[Verse 1]
Better days are comin’, if no one told you
I hate to hear you cryin’, over the phone, dear
For seven years runnin’, you’ve been a soldier
[Pre-Chorus]
But better days are comin’
Better …
[Verse 1]
There is a promised land waiting for me
Sometimes there’s an ocean that lies in between
I’ll keep on traveling the pathway You’ve been
‘Til I’m right where You want me, that’s …
[Verse 1]
Change came like a hurricane
2020 hit us differently
And even though I didn’t want it
This old life got a hold of me
How to float when there’s no control?
Feeling life or …
[Verse 1: Conan Gray]
Make myself feel more at home
I want to be the guy who loves the girl
The girl in the movies
Well, she don’t want me
She wants him and not …
[Chorus]
All the niggas who played with me who dead, them niggas ain’t want to live (No)
She gave me head and that head was givin’ what it’s supposed to give
I came …
Oh, hands up high

“S” on my chest10
I ain’t that strong

91112 won’t do
My back’s against the wall now
I’ve done all that I can do13
I prayed every prayer
Went to every service14
Like I know how
Just a ship without a sail15
I’m lost without your help16
I need help
Oh Lord I need your help
Whoa ooh Lord
Said I do but to tell the truth
Sometimes I don’t17
But it ain’t about my will
It’s all about what you want18
Your family19 used to be first
Things getting worse
In my home
My brother is hurt20
We need a word
It’s too far gone21
I need a life line right now
911 won’t do
My back’s against the wall now
Done all that I could do
I prayed every prayer
Went to every service
Like I know how
Just a ship without a sail
I’m lost without your help
Lord it’s me this time
Said I’m cryin’ all day
I just can’t make it if I don’t have your (help)22
Whoa said I really need
Dear Lord I need a little help now see
I feel left out
I can’t tell my right from my left now23
My mama’s cryin’ ’cause my daddy’s dyin’
He got pains all in his chest now
My daughter’s having these nightmares
I might be wrong but I’m right here24
I’m tryin’ a hold on but my hands hurt
Or the ropes out ’cause when life fights it don’t fight fair
So I’m leaning all on these ropes now
I got hope but it’s slow now25
So I’m leaning all on these quotes now26
Like never leave me
Won’t forsake me
If you don’t help me
I don’t make it27
Said you’d never leave me
So come on Jesus28
Lord yeah
Lord yeah
Does anybody need the Lord?
I can’t make it without you Lord, oh,29
Somebody laying in the hospital now
Need you to make it alright30
God I just lost my daddy,31
I need
Yes I need
Oh, yes I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah32
