[Intro: Jimmy Levy]
Been on the street and got on my feet
I ain't got ways
'Cause I've seen better days
Through all of the pain in my life
But I never gave up, I look up to God
So I feel safe
I'd be lying if I say
I don't [?] at all
[Verse 1: Burden]
Look, so many people that pushed me away
Like I wasn't good enough, what can I say?
I've really been tryin' to be the best man I could be
Tryin' to grow a little more every day
Where do I belong? This isn't the place
I look in the mirror and just stare at my face
Like man, you know, it's time to get up and pack up
And leave and nevеr look back on these days
Look, no one said lifе is fair
I promised you're worth it and somebody care
Don't ever think it ain't nobody there
I lay down at night countless times in tears
So many people that's feelin' depression
You better believe it, I'm changin' the blessin's
Used to believe it'll never get better
I never gave up, persevered through the weatherin'
You can trust now
Look around, you with us now
If you never felt it, then you're loved now
I know you're to the point you've had enough now, but listen
You gotta keep strong
Lows turn to highs before long
Come to all of y'all in this song
Just to let you know that you're not alone
[Chorus: Jimmy Levy]
No, you are not alone
Yes, you are very strong
Don't push away, I won't let you cave
It takes a real person to rise from the grave
You are not alone
[Verse 2: Burden]
Look, if I told my story
I'd probably run you all off
But I just want to be me
I can admit to my brawls
Yeah, I know a lot of people see me
And I'm always tryin' to hide behind flaws
They don't know me, don't know, no, they don't know me, no
Hey, I show what I want you to see
Put on a smile, actin' like everything good
The whole time I'm thinkin' of suicide
I was almost convinced that I could
And all that it took was a friend
Callin' to ask how I've been
I told them the truth, said my mom wasn't right
And I think that I want it to end
I swear you the reason I lived, dog
So many times I wanted to throw in the towel
But look at me now
I had a dream and I'm livin' it now
Manifestation is all it's about
I ain't no better than you, want my head in the clouds
You're not alone as you think
And life gon' kick you every single time that you down
Just don't let it push you to the brink, for real
[Chorus: Jimmy Levy]
No, you are not alone
Yes, you are very strong
Don't push away, I won't let you cave
It takes a real person to rise from the grave
You are not alone
