[Intro: Par.]
Feel the success, but I'd rather see you live
Pressure got you acting like you only wanna hit
A taste of the poison, I know you get annoyed-n
I wanna know how I can help, only get destroyed-n
[Verse 1: Par.]
Tell me what's your problem, what the hell is wrong?
Your insecurities make a hell out of a song
I know you got annoyed when I used to call you perfect
I'm not the only one thinking that you do deserve it
Ask my fellows, just ask the women
Asking you please, maybe more like begging
That you think a little better, stop caging yourself
The others agree, you need to get up off the shelf
(agh)
[Hook: Par.]
*One time, lemme hear you say your better*
*Two time, lemme help you off a rail*
*Three time, getting cold, you need a sweater*
*Four time, why you walking off a trail?*
A path that we walk alone, but never strut
See the others by our side, for the better
Feel the others hold your hand, get a hug
It's a trail that we gotta walk altogether. (agh)
[Interlude: Par.]
Kiss your sons, kiss your mothers, kiss your brothers
Kiss your sister, and anyone you call a lover
Love em and tell em everything you cover
You never know if it's the last time you see each other
It's a trail
It's a long, long trail. (x2)
[Verse 2: Par.]
This is your life, won't tell you how to live it
I want you to succeed, go up in business
I wanna hear that you're the one they asking for
I wanna know that you're the one they stacking for
I know you got the issues, I have come to misuse
Listen to Jhene, telling me I been rude
Right to you, and yet I keep it going
I know I'm irritating but don't stop it if you want it
(yeah)
I see you on the sides, looking like you wanna cry
Ain't gon' lie, I hate it when you thinking sad
I wanna hear you happy cheering like old times
But I hear you're stressed in cold times
I know your parents ain't want you going farther
I know they only want the best for their daughter
I know they solo see your pa**ion as a hobby
But lemme tell you, you be what you wanna be
[Hook]
[Voicemail Interlude]
*Hey man, how've you been?
Look , I'm sorry- sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch- touch these past few months. It's just that I've been busy- I've been busy. You know, with the music and the school and everything. I'm just- I'm just trying to do... the best I can with what I have over here, I'm sorry I couldn't get to you.*
[Verse 3: Par.]
Thoughts I been making, incidentally shaking
I try to tell you about it but I don't have any time
Wish I could get back on those messages we rolling
But my new life's clingy, encouraged with my signs
Lemme tell you all about it when I get back home
Don't know if it's the spring or the summer next year
Don't know if this success is teasing like a stripper
Wanna see you first for success comes to hit us
[Hook]
[Outro]
*One time, lemme hear you say your better*
*Two time, lemme help you off a rail*
*Three time, getting cold, you need a sweater*
*Four time, why you walking off a trail?*
Be glad for what you have. (x4)
