Make it all better
Make it all better
Make it all better
Make it all better
It's not easy to open up and discuss my feelings
Because I been taught to keep 'em in and try not to feel them
I'm tired of holdin' in my cries I cannot conceal it
Try not to feel it
I try to kill it
Why am I different?
Why do I feel this?
Why does it feel like I'm alone and that no one listens?
And so I keep it all to myself
I really need it but I don't know how to ask for help
Feel better by myself
But I hate bein' alone
And I can't pick up the phone
'Cause there's too much goin' on
In my head and in the world
Tryna save everyone else
When I can't even save myself
I'm tryna focus on my health
But it's the quickest thing that fell
I can't eat
Don't wanna sleep
'Cause if I do then I'll forget
All these feelings just to feel 'em all again
I'm tired of bringin' those I love down with me
And thinkin' for them
It's in my head and I can't get out
What can I do?
What can I do?
To make it all better?
What can I do?
What can I do
Do
To make it all better?
What can I do?
What can I do?
To make it all better?
What can I do?
What can I do
Do
To make it all better?
What can I do?
I wanna look into your eyes until the sun fades away
And when I'm picturin' my life
You are the first that I see
It's like the vibe that you have brought me
Has been strong enough to stop me
From not loving me enough
Because of all that you have taught me
I'm still learnin' and I wanna change before I fade away
For the better 'cause if I don't
I'd be in this life forever
These letters keep givin' me purpose
Without them I'm nervous
So when I'm doin' what I don't love
All I'm doin' is hurtin'
Sometimes I reach a dead-end
But for the road I'm still searchin'
I see them turn their heads and stare
Observant to how they're lurkin'
I feel worse when no one's there
But not much change in a crowd
I try to keep my thoughts together
But they're makin' me drown
I wanna make my family proud with all that I do
I chose to follow my heart and try to share it with you
It's hard to take advice I give so I'm just learnin' to do
It's what I make it
So I'm doin' my best to make it through
What can I do?
What can I do?
To make it all better?
What can I do?
What can I do
Do
To make it all better?
What can I do?
What can I do?
To make it all better?
What can I do?
What can I do
Do
To make it all better?
What can I do?
Make it all better
Make it all better
Make it all better
Make it all better
Make it all better
Make it all better
Make it all better
Make it all better

Like We Used To

Wake me up when this is done
I just want it to be over
Don't wanna go on the run
Too much I gotta stay
Home for
Everything happens so fast
So I'm just tryna go
Slower
Enjoy it like its my last
Savor the moments
Left overs
They judge you 'cause they just don't know
Think they know you from over the phone
Like you just for your instagram post
But in person they could be a ghost
Doin' the most
Steppin' on toes
So watch 'em go
Out the window, I
I look around
See it's been a long while
People and things change
Like the seasons
Year round
Yeah
Like they used to
Like we used to
Like they used to
Like we used to
Gotta get movin' ahead
Too many things try to hold me
Only a matter of if
I let anything control me
I'm movin' while stayin' in place
My mind is a vehicle racin' around
Imagination take me places
Flyin' so high
I don't see the ground
I make mistakes
But they don't make me
Learn from experience
And heart breaking
I been so down
So I'm up lifting
Weight off my chest
But it's still heavy
Need a little help
L-O-V-E
Gotta over power
H-A-T-E
Mind over matter
'Cause a mind can think
So we gotta remember
To use our mind wisely
'Cause
I look around
See it's been a long while
People and things change
Like the seasons
Year round
Yeah
Like they used to
Like we used to
Like they used to
Like we used to
I look around
See it's been a long while
People and things change
Like the seasons
Year round
Yeah
Like they used to
Like we used to
Like they used to
Like we used to

