L-FRESH The LION - Take Me With You lyrics

[Verse 1: L-FRESH The LION] I was asleep that night the call had came through I heard my parents speak but I never really came to It felt like a dream till I got up to hear the bad news My grandma pa**ed away and I didn't want to hear the truth You had a stroke but you never let it change you You smiled brighter, laughed louder and you stayed faithful I know you felt much pain but you never let it break you You never really showed it, you kept on singing your great tune When d**h came to take you, we had to try and make do I strived to recreate you but no one could replace you I tried my best to be the glue to hold us close and see it through Count our blessings, speak the truth, I learnt it all from seeing you For that I'm grateful, there's so much you gave to me That you'd smile through the hardest times is what stays with me It hurts knowing that you had to leave And there was nothing I could do to bring you back to me [Chorus: L-FRESH The LION] I'm tryna find a way up out of here today I'm tryna find a way up out of here today I wonder if you leave will you take me with you I wonder if you leave will you take me with you [Verse 2: L-FRESH The LION] I see your face pa** as I gaze at time I wonder if we would have lasted if we gave it time It all went by so fast when you said goodbye And there was nothing I could say that would change your mind My heart is home but I felt the pain moving in And I felt so new to this, hoping to get through it quick To find the affection I was craving instead of looking inside To satisfy my hunger but there ain't no food for this Feel like I'm losing it, feel like I'm losing grip You'd never catch a mad man choosing this That's foolishness, I throw smoke like illusionists Then change pace to try and escape to where the music is Sometimes I find your scent when I catch the breeze A rose beneath some trees brings back sweet memories It hurts knowing that you had to leave And there was nothing I could do to bring you back to me [Chorus: L-FRESH The LION] [Verse 3: L-FRESH The LION] I feel it on my shoulders, the pain weighs a tonne I try to sleep it off, I fear the morning sun I often sit back and wonder when that day will come Where the world is made for all and not for some Coz we got troops out here dying and youth suicides People running for their lives across seas and over skies Leaving family behind tryna make it out alive Where the only thing that matters is trying to survive And minorities in prisons, beat down by the system Those in power rarely listen, navigating with no vision It's a constant transmission, got me sitting down and thinking If my own suffering is even worth the time I give it But I know that can't be true coz we aren't one in the same My hurt cannot be weighed against another person's pain We have our own battles man, that's what I believe And it always hurts most when those closest to us leave/ But sometimes they have to leave
