| Just listened to the songs with everybody
|
| Group was all here, and uhh… I don’t know, man
|
| Really don’t know this direction
|
| Why don’t you give me a call back and we can all talk about it?
|
| I hate to say it but it kills me
|
| Gives me more reason to lose sleep
|
| Every mess I’ve made
|
| And if I tell you that I’m hurting
|
| Would you hold me 'til it all ends?
|
| Help me count my blessings, baby
|
| Yeah, missed calls and my family funerals
|
| While suits and jackets judge my new songs, say they ain’t suitable, ha
|
| As if they know the type of music that pops
|
| 'Cause most these label artists need marketing dollars or flop
|
| That’s the difference between us, I did this all on my own
|
| Don’t need a room full of writers, I put my pain in these songs
|
| While they flashing their checks, rapping about money, sex, I’m in awe
|
| No wonder kids are depressed, this game affecting us all
|
| It’s funny everyone’s upset when you speaking the truth
|
| But I won’t stop spilling my guts inside of this booth
|
| 'Cause to us this is more than just some lyrics
|
| This reality, the struggles every single day we live with, like
|
| I hate to say it but it kills me
|
| Gives me more reason to lose sleep
|
| Every mess I’ve made
|
| And if I tell you that I’m hurting
|
| Would you hold me 'til it all ends? |
| (Yeah)
|
| Help me count my blessings, baby
|
| Lately, I’ve been drowning in stress
|
| I spend all of my time inside just playing beats on my desk
|
| Hate saying these next words, but I’ve been feeling depressed
|
| Have trouble dealing with some issues bottled up in my chest
|
| I guess pouring myself in music’s the only way I cope
|
| So much more than these clever songs y’all think are dope
|
| I really lived every fucking line that I ever wrote
|
| And chose to share the story so I could inspire hope
|
| Now it bothers me hearing all of this mainstream
|
| Cookiecutter, it’s been the same since my late teens
|
| 'Cause to us this is more than just some lyrics
|
| This reality, the struggles every single day we live with, fuck!
|
| I hate to say it but it kills me
|
| Gives me more reason to lose sleep
|
| Every mess I’ve made
|
| And if I tell you that I’m hurting
|
| Would you hold me 'til it all ends?
|
| Help me count my blessings, baby |
