I woke up and my eyes were sore (yeah)
I gave you every last tear that I had
I don't think I can cry no more (no)
All of this red on my eyes looking like I never gotten high before (huh?)
This is not regular love, this shit is a mile more (for real)
I think this is God's way of reminding me I need to smile more (yeah)
I played you my song, and we sobbed (huh?), this music beyond just a job (yeah)
This music beyond gettin' up on my YouTube and dissin' some pom for applause (for real)
I got a responsibility that's bigger than bullshittin' all for the mob (true)
I'm tryna ball while I'm here so they don't have to bawl when I'm gone
Yeah, life changed in a year, changed in a week, changed in a second (second)
Sang when they didn't hear, they didn’t speak, they didn't question (they did not!)
Made my music in fear, made it, and re-framed my perspective
I hope that it's clear, now that you’re here, came to my rescue
Losing time, let me let you know before I lose my mind, yeah
These days, something must be on my side
If I lose, at least I’ll tell 'em that I tried, yeah (tried, tried, tried, tried)
That I tried
Yeah, okay
They say, great things take time
I think time takes great things away, though
Lost all of my idols that had fallen like an angel
Who knows if they in the clouds with a halo?
Who knows? (Who knows?)
I look up to names for help (yeah)
But how can our idols save us (no)
If they can’t even save themselves? (Facts)
I gotta behave myself (yeah)
Gotta remember my start, no, I will not betray myself
I been afraid to tell
So alone, so, I just braced myself
I’ve wanted love since the age of twelve
Even before I could lace myself
That’s why when I know I lose all that I love
That it’s easy to hate myself
It’s my birthday! But I won’t celebrate myself (huh?)
'Cause time is gonna take myself (yeah)
I'm on my pro clubs shit, I create myself
But I'm never gonna rate myself
Picture-perfect, is it workin'?
Vision blurrin', missin' verses, life really is a burden
Seein' my face on every sign; I'm a missin' person
Whatever he gets, the kid deserves it
Yeah
I woke up, and my eyes were sore
I gave you every last tear that I had
I don't think I can cry no more (no)
All of this red on my eyes looking like I never gotten high before (for real)
This is not regular love, this shit is a mile more (for real)
I think this is God's way of reminding me I need to smile more (yeah)
Losing time, let me let you know before I lose my mind, yeah
These days, something must be on my side
If I lose, at least I’ll tell 'em that I tried, yeah
That I tried
Hahaha, it's so bad, I can't
You’re nothing but a grain of sand in my hourglass
But I can spot you from a mile away, yeah
I'm searchin' for you
