[Intro]
And he never knows but bit by bit by bit
The man who changes
And he becomes a more rounded human being
[Verse 1]
I’m tryna find peace in every line between my rhymes and beats
Between my god and momma, I’m just tryna honor each
I love my maker but I ain’t in a rush to meet him
I flirt with death cause life a bitch but I ain’t tryna leave her
My dreams are feelin’ outta reach
And I been chasin ‘em so long I’m losin’ sleep
Can I keep the pace or should I wake up, or should I stay up?
You know life, it gots it’s ups and down like elevators
But like escaltors my flow is movin’ people
Being watched by angels listening to the evils
Catch me, I’m slippin’, fallin’, please
I’m hearing voices callin’ me
I need this cloud to follow someone else
I ain’t been feelin’ like myself I think I need to find some kind of help
Maybe I’m tripping guess I’m losin my mind
I’m still here but disappearin’ right before my very eyes
[Hook: Add-2 & Nida Nasheeda]
Losin’ me, losin’ me
Need you cause I’m losin’ me
Losin’ me, please don’t go no
Please don’t leave, please don’t leave
[Verse 2]
Dear momma, no don’t smile the way I used to
That’s the way of the world and what it do to you
I got the weight of the world still on my small shoulders
You watch that chip become a boulder watch my heart get colder
But somewhere inside that boy who never liked to see you leavin’ us for work
Waitin’ on the bus, transfers in your purse
Standin’ in the rain, wantin’ better for us
Funny how you feel my pain without it being discussed
I told you how I had a show and how the crowd had they hands up
You asked if I been eatin’ knowin’ no is still the answer
That’s that drive momma, I know it drive you insane
I’m still alive momma, I hate to worry your brain
The fans’ll tell ya I’m puttin’ on a hell of a show
But you scared you gon’ find me passed out on the floor again
Sititn’ by my bed in the E.R
Hopin’ I won’t be gone
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Lord I need you cause the devil got his hands on me
I’m tryna understand your plan for me, but
Feel like my hourglass is runnin’ out of sand on me
But I just need a chance, just one chance
To see myself for everything I am and everything I’m tryna be
But I’m fightin’ with myself tryna save myself from me
Nothing’s promised in this life but death is guaranteed
And it follows like a shadow tryna watch the life I lead
I know that Webster’s couldn’t tell you what’s the meanin’ of life
That you only scared to die when you ain’t livin’ it right
Well then I’m scared as hell cause Satan’s waitin’
I hate to get to heaven’s gate and they say I ain’t make it
So if it’s gonna rain then let it rain then
All I ask is that you make this clear a changed man
If you hafta break me down just to put me back together
Then let me lose me so I can find somethin’ better
And he never knows but bit by bit by bit
The man who changes
And he becomes a more rounded human being
