I struggle with paranoia
I'm stressed and depressed
Don't even give myself a chance to eat or take any rest
Feel like I'm giving into demons that are leeching my breath
Don't understand how I'm supposed to keep my cool when I fret
I look inside for the answers
But they're not there
So many suffer in this world and it's not fair
So many dragons busy sitting on top of a throne of wealth
While people dying cause they can't pay for their health care
And that's a fact of life
I didn't say it was right
I'm just shedding the light
So you should do what you might
Pursue a few of your likes
And think a couple times before you start up a fight
And calm down
When you let your temper flare
Just calm down
I need you to remember I care
So calm down
Sit and take a minute and think
Bad decisions leave you feeling feeble and weak
So calm down
When you let your temper slide
Just calm down
In your mind but you're lost inside
So calm down
Think of what's unique to you
Show the world who you are when it fits the truth
Wanna put the gun to my head and simply just pull the trigger
Sometimes I feel like a broken record from all the pressure
Would it prevent all my problems and pain from getting bigger
Carry these burdens amidst the hurt and the stormy weather
Doing my best to keep moving forward and letting go
Still wonder why I've been crying and feeling sleep deprived
Keep it all buried inside until my cup overflows
Chasing that high as I'm drinking bottles of suicide
Put on this mask of fake happiness hoping I'm unconvincing
These evil thoughts in my mind I'm hiding are real convincing
We gotta stay focused throughout these trials and tribulations
That dirty devil provoking us with his instigation
Take a moment acknowledge that I'm not in control
Which should be fine as it co-resides with my empty soul
I gotta deal with it let it out and release it now
I know it's time for me to shine and let it out
And calm down
When you let your temper flare
Just calm down
I need you to remember I care
So calm down
Sit and take a minute and think
Bad decisions leave you feeling feeble and weak
So calm down
When you let your temper slide
Just calm down
In your mind but you're lost inside
So calm down
Think of what's unique to you
Show the world who you are when it fits the truth
This is the struggle where everybody got baggage
We need to huddle while navigating the wreckage
We're not that different just have different opinions
But that's just living pay attention and be giving and listen
This is the struggle where everybody got baggage
We need to huddle while navigating the wreckage
We're not that different just have different opinions
But that's just living pay attention and be giving
Ruthless pursuits of missing truth has got to go
People looking at the world through inverted telescopes
Incredible
How generations fly by when it's needed
Fighting wars when companies are getting heated
Yeah we've seen it
Fighting wars until their young are all but dead it's such a shame
Now our cities are in violence and in flames
It's all a game
And you are just a pawn a player for who's on the stack
Your life is gone but there's a way to get it back
Facts
I'ma focus on hope, what's true to me and you
I'll support and love my family like I do
And when I'm through
I hope my message here is clear to those who need it
I'm speaking
To those who at risk
Raise it up don't throw your fist
When I said that I need a movement of inclusion
To get a couple kids to see through this whole illusion
Your thoughts are only clear if your thoughts are your own
So take a couple minutes sit atop of your throne
And calm down
When you let your temper flare
Just calm down
I need you to remember I care
So calm down
Sit and take a minute and think
Bad decisions leave you feeling feeble and weak
So calm down
When you let your temper slide
Just calm down
In your mind but you're lost inside
So calm down
Think of what's unique to you
Show the world who you are when it fits the truth
