Dear Life

[Intro] Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yo Yeah [Verse] All of the sauce just a Band-Aid Missin' the notes that I can play Singin' the words that I can't say All of this shit is so damn gray What do I do when the plan fade?

Show me some damn faith And trust me with who you are It ain't just me, you could be a star And this shit ain't lovely, I'm truly scarred Fame couldn't deluxe me, I'm just newly flawed, yeah What good's bein' right if the left hand weak?

Every time my dues paid, they got a new rate for me It's like this bug goin' 'round and [Chorus] I'm just tryna hold on for dear life I've been fightin' so long it feel like I've been writin' my song, my real life Dear life, dear life If you readin' this, hope it ain't— I'm just tryna hold on for dear life I've been fightin' so long it feel like I've been writin' my song, my real life Dear life, dear life If you readin' this—
