[Chorus]
Sister, give me a reason to get out my mind, please? (Please, please, please)
I've been so lost that I can't even find me
Sister, give me a reason to get out my mind, please? (Please, please, please)
I've been so lost that I can't even find me
[Verse 1]
Better days, better days, hard to hold 'em
Don't let 'em get away, [?] be lost before you know him
Saw you for the first time since he died like, fifteen years
Been a long time, not see love in a place, so easy to know it
'Member back when you used to watch me?
When he was sick and downstairs he was dying?
Get me movies that I shouldn't be watchin'
So I could watch that instead of everything that make me feel bad?
'Member when he passed, you told me all thing pass, even hard things?
Like fifteen years been a long time?
Say you glad I'm here like ain't a day pass
Made a home-cooked meal so I could watch that instead of everything that make me feel bad
I told you I've been angry for a minute
Can't sit here knowin' everything from a way back to forgiveness
How did you ever settle down? How'd you figure out your business?
I swear you lookin' better now, like fifteen years been a long time
But it feel like ain't a day gone by
Yeah, I know our life strange and I wanna change mine
You said you wouldn't change yours and I've always wondered why (Yeah)
Like, you so good, you don't deserve it
Like, how can you figure out that anything get better after that?
Like, in the same shoes, tap out
But you still here with a smile right across me with a purple napkin
Ask me if purple's still my favorite color
I said it is, you said that's how I know you my baby brother
And I laugh 'cause that's dad's favorite color
And you cried when you told me the poem he heard before he died
Yeah, fifteen years really been a long time
Yeah, fifteen years really been a long time
But I'm glad I dropped by
[Chorus: Pandaraps & Alexa Prus]
Sister, give me a reason to get out my mind, please? (Please do) (Please, please, please)
I've been so lost that I can't even find me (Please, please, please, please, please)
Sister, give me a reason to get out my mind, please? (Please do) (Please, please, please)
I've been so lost that I can't even find me (Please, please, please, please, please)
[Verse 2]
You see, I never really got to know my oldest brother 'fore he passed away
Got six sisters, two brothers left but still feel cast away, ahab
On a quest to get the whale killed, but think we know how that ends
And on the real, I'm more prone to a backbend
Got sorries for my sorries
Got worries that I probably shouldn't have at twenty-seven
Like, is this the end
Or is that a question they've been askin' since the dawn of stupid questions?
Like what makes a good man good, and a bad man bad?
When everything is all subjective, are we products of environment?
And if we are, is that enough to validate all of my lesser? (Nope)
Hella time I've been wastin' on this chess board, like, boy, you need to move
But that clock is gonna get you before that tick tock tick
Can you tell me another story about the life you got to live?
Tell me more about a dad, how you learned how to forgive
How you never needed no one else to tell you how it is
How you never needed money, I'm the man who live it big
Yeah, fifteen years been a long time
I'm sorry I ain't come by
Guess part of me has been just an angry little kid
Never lettin' go since the day that he died
But fifteen years been a long time
And I think that I've changed my mind
[Chorus]
Sister, give me a reason to get out my mind, please?
I've been so lost that I can't even find me
Sister, give me a reason to get out my mind, please?
I've been so lost that I can't even find me
