[Verse 1: N0va]
Little Jenny – she always feelin alone
Only 13 – drowning out the screams in her home
Mom and Dad - fighting about how they stacking in loans
So Jenny connect with strangers on apps in her phone
Hashtags and selfies - she too young for this world
Facebook Twitter and Instagram really f** with a girl
A reality reversal – expectations and hurdles
She Rips herself apart with words in the back of her journal
She never think she good enough
She never thought she pretty – and boys don't give her looks and love
Falling down not lookin up
We can't afford a hit and miss
With all these kids just slitting wrists
Younger teens with syphilis
Parents proving hypocrites
We need some more defense up on the front lines
Young minds at risk - they never feel the sunshine
All we need is One Time – and one life to get lost in the fray
For us to know that we can all do with change
[Hook]
It's never too late – to call
It's never too late – to prevent the fall
[Chorus]
Look away from the screens – and stop the selfish ways
If we could link up in arms – we'd find some better days
[Verse 2: N0va]
Ma boy Matty – we worked the same shifts
Always had a smile, always laugh at the same sh**
Never knew he was hiding all this pain up inside him
We all carry weight but his was pain he can't lift
I should've seen the signs – the red flags all around me
The amount of liquor he drank at night coulda drowned me
Now I think of his family
And what they going through
The pain they try to hide but its showing through
The motions – now my tears flowing too
If only I was there to stop you Or Maybe done something when all those people mocked you
I could've been a leaning shoulder
But how can I move yo mountains when I can't even move my boulders?
I was helpless – at least I felt that way
I tried to give you ma hand – but you kept looking away
I could never understand young kids taking their life
But I keep flirting with the thought so I can't give you advice
[Hook]
It's never too late – to call
It's never too late – to prevent the fall
[Chorus]
Look away from the screens – and stop the selfish ways
If we could link up in arms – we'd find some better days
