Alright, so this is it right here
This my anthem
It's my life, put to words
My grandma told me that everybody would love me
And its goin rain cats and dogs til I go and make it sunny
She taught me success wasn't aways measured in money
That you gotta face your fears when the cowards take to running
Now I'm running, soaked in tears
Crying, wishing you were here
And I wrote you a song that you'll never get to hear
But hear me out, it's not about what you won't get to see
It's bout the years we had together just my family and me
I don't think they understand they my reason for livin
Cuz when I done so wrong, they was so forgiving
And it means so much, I thank you all for giving
Life to a kid who had no reason for living
And it's scary, I attempted suicide
I didn't hate the world I hated who's inside
Just you and I
Could leave this world forever
And we could be together
But thats a lonely life
And looking back the worst ones were the lonely nights
The I don't have a homie nights
The fearing that the world would never really know me nights
See that's when I was losing faith in the heavenly
Knots around my neck the homies pleadin and beggin me
Say "We could still be kicking in our seventies
Takin midnight snack runs we running from centipedes"
The centerpiece, or foundation of humanity
Is that once in life we fall victim to insanity
I fall victim to the man in me
And they say "Joshua, why you stay writin?
Do you write to do right or write rights to enlighten?"
When the righteous do right to do right we stop fighting
If you LEFT your problems probably mean you wasn't RIGHT then
I write rhythms to provide the kids with guidance
The most dangerous thing of all is for a kid to sit in silence
I was in deep waters tho I probably heard the sirens
We was always taught to runaway from the sirens
We was always taught that the best would triumph
We all kings and queens with the hearts of lions
I'm sick of dyin
I'm even more sick of tryin
