[Verse 1: L-FRESH The LION]
I'm picking up the pieces of my heart now
Looking up at the world from where I pa**ed out
I lost my shine so my hopes are with the stars now
See I embraced defeat when I let my guard down
But that's exactly what they tell a man
You're worth more than all the people that you're better than
So when we're hurt we destroy rather than lend a hand
Forgive me world, I'm just tryna be a better man
I'm not competing, I'm simply feeling defeated
And knowing that to proceed, destruction is to be greeted
Allowing my eyes to bleed till all my tears are depleted
Coz for new life to grow the rain is certainly needed
So let it pour, let it pour, let it pour out
I want to be free from feeling these doubts
So let it pour, let it pour, let it pour out
This world keeps letting me down
[Chorus: Jimblah]
I'm spilling over
Blood upon my shoulders
Drowning in an ocean
From what have I come?
Waves crashing over
A ballad of a soldier
Defeated by his own gun
What have I become?
[Verse 2: L-FRESH The LION]
I said goodbye not long after I was welcomed
Coz love was seldom seen and I rarely felt it
Saw state of the world and what some are dealt with
Wore my heart on my sleeve and tried to help them
But it affected my health
Coz in trying to save the world, I couldn't save myself
I felt my wounds re-open, I can't forget em man
Forgive me world, I'm just tryna be a better man
But I'm too weak, I'm too polite when I speak
Taken advantage of too easy when I open my reach
I'm too much of a thinker and aim too high when I dream
So when reality hits I'm too quick to fall to my knees
Those closest to me they treated me like the seasons
For whatever reason I became accustomed to them leaving
Their voices speaking were feeding my inner demons
And they kept on repeating so I began to believe them
So let it pour, let it pour, let it pour out
I want to be free from feeling these doubts
So let it pour, let it pour, let it pour out
This world keeps letting me down
[Chorus: Jimblah]
[Verse 3: L-FRESH The LION]
Life don't always play out as you expect it
The greatest challenges can change your perspective
You can try to control and perfect it
But peace is found when you learn to accept it
And come to terms with, nurture and respect it
A mistake's only dealt with if you correct it
I speak to my reflection hoping it'll understand
And maybe one day, I'll be a better man
[Chorus: Jimblah]
