suicide is lingering

(Verse 1)

Yo, suicide is lingering, thoughts in the back,

I know the pain, ain't no need for the act.

I been through hell, came back like a champ,

Darkness in my mind, feel like a goddamn tramp.

Momma ghosted me, left me in the rain,

Dad sent me packing, yeah, locked me in chains.

Sister cut me off, can't even see my niece,

Wrestlin’ with the demons, man, I’m just tryin’ to feast.

 

(Chorus)

But I know better, I know how you feel,

These thoughts might cut, but we gotta heal.

I’m ballin’ through the struggle, livin’ life real,

Suicide is lingering, but we break that seal.

 

(Verse 2)

Feelin' like a burden, like a weight on the chest,

Plans to end it all, but fuck that, no rest.

Cried myself to sleep, felt the knife in my soul,

Lost in the dark, but now I'm takin’ control.

Hurtin' for ya bitches, wish I could reach through,

Broke with the pain, but I know what to do.

I’ll scream it loud, let the world hear my story,

From bitter to better, now I’m chasin' the glory.

 

(Chorus)

But I know better, I know how you feel,

These thoughts might cut, but we gotta heal.

I’m ballin’ through the struggle, livin’ life real,

Suicide is lingering, but we break that seal.

 

(Bridge)

Angry at the world, but I’m ready to rise,

No more tearin’ down, I’m buildin' the skies.

Flexin’ on the shadows, yeah, I’m claimin’ my space,

Bitch, I’m a survivor, got a whole lotta grace.

 

(Verse 3)

Every scar's a story, every tear’s a lesson,

I was lost in the dark, but now I’m confessin’.

Yo, it’s hard to ask for help, feel like a thug,

But I know we together, man, we all got love.

When you’re feelin’ lonely, when it’s hard to breathe,

Just remember I’m here, gotta fight and believe.

So hold on tight, don’t let go of that dream,

We gon’ rise like phoenix, let’s burst at the seams.

 

(Chorus)

But I know better, I know how you feel,

These thoughts might cut, but we gotta heal.

I’m ballin’ through the struggle, livin’ life real,

Suicide is lingering, but we break that seal.

 

(Outro)

So if you feel it comin’, just hold on tight,

We’re in this together, we gon’ win this fight.

Suicide is lingering, but we know better,

Keep your head up high, let’s break that fetter.

Yeah, I know better, I'm here for you,

Together we can rise, let’s break on through.
