[Intro] Sometimes you never really know who's there for what reason or what purpose Teardrops and telephone calls Teardrops and telephone calls [Verse 1] He was never really good with girls, nah He was more into science He was never really good with words, nah He was more into silence Just a young kid, 15 years old Trying to figure out why this world so cold And he ain't really had no friends at all Sometimes he thought about dying Thinking that's the only way he'll find peace That was right around the time that he found me See, I had just put my phone number on the internet to talk to fans But he called, cause he felt like nobody understands All his father does is drink, and his momma's in the streets And sometimes when comes home, there's just nothing left to eat And he hates it Told me that he hates his life, he's thinking he should take it Selecting all the hurt and just erase it So I talk to him everyday, same time every night Get to know his name, where he stay, you know, what he like And even though I found his life really kind of rough He was smart to computers and that kind of stuff And one day my phone died and I was kind of scared Thinking he would trip out, but when I called him he was there
That's my lil homie He looked up to me, called me his OG He heard all my songs way before the world did And next thing you know, he got a little girlfriend His grades started going up, but his momma's health didn't So when she pa**ed away, he said he ain't really miss her Said she hit the road, left him and his little sister And that's when they were young, so he ain't get to bond with her I understand Was kind of cool to watch him grow up to a man And I started feeling proud And I know I'm not his dad But if you know me, you know I write songs and make tracks Ain't really got time for no or all that So through this whole thing I learned the craziest lesson That this kid was actually my unexpected blessing Spoke to him last week, he said I'm all good now Check my profile, turned my picture upside down And well, thanks Maejor [Outro] Teardrops and telephone calls Yeah, you never know Like the whole time I thought I was supposed to be helping him, but he was really helping me Anybody who's going through, thinking about they life or anything. Don't It's not worth it, for real, it could change any minute Trust God, love yourself, there's people who love you
