[Intro]
When your heart aches and life's too much to take just call on me
[Chorus]
Who's got your back when the sky turns black and not a single person out there knows how to act?
Me, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's right, right
Who can you call when the sky starts to fall and life's got you backed up against the wall?
Me, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's right, right
[Verse 1]
I know nothing in the world makes sense these days and the problems that you're facing are immense in ways you never could predict with a crystal ball and at best it's a battle to feel nothing at all
Waiting for something to fall and ease the pain
Nobody feels the same, anger mixed with shame
No one to blame but that makes it worse
If someone was at fault at least that's someone to curse
Someone to hurt as bad as you're hurt now but even thinking in those terms leaves you burnt out
No doubt
It's about as bad as bad can get
Whitey's walking on the moon but ain't beat cancer yet
Ain't got an answer yet for what you're going through
Come to find out whitey's mom got cancer too
And it ain't like it helps to know he's going through that
'Cause the next man's pain don't bring your mom back
[Chorus]
Who's got your back when the sky turns black and not a single person out there knows how to act?
Me, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's right, right
Who can you call when the sky starts to fall and life's got you backed up against the wall?
Me, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's right, right
[Verse 2]
I hope you know how many folks got you on their mind in these difficult times
This ain't your typical rhyme these are words from the heart
Words meant to spark hope when days get dark
And I wish I knew just the right things to say to make the heartbreak fade away
But in the meantime I'm right by your side
(Call on me) Call on me homie don't be shy
And don't think I ever ain't got time
That'll be the same day I ain't got rhymes
And that there's a long way away
So if you need to get at me and if you want get at me today
Even if you ain't got nothing to say
And you feel like you're fading away
Hey I've been there and you helped me pull through
Now I'm here for you
[Outro]
When your heart aches and life's too much to take just call on me
