Calm Down ft. H.O.P.E Lyrics

I struggle with paranoia

I'm stressed and depressed

Don't even give myself a chance to eat or take any rest

Feel like I'm giving into demons that are leeching my breath

Don't understand how I'm supposed to keep my cool when I fret

I look inside for the answers

But they're not there

So many suffer in this world and it's not fair

So many dragons busy sitting on top of a throne of wealth

While people dying cause they can't pay for their health care

And that's a fact of life

I didn't say it was right

I'm just shedding the light

So you should do what you might

Pursue a few of your likes

And think a couple times before you start up a fight

And calm down

When you let your temper flare

Just calm down

I need you to remember I care

So calm down

Sit and take a minute and think

Bad decisions leave you feeling feeble and weak

So calm down

When you let your temper slide

Just calm down

In your mind but you're lost inside

So calm down

Think of what's unique to you

Show the world who you are when it fits the truth

Wanna put the gun to my head and simply just pull the trigger

Sometimes I feel like a broken record from all the pressure

Would it prevent all my problems and pain from getting bigger

Carry these burdens amidst the hurt and the stormy weather

Doing my best to keep moving forward and letting go

Still wonder why I've been crying and feeling sleep deprived

Keep it all buried inside until my cup overflows

Chasing that high as I'm drinking bottles of suicide

Put on this mask of fake happiness hoping I'm unconvincing

These evil thoughts in my mind I'm hiding are real convincing

We gotta stay focused throughout these trials and tribulations

That dirty devil provoking us with his instigation

Take a moment acknowledge that I'm not in control

Which should be fine as it co-resides with my empty soul

I gotta deal with it let it out and release it now

I know it's time for me to shine and let it out

And calm down

When you let your temper flare

Just calm down

I need you to remember I care

So calm down

Sit and take a minute and think

Bad decisions leave you feeling feeble and weak

So calm down

When you let your temper slide

Just calm down

In your mind but you're lost inside

So calm down

Think of what's unique to you

Show the world who you are when it fits the truth

This is the struggle where everybody got baggage

We need to huddle while navigating the wreckage

We're not that different just have different opinions

But that's just living pay attention and be giving and listen

This is the struggle where everybody got baggage

We need to huddle while navigating the wreckage

We're not that different just have different opinions

But that's just living pay attention and be giving

Ruthless pursuits of missing truth has got to go

People looking at the world through inverted telescopes

Incredible

How generations fly by when it's needed

Fighting wars when companies are getting heated

Yeah we've seen it

Fighting wars until their young are all but dead it's such a shame

Now our cities are in violence and in flames

It's all a game

And you are just a pawn a player for who's on the stack

Your life is gone but there's a way to get it back

Facts

I'ma focus on hope, what's true to me and you

I'll support and love my family like I do

And when I'm through

I hope my message here is clear to those who need it

I'm speaking

To those who at risk

Raise it up don't throw your fist

When I said that I need a movement of inclusion

To get a couple kids to see through this whole illusion

Your thoughts are only clear if your thoughts are your own

So take a couple minutes sit atop of your throne

And calm down

When you let your temper flare

Just calm down

I need you to remember I care

So calm down

Sit and take a minute and think

Bad decisions leave you feeling feeble and weak

So calm down

When you let your temper slide

Just calm down

In your mind but you're lost inside

So calm down

Think of what's unique to you

Show the world who you are when it fits the truth
