Give It Time

I hate this beat, cuz it reminds me of the night you took the pills

Now you're taking risks that might take your life & it's like, now i feel

So selfish for the drug abuse & all the death wishes

Didn't even get to spend the day with you on Christmas

But hey, that's life. & people get separated-

Not intentionally, but my family's torn apart & i hate it

Life is so sacred. Love you like the sky loves the stars, you can make it!

Take this world, you can hold it in your palms

Can't be with you everyday so i'mma say it in a song

I love you & i wish that i could take your pain away

I think about you every night, i think about you every day

& i don't call cuz it hurts & that's how i deal with problems-

Act like they don't exist & the universe will solve em

& that's why i understand exactly what you're going through

I know you cut hella deep, but to sleep with the truths

That are hard to accept only make you that stronger!

Living in denial ain't an option any longer

Life is so amazing, hoping one day you can see it

Yo, i used to have your same mind state & now i'm heated

That the world is so cold that it turns our hearts to ice

& i know i'm not the best at giving out advice

But i gotta let you know how i'm feeling cuz i care

& if you left before me, the pain i couldn't bare

Cuz you - one of the people i love most on this planet

& you - one of the people that i've been taking for granted

It's sad & i'm sorry. This was a wake up call

Not only for yourself but for the rest of us all

& i ain't gonna lie, i'm scared, you got me worried

Life passes so fast, why we living in a hurry

For vision that's blurry & temporary numbness?

It's no wonder we can't grasp reality. It's fun when

The problems go away & the depression's deterred

But then you coming down feeling, feeling... what's the word?

Worthless. Like you're on the Earth with no purpose

Like you really don't deserve this. Hold up, let me reword this...

When i'm sober, & it's over & i'm older, god damn it, i feel like dying

But, under no stress, with the coke breath, & the cold sweats

Sometimes i still feel like dying

You gotta live life to find your purpose

You gotta work hard & when it comes, you gon be like, "i deserve this! "

So keep your head high, this too shall pass

& in the morning when you get up into school & class

Learn everything you can & utilize the knowledge

So fucken proud of you that you going to college

You deserve the best so work & you'll receive it

Anything imaginable is possible, believe it!

So keep your head up cuz nobody's gonna do it for you

Your family, we love you, accept you, adore you

Always in my thoughts, in my heart, on my mind

Promise everything's gonna get better, you just gotta give it time...
