It's okay to feel, don't be afraid
I know that you're tired but wipe the tears from your face
They were never there when you needed love
You were just a child, all you wanted was a hug
Look back on the videotape, that was you laughing
That was you smiling, that was you there
You should be proud that you're alive, keep trying
I think in time you'll find the answer to your prayers
Stay
Even if only for the night
Stay
Don't give up hope, you still have fight
In the quiet
I know you wanna die
But life goes on
So hold on
I remember back when I was like 15
Almost drowned myself like Whitney
I had ropes around my throat before y'all ever had chokers
My first girlfriend said I reminded her of Joker
Psycho, I came close too many times
I'd be dead or in a cell if I didn't have rhymes
If I didn't have time to find myself and God
On the path to death that I was on
But how do you cope with childhood trauma?
Falsely accused and everyone was wrong
How do you live not speaking to your mama?
How do you learn to love when you're tired of being strong?
I don't wanna preach but it worked for me
I made it out alive when they murdered me
When she walked away, almost murdered me
But I held on to hope with an urgency
Stay
Even if only for the night
Stay
Don't give up hope, you still have fight
In the quiet
I know you wanna die
But life goes on
So hold on