Slow Down
02:10

Too fast yeah I gotta slow down
Too fast yeah I gotta slow down now
Too fast yeah I gotta slow down
Too fast yeah I gotta slow down now
Too
Too fast gotta slow down
Like the warm breeze and the big clouds
Life's quick but I'm fast too
Same clique it ain't that new
'Cause I been through the run around
With somebody who told me that they won't let me down
Why you gotta be a phony I can't trust you now
Told me you would be there for me but you're not around
Like I'm almost better lonely
So I'm missin' out
Feelin' better on my own I do without a doubt
When I learn to let it go
Lookin' deep into my soul
Find the reason that I'm breathin' every day I gotta know
Like I'm lookin' for my phone
And I got it in my hand
Sometimes I be lookin' for the answers that I have
And I try to see a better way when it gets bad
When it gets bad
When it gets bad bad
Too fast gotta slow down
Just gotta slow down
(Too fast yea I gotta slow down now)
Too fast gotta slow down
Just gotta slow down
Trust myself
Trust the process
Trust myself
Slow down
Like chill for a minute
Take a step back get my mind back in it
I don't know any limits
Till I catch myself
Like learnin' when it's okay to ask for help
'Cause I don't hate myself
But I act like I do
Still a lot of learnin' that I have to do
More gratitude and better attitude
I'm not mad at you I just overdo
And so I
Take a breath inhale
Then I look around thinkin' how I got here
Listen for the sound of the wind
Feel the air pick me up let me down
Pull me out of the doubt
Out of the ground when I climb
Pick me up when I cry
In the dark with a light
Feelin' sad with a smile
Look me in the eyes
Tell me how you really feel
Listen to my song
So you know that this is real
Too fast gotta slow down
Just gotta slow down
(Too fast yea I gotta slow down now)
Too fast gotta slow down
Just gotta slow down
Trust myself
Trust the process
Trust myself

Sacrifice
02:41
|

It's what I do when I make it
On my way to destinations
Wakin' up another day
To laugh at danger in the face
In the grass I see the snakes
On my prowl the snake my prey
Do me wrong you better pray
That you won't come across my way
And they go one side
2 sides
3 sides
Switchin' up on me
I thought you were there for me
In my one life
You left me like
I would always wait for you
But I'm movin' on without you
Take my pain and make a masterpiece
Put it on my mantelpiece
And when I'm finished with it
I make another to fill it
The color express my feelin'
The outcome is how I'm healin'
One step closer to my dreams I'm fulfillin'
In the scene I meet the villain
I just put my cape on
Mask off face shown
I'm ready to take on
Situations elevating
This patience run out of waiting
In this room
I go crazy
Like a straight jacket made me
It's that sacrifice
That sacrifice
When you gotta stay up late
And wake up early the next day
You make that sacrifice
That sacrifice
No more money for your food so you do what you gotta do
To make that sacrifice
I'm sacrificin' my energy
I sacrifice my time
I could be the sacrifice for the ones I love
Who deserve a better life
I look around and see that we need change
Not only currency form but humane
Politics picking apart
People from their apartments
And wallets go empty
Rich pockets keep growin'
The system fails to acknowledge its broken
There's too many wounds that need closin'
Too many doors that won't open
We need more room for the homeless
Children need places to focus
No need for doses
You need to notice
The influence unto the Youth is important
So bring on the Glory of Love
Bring on the Glory of Light
Bring on respect for the Women and stories of courage
And times that have tested your might
You didn't think you would make through the night but you did
Came a long way since a kid
Tell us the ways that you lived
Things that you did
What did you learn?
How did you feel?
This is the sacrifice to keep it real
Said this is the sacrifice to keep it real
'Cause
It's that sacrifice
That sacrifice
When you gotta stay up late
And wake up early the next day
You make that sacrifice
That sacrifice
No more money for your food so you do what you gotta do
To make that sacrifice
That sacrifice
On the floor no bed
And no pillow for your head
You make that sacrifice
That sacrifice
When you're pushing through the day
Even when you're not okay
You make that sacrifice

