Healing (Interlude) Lyrics

Yeah

Know I had to come on here and say my piece

It wouldn't be a Nick Johnson album

If I didn't come on here

Say something, speak to y'all

To be honest, I really just wrote this song last night

It's October 6th, the tape drop in four days, but

This was heavy on my heart

I felt the need that

It should be on there

So

Yeah

So much information, with no time to save it

So many things tend to get lost in translation

My mind on the run and life testing my patience

I feel so alone with these problems

Man I need to heal

Do you hear me, yeah

Do you feel me, yeah

One thing I had to learn, patience is key

But having patience don't mean sitting round waiting on your dreams

Gotta get up, go get active, gotta make it happen

Cause life gon' keep life-ing and time don't go backwards

Looking at my generation, we healing our traumas

The things we've endured from our mothers and fathers

Societal pressures and family drama

We breaking the cycles and taking it farther

Really praying for the ones making progress in silence

From breaking addictions, escaping the vices

Wiping your tears, keep your head up your highness

Cause you deserve to have the world, but you gotta get right with yourself

Focus on yourself, not the world

Cause the world ain't gon' deal with your pain

Trust me there's more to gain, on the other side of fulfillment and wholeness

And everything grows from the cup overflowing

That's real

It's like when you're on a plane

And they tell you in case of emergency

If something go wrong

And the little thing come down

You gotta make sure you're secure first

And that's the same thing in life

You gotta make sure you're straight with yourself first

Before you try to handle anybody else

I feel like all too often

We try to put our issues aside

And handle what everybody else got going on

And we find ourselves depleted, but

In this life, if you really wanna make a difference

If you really wanna make a change for the people around you

You gotta focus on yourself

And you gotta make sure that you're good first

And then once you're good

You know what I'm saying

You let that cup overflow

And you can handle the things, but um

Nobody benefits from a depleted human being

I mean

Make sure you're good first

That's facts

Dream big elevation, got sleep deprivation

These late nights I'm chasing but days can't go wasted

Got too much potential, I'm blessed I embrace it

If you think I'm stopping you're sadly mistaken

For real

Do you feel me, yeah

Do you feel me, yeah

Ohh
