From the recording Live On
"Live On" is probably one of the most important songs I have written. It deals with mental health issues that run rampid and unchecked in our society. The taboo and unspoken words we all hide from in one form or another. I am here to tell you, deal with that! It's okay. We all need someone. Whoever or whatever it is, hold on to it! It's okay to talk to someone... anyone! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Lyrics
CHORUS
Don’t let go.
I’m too scared
to ever wanna
be
alone
if you’re not there
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
Don’t let go.
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
I’m too scared
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
to ever wanna
be
alone
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
if you’re not there
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
Don’t let go.
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
I’m too scared
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
to ever wanna
be
alone
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
if you’re not there
VERSE 1
Billin’ us
for our own murders
is
villain-nous.
We still’n cuffs.
We afraid to confront
those we trust.
Most of us
are good with
the hopeful life
Believin’ in somethin’
that, huh
you know ain’t right.
Whether it’s the Ying and yang
or the G almight.
We’ve been kicked to the curb
and refused to see the light.
We the plight
of our own futile existence.
When we remember that
we won’t have to depend on resilience.
We brilliant.
Can’t you see our potential?
Look at yo kid’s
Daddy
King
Imprint that
to they mental.
We brilliant.
Can’t you see our potential?
Look at yo kid’s
Daddy
King
Imprint that
to they mental.
CHORUS
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
Don’t let go.
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
I’m too scared
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
to ever wanna
be
alone
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
if you’re not there
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
Don’t let go.
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
I’m too scared
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
to ever wanna
be
alone
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
if you’re not there
VERSE 2
You can’t get to the village
if you have strong individuals.
Plant that seed.
So you can receive the residuals.
Lifes a pendulum.
That shit swings back and forth
and if you in its way
It’ll send yo ass up north.
Not carin’ that you accomplished!
Not carin’ if you rich!
Life don’t make a profit!
Life will say,
fuck you bitch!
You and yo kid’s!
Yo mama was a snitch!
And yo daddy ain’t been seen in years.
How’s that Nig?
At the end of the night
you like damn,
I need somethin’
to get me through this, fam.
These muthfucka’s out here don’t give a fuck.
Seem like my own people, huh,
they done gave up.
Why should I give a fuck?
Why should I pay attention?
Why can’t I get a Mention.
Trollin’ yo feed - need of an intervention.
We brilliant.
Can’t you see our potential?
Look at yo kid’s
Daddy
King
Imprint that
to they mental.
CHORUS
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
Don’t let go.

be
alone
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
if you’re not there
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
Don’t let go.

I’m too scared
I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody

I really need somebody… Somebody… Somebody
