[Verse 1: Crowded Places] I can't find a home I can't break the mold Living a la mode I can see the fold My child ain't got that kinda life Fancy cars wall to wall and flashing lights And if odds are involved I ain't gon reach no heights And my wallet dissolved so I fear for my wife I don't wanna tell her that I can't provide I don't wanna tell her we won't survive This life is a waste of time Battle a wall that I'm trying to climb Only to find myself on the other side Building this wall, raising that height Figured it was wrong, just let the venom bite Sitting in my heart, I knew it wasn't right So I'm right back on this city street Begging for things that I had with ease Looking at my seed I can see her need It's a silence plead begging me to please I know that if I leave it bring upon some ease But she's begging me please just be here for me [Hook: Crowded Places] Just be here for me It's the only love that I need Yeah she's begging me please Just be here for me, for me Just be here for me It's the only love that I need Yeah she's begging me please Just be here for me, for me It's for the love of my baby, baby For the love of my lady, lady It's for the love of my baby, baby It's for the love of my baby Sitting on nothing, I can go We are nothing we just go [Verse 2: Crowded Places] And she's standing there buzzed with her mouth full of foam Planning to lust every ounce of her low This is how it goes she was raised by the centerfold During the age when her folks turned to foes Now she in a pose, froze, didn't even known she had overdosed Cold, hold, her pulse was slowed Her hope was nope she had none Even thought about blasting with that gun Blame it on her youth it was cruel Only thing she knew was to glue All the pain with the tools, all the booze And the wounds, yeah she knew how to use Now she out and down in abuse Yeah she's drowning in the same street her father left her in With the same sneaks her mother stepped up in What intentions did they have for her Was it kiss the dirt before her 21st birth [Hook: Crowded Places] [Verse 2: Crowded Places] Help out that's what I need to do Living strong to be living proof My father always wanted the best for me is what she says And he gave it even when we had nothing It was motivation it was that something Now I'm rushing my patient to urgent care She just overdosed and her mental state is unclear Rush of wind and the clash of soles against concrete And a dark scream, alarming Eyes wide again, bright lights descend Pulse rising in, a higher bend Don't you die on me today is what she says To this drugedg up woman on her d**h bed Trained by the best a new graduate A motivating test she's a testament Funny both women grew up the same Came from nothing and see that changed And here they are side by side A shadow of different lives As the doc looks in her eyes She can see where it leads, the remedy That the druggie needs It's a silent plead Please don't ever leave Just be here for me [Hook: Crowded Places]