Time

Time is all I got
On the clock
Every tock
Is a shot
Make it rock
Never stop
On my watch
Time is all I got
On the clock
Every tock
Is a shot
Make it rock
Never stop
On my watch
And now I'm flyin'
As time is goin by I'm passin' by it
And now I've reached the sky I'm up and risin'
I'm faster than the time when we collidin'
Movin' like lightnin'
But I didn't call
It's gets to my head
All of the things that I shouldn't have said
I've been feelin' it all
But no I do not need a pill
I just really need to heal
Cannot cry over spills
Everything that has been dealt
Happened just like it should have
Feelin' good by myself
Takin' a while to progress
But up is up and I'm direct
Like a call that's collect
I'm just here for the check
And that's due with respect
Gotta get out of debt
Hit the beat up make it wreck
And then go fuck up a set
With my guys they my boys
My brothers the team
Family
This music is everything
I'd rather be everywhere long as I get to create
Musically levitate
'Cause this sound is divine
Bring it all back let it ride
Cool as the breeze from outside
Open mind like the sky
Takin' experience in
Soak it up and then I swim
I be flappin' my fins
Makin' my way up the stream
Currently odds are on me so I'm goin all in
I cannot wait for a chance
So I make it my own like a dance aye
Time is all I got
On the clock
Every tock
Is a shot
Make it rock
Never stop
On my watch
Time is all I got
On the clock
Every tock
Is a shot
Make it rock
Never stop
On my watch
And now I'm flyin'
As time is goin by I'm passin' by it
And now I've reached the sky I'm up and risin'
I'm faster than the time when we collidin'
Movin' like lightnin'
I gotta move quicker than pain in my veins
Energy changed when I saw you again
I'm not the same since I do not know when
All I know is that I'm making progress
Don't have time to look back
Not even a bit
But everything left I still will not forget
Like I pick up a scent
But that's all it is
A moment in passing with no mind to give
Like the loved and the lost
Or lost and in love
Or losin' the love that you gave to someone
How they took it away
This is how time goes to waste
But also how it can replace
A future mistake
When I learn what to take
And I know what's at stake
I won't give it away
No not that easily
Thinkin' before I speak
Like I know what to say
Ha
Smart about moves that I make
Yeah
Startin' to see through the fake
Yeah
Smoke and mirrors go away
Oh
Also I'm learnin' to say
No
If it ain't somethin' I'm paid for
Either way I'ma be thankful
I got this life and I'm stable
So I can't waste my-
Time is all I got
On the clock
Every tock
Is a shot
Make it rock
Never stop
On my watch
Time is all I got
On the clock
Every tock
Is a shot
Make it rock
Never stop
On my watch
And now I'm flyin'
As time is goin by I'm passin' by it
And now I've reached the sky I'm up and risin'
I'm faster than the time when we collidin'
Movin' like lightnin'
No time to waste 'cause this day won't stay
And I know that it's gonna go far
Pick up the pace and give thanks with Grace
Livin' like I won't get to tomorrow
No time to waste 'cause this day won't stay
And I know that it's gonna go far
Pick up the pace and give thanks with Grace
Livin' like I won't get to tomorrow

I don't belong here
Not in this place
And you have no idea
Of what I face
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I feel like that's all that I can do
That's all that I can do
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I even feel this at all?
I don't belong here
Not in this place
And you have no idea
Of what I face
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I feel like that's all that I can do
That's all that I can do
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I even feel this at all?
Tell me what to do
Tell me where to go
Since you're always tellin' me that I don't know
Who am I now?
Who was I then?
Who will I become if I can't be my friend?
Lookin' at myself
Can I be happy?
I don't wanna depend on anyone to help me
I could be healthy
If I just tried
Stuck to a routine and never switched sides
But instead I lie to myself
Like I lie on the ground
Feelin' like I can't do a damn thing now
Where do I go after being this down?
After running my mind through the ground?
I just wanna get out
I don't wanna be around
I don't wanna be found
I just wanna be down
'Cause when I get high
It hurts to fall
Even though I know I was made for more
(I was made for more)
I don't belong here
Not in this place (I don't belong here)
(I don't belong here)
And you have no idea
Of what I face (You have no idea)
And I try
And I try
And I try (Ooh)
And I try
And I feel like that's all that I can do (Ooh)
That's all that I can do
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I even feel this at all? (At all)
There's only so far I can go
There's only so much I can bend
'Til I feel like I get broken
And I have to start again
There's only so much I can do
And only so much I can be
Until I start feelin' like I'm no longer me
Want to be free from myself
Want to be free from everything else
Ooh
(I don't wanna be here no more)
I don't belong here
Not in this place (I don't wanna be)
(I don't wanna be)
And you have no idea
Of what I face (You have no idea)
(And I try and I try and I'm tryin)
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I feel like that's all that I can do (I'm so sick of tryin')
That's all that I can do
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I even feel this at all? (At all)
(I don't wanna try yeah)
I don't belong here
Not in this place (I'm so sick of cryin')
And you have no idea of what I face (I'm so sick of tryin')
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I feel like that's all that I can do
That's all that I can do
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I even feel this at all? (At all)
Want to be free from myself
Want to be free from everything else
