Tell me something hold me back
I’m on the road to a relapse
They all say I need rehab, but I’m stubborn
Malaika why you so damn mad
But I have every right to that
I faced all my fears just to meet ya’ll here. To learn something
What do you prescribe
For pain
Now that she’s gone
What do you recommend
To laugh? and to stay strong? To move on
Feels like I’m drowning
In a bottle full of happy pills and she is on the other side laughing at me
And how hard I bleed
This is the last thing I need
Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it
I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it
Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it
I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it
Eyes can you check my eyes cause I was blind to the shit
Can you check my pulse- it skipped a beat from the stress
Can you check my legs, they may be broken
When you left me they aint move I was so stunned
Skin can check my skin cause I have bruises
Can you check my hands cause I’ve been shaking
Heart can you check my heart
Think that it’s still pumping I’m alive and that means something but its numb
What do you prescribe
For pain
Now that she’s gone
What do you recommend
To laugh? and to stay strong? To move on
Feels like I’m drowning
In a bottle full of happy pills and she is on the other side laughing at me
And how hard I bleed
This is the last thing I need
Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it
I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it
Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it
I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it
Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah
Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah
Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah

Salt it hurts my eyes that’s why I cry when I cry
The little things hurt the most like when they ask me why
Why you left
Why you gone, got a new girl your steady loving strong
Ima love you till the day she don’t
And I hate you cause you leave
And you never try to talk to me
I miss the way you used to be
Just you and me
Gone now now
Gone now now
Gone now now
Gone now
Gone now now. Oh
Now you told me to be patient
Told me to be kind
I tried to repay you
But your love was so defined
Now im breaking at the bridges
Between the end of the lines
If I couldn’t see this coming does it make me blind.
And I always argue with myself
Cause we don’t want nobody else
Which doesn’t make my sense that your my headache
Which doesn’t make my sense cause your my heartbreak
But your Gone now now
Gone now now
Gone now now
Gone now
Gone now now. Oh
Bridge:
Gone a gone away (x15)
I always argue with myself
Cause we don’t want nobody else
And I miss you being my headache
And I want you to be my heartbreak
Gone now.

Dreamin'

Feel so lost bout where I am
Some days think I need a friend
Want a lover no pretend
But some things seem impossible for me right now, impossible
Me and lonely get along
Me and time we really don’t
Give me (give me) something (something) I know
Give me (give me) Something (something) I can control
When the vultures hawk out my name (hawk my name)
And the streets start to smell my pain (smell my pain)
Been in this city, too long I don’t belong here
Been in this city too long, tryna stay strong here
I lost my mind with a
Pretty lil smile
And some black lipstick they don’t mess with me - WILD
I lost my mind
With a pretty lil face
Still a boss ass bitch
With A skimp lil waist i
Know I’m not the only one dreamer here
I can’t be the only one?
So The sky has never been the only limit
(Dreamin)
Call me call me crazy I’m so off
I believe in galaxies
Killeen has never been my only limit.
(Dreamin)
Call me crazy Im so gone. I believe in galaxies I’m off
I’m so gone
ay
I’m off
so gone
so gone
so gone

I’ve seen fire conquer water, there’s an acid in my blood.
Couldn’t see the moving target
Can’t believe it’s you it’s us
Darling, you make me happy
Yes Yes
And we fell so madly
Madly in love
Don’t need money cause it’s poison
While we were broke we were so rich
I hate that we had to struggle
That it tore our relationship
But you once made me happy
Yes Yes
Then we fell so madly madly madly
Madly in love
Now I hate love
I hate love
I hate love
I hate it
That feeling that your broken and you can’t fix it.
On this road and I know where it leads to
Hate was born from love
And all them lies that you gun tell
Trigger trigger once ima give you hell
Seems the older I get I get stupid I hate love
I Hate love
And all we gun become
We used to think as one
Now we don’t even speak
And you stay mad at me
You promised to miss me if we split
I love you but you know things happen
Guess who remembered when you didn’t
You lie to kill my pain
The truth it kills my days
I hate love yeah

