This is for the people that thought they didn't have any other choice
I want you to understand what i'm about to say, listen to my voice
I know how you feel, it's like your trapped
Been tryna adapt
Been tryna get away from your own mind
Thinking you aint got enough **** time
I know you been hearing that same old line
"It'll get better soon, so you don't whine"
I know how it be
I been down that road, you see
I used to cry myself to sleep at night, don't believe me
Fine.
Think about it, i'm writing this not only for myself but for the other people that need help
I'm coming from a hurt place to
Now look at my face when I tell you
You don't have to be afraid anymore
You don't need to keep those blades in that drawer
I've been where your at before
I've been to the point were I couldn't take my own life cuz I swore
They ain't wanna have to see my body dangling as they look up at me from the floor
Take it back a few years
It was all clear in 2015
December 26, to the date
It was gettin' late
I was layin' next to momma as she fell asleep on the bed
He was sitting on the floor
Sure had some nasty thoughts in his head
And I had some thoughts in mine too
About this world, how it's so **** cruel
Growing up I was moving from house to house
Momma and daddy were always on the move
I ain't ever had a stable life
Now look in my eyes
Think about it, i'm writing this not only for myself but for the other people that need help
I'm coming from a hurt place to
Now look at my face when I tell you
You don't have to be afraid anymore
You don't need to keep those blades in that drawer
I've been where your at before
I've been to the point were I couldn't take my own life cuz ****,I swore
They ain't wanna have to see my body dangling as they look up at me from the floor

I have a dream
Like Martin Luther King
That everything that happened out in House Springs
Benefits me in some way, like i'll help someone someday
Until then let's see what time brings
Comment down below if you like it, cuz i'm not sure about it
