988 Lyrics

I've been struggling inside my mind

Asking that question about life

I don't wanna let em down, I don't wanna fail

But I don't have much left

I'ma be okay, I'ma be okay

Someone in the world got it worse than me

I'ma be okay,

I got this pain in my body this fear on my breath

That's why I don't ask for help, but now I'm stuck

All alone,

All alone

Don't nobody see me, don't nobody feel me the way that I need

So how am I supposed to ask for help

How come everyone I know,

Knows somebody who has taken a life

Either their own or somebody else's

Be objective and just call it a crisis

Claiming we care for the children, parents is watching their death and healing

Being gunned down like it's a war zone

And they're not regular civilians

My brother thinking about taking his life

All I can do is hold him

No options in the community

To teach us all about coping

We got millions of people crying out for help

And they say it in the simplest ways like

I'ma be okay, I'ma be okay

Someone in the world got it worse than me

I'ma be okay

I got this pain in my body this fear on my breath

That's why I don't ask for help, so now I'm okay

All alone

All alone

Don't nobody see me, don't nobody feel me the way that I need

So how am I supposed to ask

When I'm alone,

When I'm alone

Don't nobody see me, don't nobody feel me

The way that I need

That's why I'm all alone