Ya ya, ya ya
Ya ya, ya ya
Eh. I don't wanna be alive
I'm done with the sorrow I'm hollow inside
low key I'm looking for a God right now wouldn't no one want this as their child
Slits on my wrist and I'm broken
These pills got me spinning of focus
I was the life of the party
I was the life of the party I came here alone, and I cried
my Mental it wants to die - my body's sick of this fight
My body it wants to die- my mental sick of this fight
I'm so ashamed of what I've been thru don’t you get close and make me tell you
I've had to live a whole life this whole facade is my pride
I've had to live a whole lie
You knew the real me
And I'm the end
You used the shit against me tell me yeah
You knew the real me
And in the end
You used the shit against me
I don't wanna die because you left me
bitch you knew I was mental and you test me
round of applause where's my support when ya mad
told me to slit my other wrist when I'm sad
and I'm all fucked up cuz I believed in you
fell victim to the words and the shit you do
I can see the bullshit like a visual
I hurt time hurt like a ritual
Girl you Shit on my love I pity the fool
You can love that girl you embarrassing
My best fucking friend and you turned into my enemy
Not even friends you can go on be my enemy
I had a bitch who lied to me she says that she knew loyalty
You lied to me said that you knew loyalty.
You knew the real me
And in the end you used the shit against me tell me yeah
You knew the real me
And in the end you used the shit against me – I don’t wanna die
Remember that love I gave you?
Well put that shit back in the bag.
I was seeing everything but fucking red flags
You was my whole everything but damn forget that
Deaf ears and two-sided lies,
Ma said that I’m gone be fine
You might have killed me – love might have killed me
But I still pray for your soul every night - soul every night
You knew the real me
And in the end, you used the shit against me tell me yeah
You knew the real me
And in the end, you used the shit against me - I don’t wanna die
Got me out of my mind yeah
Sick of wasting my time yeah
Got me out of my mind yeah
Sick of wasting my time yeah
Got me out of my mind yeah
Sick of wasting my time yeah

05:11
|

Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah.
Here comes the pain, comes the pain ill be just fine.
You’re my daily broken heart, broken heart and a clear mind.
You want my secrets and my fears
but you’ll never see my tears,
cause my pride won’t let me down you won’t see me frown
when I’m with you.
I’m just with you.
Here comes the pain comes the pain I’ll be just fine.
You must love my hurt; these games must build your pride.
You want my body next to yours, raw and insecure and I’ll never understand you take what you can
When I’m with you, I’m just with you.
Cuz you’ve got this hold on me you daily dose of me- I spend my days in you.
I pay the cost my mind is lost don’t matter what you do
A play for your hearts a reach for the stars,
can’t take that fall can’t stand to lose
but when I’m with you- I’m just with you.
Cause you make me feel.
Feel. Feel. feel.
You make me feel. Feel. Feel.
You make me feel – ay
You make me feel, feel, feel.
Feel.
Here comes the pain comes the pain I’ll be just fine
You took my heart and left me behind
I miss the times that we shared back when I thought you cared
and Ill never understand you use what you can
When im with you
I’m just with you.
Cuz you’ve got this hold on me you daily dose of me I spend my days in you
I pay the cost; my mind is lost don’t matter what you do
A play for your hearts a reach for the stars-can’t take that fall can’t stand to lose
but when I’m with you, I’m just with you.
Cuz you’ve got this hold on me you daily dose of me I spend my life in you
I’ll pay the cost; my mind is lost. Don’t matter what you do
A play for your hearts a reach for the stars- can’t take that fall can’t stand to lose
but when I’m with you, I’m just with you.
Cuz you make me feel.
Feel. Feel. Feel. Feel. Feel. Feel. Feel. Feel.

There's Hope
03:11
|

Think I might make it
These steps that I’m taking
Might eventually make me strong
I might finally write songs
Think if I smiled I might actually be happy
Think that they’ll notice, they see right thru me
I’m so alone
Here comes the paranoia
They all say they care
They all say they care I swear they don’t (swear they don’t don’t)
Here comes the paranoia
There’s hope
For every seed that died
There’s hope
For every tear you cried
There’s hope
For emptiness inside
Happiness a day away- your just stuck on rewind , there’s hope
Gotta be hope in this cruel world
Theres gotta be hope for these small girls
Gotta be hope, gotta be hope.
Somewhere out there. mmmm
Stay still.
Wait for your bruises to heal before you move again.
Realize that love and a lover don’t mean a friend
Un-bottle your feelings and feel them instead
Bottle the rain then learn to drink it.
Taking that pain like two shots to the head
It’s in Refusing to stay victim
Beginning to fight systems
Break generational curses
Realize your family’s hurting
Knowing there’s power in words and you can save yourself.
Put a Comma when you ended it , need to pace yourself
There’s hope
For every seed that died
There’s hope
For every tear you cry
There’s hope
For emptiness inside
Happiness a day away your just stuck on rewind , there’s hope.
