Lyrics: Nicholas Geromini
Music: Nicholas Geromini
I know you can hear me right now,
you’ve been going through it tryna figure life out.
While the job and the kids keep you tied down,
Thought you payed all of the bills on time wow,
and that’s when they cut your lights out.
As a child had dreams of a white house,
Now every night, cant sleep and you cry loud,
Whole worlds gone under think you might drown,
you’re not proud but you still deserve a night out
You outside first time in a minute,
you even gotcha momma at the crib baby sittin’.
You planned everything for a night worth livin’,
but when it begins, still feel something missin’.
Your fit didn’t even make you feel like you fit in,
the make up didn’t make much of a difference.
Pretending everything’s alright when it isn’t,
The weights too heavy to lift it. And
It’s been a week, feelin’ so weak,
no one to get her what she needs,
working OT, so she can eat, pray it gets better on repeat.
All that she’s seen, bury’s it deep, somethings are never what they seem,
I’m cuttin’ the scene, just for this beat, we ain’t got forever to be free,
Girl I can see the person that you wanna be, but I believe you’re perfect without tryna be.
Just breathe you don’t gotta do somethin’,
trust me you don’t gotta prove nothin’.
Girl I can see the person that you wanna be, but I believe you’re perfect without tryna be.
Just breathe you don’t gotta do somethin’,
trust me you don’t gotta prove nothin’.
But you may never get over,
that hole in your soul,
and everyday you get older,
it only will grow.
Still you ain’t ever told no one,
don’t know how to cope,
Drink somethin’ and roll up,
it's part of the role she’s gunna play,
whatever it takes to show us she’s okay.
I wrote you this song to say you ain’t gotta be fake,
you are great just the way you were made.
But it’s been a week, feelin’ so weak,
no one to get her what she needs,
working OT, so she can eat, pray it gets better on repeat.
All that she’s seen, bury’s it deep, somethings are never what they seem,
I’m cutting the scene, just for this beat, we ain’t got forever to be free,
Girl I can see the person that you wanna be, but I believe you’re perfect without tryna be.
Just breathe you don’t gotta do somethin’,
trust me you don’t gotta prove nothin’.
Girl I can see the person that you wanna be, but I believe you’re perfect without tryna be.
Just breathe you don’t gotta do somethin’,
trust me you don’t gotta prove nothin’.
Thing’s you gotta face in this you gotta know it make me sick,
I look at you and think “this type of strength just can’t exist”.
Crazy how you take the hits and still don’t seem to break a bit,
Amazing you just tell yourself “complaining ain’t gon’ pay the rent”.
I can never play the fence, you gotta know I side with you.
How do you stay focused ‘round your demons? I see God in you.
See you on the daily, know you taking more than most,
I know that I ain’t in your shoes, but grateful I can watch through growth.
Love you gotta pour in you, don’t ever say you not enough,
Look at you just pushing through and tell myself to toughen up.
I know swallowing your pride it takes guts,
When you feel like you just stuck you don’t rush, you adjust.
Stacking all your checks hoping you can save something,
Just to look back and see how much you made from it.
Found some inner peace cause you know better days comin’,
found some inner peace cause you know better days comin’.
Girl I can see the person that you wanna be, but I believe you’re perfect without tryna be.
Just breathe you don’t gotta do somethin’,
trust me you don’t gotta prove nothin’.
Girl I can see the person that you wanna be, but I believe you’re perfect without tryna be.
Just breathe you don’t gotta do somethin’,
trust me you don’t gotta prove nothin’.
