VERSE ONE
I saw my homie the other day, he was looking rough in a cutting way / I was shook, it's tough to know what's to say, so I said what's up and he said "my pain" / Actually he said "what's up man I'm good" but eyes tell a different story / I said that I'd do whatever I could, he told me "This the morning / I'm gonna do it, I can't live without her, I'm committed to it, no talking me out of it / I've just been losing it, lately been doubting at all that I even ever truly mattered / I'm gonna splatter my brains on the wall, maybe they'll see I'm insane when I fall / To the ground with my life draining out of me, now there's no doubting me, drowning the pain of it all" / Homie I'm taking you all the way home with me and I'm making some calls / Got a prayer chain of believers, mountains get moved when they get involved / They gonna make an assault on all of your demons and negative thoughts / This night and each to come, we getting through it whatever the cost / Cause we both know there's a whole host of those who would never recover / From the loss of their dad, son, friend and brother, each life touches another / Once you gone ain't no coming back, so I'm asking you to please stick around / And if you need another reason to live, think of this, I might have followed you if you did it now

CHORUS
Every single time that I can breath again
Something in my life just up and leaves again
Praying for the day that I'll find peace within
It's really got me feeling like
Feels like I need a reason to live (4x)

BRIDGE
Feeling like I need a reason to live
I remember someone left me with this
Never underestimate how much your life can have impact on another's
See we gotta have the backs of each other (repeat)

VERSE TWO
You don't ever know what someone is going through, suppose that you had one close to you / That was posted through the emotional times, hoisted you up, their voice a true guide / Then it blew up and everything changed, life is cruel and ain't a thing is arranged / "Is it true?" yea he died in the blaze, everyone that he knew was crying for days / And that's the one that's in front of you that just merged without a signal / You just wanna uppercut the dude, not knowing that anger is misused / Cause he just buried his brother today and the least of his problems is traffic / And tragedy brings out emotion, it's probably not worth getting your ass kicked / And I can spit, will spit, for the one's that's going through real shit / If you feel like you can't deal with it, I'm being real with this, spill it / Talk to someone you love - God, your best friend, your moms, your pop / Because you matter alot, and if you feeling alone, just rock to this song cause I promise you're not / I've been there, been close, thought I had nothing to live for / but my God above and my kinfolk lifted me up through the thick smoke / Of my battlefield, yea the battle's real, with a flash of steel and a last appeal / One day I'll give in to the reaper so I leave my people with this, a song is a reason to live

Repeat CHORUS
