Failed Us

I feel like they failed us that's why I'm gon' pray
I got a lil' platform that's why I'm gon' speak
One in forty seconds, oh man it's deep
Could you imagine the stats in a week?
Could you imagine the stats in a year?
Once I read that man I really shed a tear
Oh I really shed a tear
(yo, yo, listen)
We got people crying
We got people dying
We got people giving up, cos they be tired of trying
They don't wanna seek for help cos they would seem too weak
So they drown in their thoughts until they really sink
We got people stressin cos of money
Man the politicians failed us now I'm really goin' dummy
How they sleep at night knowin they hands bloody?
People scared to go outside cause the color of their skin
Man I got alot to speak about don't know where to begin
If you goin through something please speak out for some help
Man I promise that it's better than 6 feet deep in some dirt
Male's holding in emotions cos we supposed to be strong
This mentality is stupid, man I'm saying it's wrong
Cos we got more man committing than ever before
Oh Man this some topic that I can never ignore

I feel like they failed us that's why I'm gon' pray
I got a lil' platform that's why I'm gon' speak
One in forty seconds, oh man it's deep
Could you imagine the stats in a week?
Could you imagine the stats in a year?
Once I read that man I really shed a tear
Oh I really shed a tear
(Yo, yo, listen)
Just know that you're loved, You got people that care
And I know how you feel,
I know life is unfair
And I promise if you do it, you gon' create bigger pain
And it's kinda selfish, would you wanna see your loved ones drained?
Mental illness ain't no joke
That's why I still provoke
And I'm loosing all my hope
