Make You Love Me

They told me I would see the truth
But how much time will it take
I see the memories in your mind are overcrowded with hate
I thought I caught a glimpse of joy, but it was an honest mistake
I see the pain in your heart right through that smile on your face
And I just can't take it homie
I see you aiming for greatness
And I think you'll make it homie
Trynna be patient while pacing but time is racing homie
I see these other busters hating on me
They say I'm fake and phony so what, yo they don't know me
As proud as you seem, you're doubting your dreams
Tripping off cowards you'd devour just empowered by greed
Spending hours in the shower while it's crowded with steam
Wipe off the mirror, you fill it with the loudest of screams
I'm yellin'

I hear what you tell me but
You gon' have to show me
If you don't like me, well
You don't know me (At all)
I'm sure I can save you
Hero I must be
But you don't like me, well
I'm a make you love me

Here we go again you and I
Standing in this mirror once again contemplating suicide
Watching one another cry, wiping up each others eyes
No one else around to talk me down, maybe you can try
That's what it's like when no one's willing to help
I guess I'm my own therapist, 'cause I'm healing myself
Like Antonio tell me all those feelings you felt
When you had to talk yourself out of killing yourself
Did the mission on my own, definition of alone
Had to be the father figure I was missing all along
Had a vision of a throne, where I would sit when I was grown
Painting pictures of my pain
To the rhythm of this song

I hear what you tell me but (I hear what you tell me)
You gon' have to show me (Gon' have to show me)
If you don't like me, well (Ooh, oh)
You don't know me (At all)
I'm sure I can save you (Sure I can save you)
Hero I must be (Hero I must be)
But you don't like me, well (Ooh, oh)
I'm a make you love me

Then I opened up my eyes and no one was there
So I guess it's time to end it yo I'm growing a pair
Really felt like I could do it even though I was scared
You see the thing that hurts the most is thinking no one would care
Then I heard something say
Whenever you're through crying
I'll give you what you need, just trust me in due time
There's a heaven and a hell and a world in between
I see the apple of your eye but here's the girl of your dreams
I was blessed with a family
I didn't understand it
I have the best son in the world
The greatest woman on the planet
This treasure that I've been handed
I'll never take it for granted
I was famished; I was damaged and ended up with an advantage
Building lessons for my son
Checking them off my list
I'll teach him about gain, I'll teach him about risk
I'll tell him about pain, I'll tell him about bliss
Whenever he sheds tears I'll hug him and tell him this

I hear what you tell me (I hear what you tell me)
Allow me to show you (Allow me to show you)
If they don't like you, well (Ooh, oh)
They don't know you (At all)
Remember you saved me (Remember you saved me)
Hero you must be (Hero you must be)
'Cause I didn't like me (Ooh, oh)
But you made me love me
