or for some strange reason I'm still here on a mission
I just want to inspire and showcase
That even if your mental state is out of place you can still be a fighter
For every victims fall into depression throw up a lighter
They want to chastise us for shit we can't control
I don't say secret revenge I say seek understand yo
