Reach Out

Reach out,
I reach out, yeah,
Look,

I think this conversation was overdue,
Where the fuck you been man, I been waiting to talk to you?
Like really I think I'm weak and with the more that I'm crying it shows the truth,
And I don't know bout you but I feel like life is pointless so what's the use?
If god is real then tell me where's the proof?
If sky's the limit how come every time I try to fly I hit the roof,
I know I'm putting a lot weight on your shoulder but as I already told ya,
I've been waiting to talk to you,
So I could talk away,
About the nightmare reigning on my parade, my brains feeling like rainy days,
So tell me please if the sun comes out,
Or do I give into my demons and our luck runs out?
Are people fucking with my music? Do they like my style
How many shows have we been booking? Do the crowds go wild?
Said I'm just begging for a chance I wanna prove my worth,
They made it twice as hard for me on this white mans Earth,
And they ain't taught a youngin' how to file tax at school,
Its like they setting you up just to laugh at you,
And I been reaching out to people for collaboration,
I'm agitated when they leave me on read like turning pages,

I don't know if I can hold it all together for you,
If I can promise you forever while I'm staring at you,
What can you tell me that can pull me from the edge of this cliff?
If I can't save myself then it's just what if,

And so I, I reach out, I reach out,
Why I needed to speak now, I speak out,
That's why I'm writing down these lines, it's a cry for help,
I realise it's a note to myself,
And so I, and so I,
I reach out, I reach out,
Why I needed to speak now, I speak out,
That's why I'm writing down these lines, it's a cry for help,
I realise it's a note to myself,

I think this conversation is getting heavy,
Know you been waiting but trust, I know you wasn't ready,
I know you feel like you weak and it's getting harder and harder to find the truth,
And yeah I noticed you and I are already sharing opposing views,
And listen, if you ever get a chance to hear this,
Just know that I am you and I can see your future clearest,
You made me who I am and you're the reason why I'm fearless,
So knowing time I'm hoping this isn't an interference,
But listen to me boy, imma keep it brutally honest,
You can't go on pretending that this life is ever promised,
You take responsibility for you and keep reminding everybody you were chosen for a purpose go and find it,
Forget about regret or you'll regret right now,
Cause there's somebody out there working while you sat right down,
Get back right now,
And rip another track right now,
And don't forget to put the city on the map right now,
Now we booking shows at Laundry, and various bars,
And these festival shows got me spitting various bars,
Precarious huh?
We beat the most embarrassing odds,
And that's the shit that we'll remember when we standing with god,
Huh,

But just surrender to the universe and let it,
Channel itself through you into something poetic,
You can't deny the lord cause he gave you this gift,
And if you let it go now, then you let me slip,

And so I, I reach out, I reach out,
Why I needed to speak now, I speak out,
Because I hear you and I know that it's a cry for help,
And so I'm writing you a note to myself,
And so I, and so I,
I reach out, I reach out,
Why I needed to speak now, I speak out,
Because I hear you and I know that it's a cry for help,
And so I'm writing you a note to myself,

We never committed to nothing more,
Than what we had in store for the rap game,
That came from a feeling of being sure,
That this shit was our purpose and what we been breathing for,
But trust it wasn't easy to get our foot in the door,
You think you struggling now, listen up truth is,
Imagine being where you at while you got two kids,
Cause that's exactly where I'm at, and I know you depressed,
But when they look at me it's like I got that S on my chest,
Nevertheless,
All you got do is work and research,
Work and rehearse,
Work until you're certain it works,
And when it does work everything will fall into place,
And you gon' be the hardest worker up in every space,

But wake up, you can't afford to fall asleep at the wheel,
You can't afford to get caught up in what is fake and what's real,
I said you can't deny the lord cause he gave you this gift,
And if you let it go now, then you gon' let me slip,
