LORD ZUKO - Sweet Reassurance

Everyday I look out to my red sea
Trying to part it on my good days
Is God still with me?
So when I'm down on my luck
It isn't enough
I feel like I'm worthless
Got nothing to just sit down and pass the time
Until I feel alright again
That's why I'm writing lines
Nothing in my heart to give
I wanna go live
Prod it with my emotional shiv
It's time to go
I miss my friends
None of 'em lend a hand
When I'm in distress
Make me feel like I'm less
Than a person, don't wanna begin
I'll make 'em feel bad and then they'll wanna get in
On a little plan to save me
I don't want your pity
Just come by already
Then you can hug me all you want
No, don't forget it's not for you
Not your clout
Not so I can be your boo
Fuck your shoes
What about mine?
I fill yours, you fill mine
That's what's called empathy
But most of you have that section of your heart emptying
Who really fucks with me?
I have my doubts but I think I know who's playing the game
I know none of you can feel a fucking ounce of shame
But listen, honey
I'm 'bout to turn your life around
I need you to love
Not no one but yourself
Cry anytime you need
If anyone starts to say shit
Just tell 'em that you been
In a rough place, you do this
So you don't feel a sting
On your arm or in your mind
You feel the pain
So that you don't complain
I know the feeling, you can wake up again
Don't let your mental scars
Stop you from shooting for the stars
Get one friend and cling to 'em
Treasure all the pleasure
That you can, don't block out the noise
But feel it in your own increments
I promise you
You can make it through
Relax and breathe
You don't have to wheeze
Feel the light breeze
See the beauty around you
Don't forget what you have
Be motherfucking glad
Stand up, and hear what life is telling you
I need you to remember why you're here in the world
Might take a long time but you'll find it eventually
Might be a long line but you'll find love another day
Pace your breath
Lift your head
Shoulders back
Walk straight
Find your worth and keep it close
Don't let those bitches touch it
You deserve better
Sweet reassurance
