CHILD ft. DJ Krusade Lyrics

Stuck in traffic goin' 80 in my head

All this road rage culminates to feeling blank instead

I have a son at home waitin'

A wife who hones the craft of home creation

I still work for an hourly wage that's too significant to be turnin' the page

But insignificant enough where I gotta rely on

A check to check budget in a state where they try to

Say they're for the people but the average rent skyrockets

After a pandemic, relief checks and a gas crisis

Drains my bank account insane amounts

Blood stained by fangs of doubt, migraines so loud

That it's deafening - a reckoning on my mental affecting me

It's like I'm the wrecking ball and the building - it's perplexing me

I've felt this way since I was 12 years old

Stuck in a time loop - tryna heal my soul

I hear you child - just talk with me

Tell me all your anxieties

I promise to be that one you can trust and can always come to

I see you child - just walk with me

You don't gotta talk - just let be

Breathe in slowly - try to see

You're struggling - you deserve peace

I'm just tryna be who I needed as a kid so I live vicariously

Through my child - I've ran so many miles

Just to come full circle to this moment - it's really wild

How I've been endowed with this gift - I just listen

To the shouts and then spin 'em to my interest

Then I'm just inches away from the mic

Knowin' after this session if I'm lucky I'll feel alright

Cuz I've been the type to sit at night and freely write about the gripes I've had in my life - tryna get it right

My pen is gripped as tight as a pipe wrench can get

When my defenses slip

I get pensive quick

Then I'm on my own again

Feeling so alone again

I just wanna soak it in

By reciting broken hymns

My mind relies on open ends

I don't wanna close it yet

I'm feeling like my only friend

Emotionally co-dependent, don't expose it though I can't

It's a rope descended from the holy pearly gates of Heaven

If I decide to rise to the sky

I'll ascend with a bittersweet tear in my eye

I hear you child - just talk with me

Tell me all your anxieties

I promise to be that one you can trust and can always come to

I see you child - just walk with me

You don't gotta talk - just let be

Breathe in slowly - try to see

You're struggling - you deserve peace
