Feelings

(Verse 1)

That’s right I’m so in my feelings
I just saw a young black girl get sectioned
Took a visit to the hospital
We had a chat for a bit, then I went home
Thought about the convo
Reaching for solace in the mind
That day, I could see the pain in her eyes
That day, I lost my frame of mind
That day, I was asking God why
Why? Nobody deserves this anguish
The Pain and the trauma, part of the sentence
For the sake of you
Peace of mind in time stay with you
Dark days go in a day or two
Now I pray for the body and I pray for you
It was like looking in the mirror when I saw her
The reflection of hurt
Tears that were coming from my eyes
That night made me think twice; review the care that I give
Then saw that I couldn’t save you
Felt helpless every time you called me
So forgive me for not picking up
I saw it ring when you needed prayer –
I needed a break, but you needed care
We both needed hope
We both see the fear
You find it hard to cope
It’s more than I can bear
But to another case, this line’s now for my youngest
I love you T, my sister indeed
You are not alone and you can talk me - We’re the same!

(Chorus)

Can you hear me?
I’m crying for help – can you hear me?
I will push forward with this feeling
But it’s not over; it’s not the end
So father pull me through again

(Verse 2)

That’s right I’m so in my feelings
I just got made redundant
For the second time at twenty nine
I’m a prisoner in my own dungeon
My peers are now having kids
I’m here writing sixteen’s
And it all means nothing with no one to share it with
As I pray for the woman of my dreams
I’m lonely – but as a man, I can’t admit that
Flat broken and broken – can Jesus fix that?
I just wanna take this time
Watching the clock in my mind
Thank God you gave me peace
To stop me taking my life!

(Chorus)

Can you hear me?
I’m crying for help – can you hear me?
I will push forward with this feeling
But it’s not over; it’s not the end
So father pull me through again

(Verse 3)

That’s right I’m so in my feelings
Another black man got shot
The church is silent, I see confusion
Hands up is all that we’ve got
I don’t wanna be another Hashtag
I don’t wanna die in the endz
Never knew Stephen Lawrence
But that could have been one of my friends
Worst still that could have been me
A Hashtag with an R.I.P
A Hashtag that could have been trending
A Hashtag gunned by the police
So God can you send your mercy
To carry every one of our sins
God I pray you heard me
Cause I really feel like giving in

(Chorus)

Can you hear me?
I’m crying for help – can you hear me?
I will push forward with this feeling
But it’s not over; it’s not the end
So father pull me through again
