Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From way back then, and still near you
Used tell me don’t let nobody speak for you
So the least I can do is sing for you
We used to dream about the little things back then
Uh
Tell a dream about the the little things back then
Uh
Tell a dream about the little things back then
Uh
Least I can do is sing for you
Hm
Just dream about the little things back then
[Chorus]
I'm down on my knees but I don't want that
Uh huh
I'm down on my knees but I don't want that
Ah
Theres blood on the leaves, but I don't want that
Uh huh
I don’t wanna leave and never come back
Ah uh
Is it harder to breathe?
I'm not too sure
Mmm
These days just pass me by
Mmm
Maybe I was living too fast, too fast
I couldn't believe I never looked back
Looked back
I'm down on my knees
[Verse 2]
So what's been on your mind lately?
Feelings out of spite
Turned my life into a melody
So much for the summer
Tryna come up, ain't no telling me
Still up when the sun up when my mind get too ahead of me
So much on the line, ain't no c'est la vie or meant to be
A hundred ways to die, I'll do that shit before they bury me
Who can say they turned a dream into a memory?
Three-sixty-five, how you feel I'm on the way
Bad energy aside, tryna celebrate my day
Had shadows on my ceiling, I could see no god
Uh
Back then I couldn’t really see no star
Uh
That doesn’t mean I’ll never beat those odds
Uh
So when I bleed you never see no scars
And back home by brothers never had a voice, so
[Refrain]
The least I could do is sing for you
The least I could do is sing for you
The least I could do is sing for you
The least I could do is sing for you
[Chorus]
I'm down on my knees but I don't want that
Uh huh
I'm down on my knees but I don't want that
Ah
Theres blood on the leaves, but I don't want that
Uh huh
I don’t wanna leave and never come back
Ah uh
Is it harder to breathe?
I'm not too sure
Mmm
These days just pass me by
Maybe I was living too fast, too fast
I couldn't believe I never looked back
Looked back
I'm down on my knees
[Verse 3]
So what's been on your mind lately?
I'm talking to the sky, but when I call, there's no reception
I got fears that I'm projecting, I got joy that I'm protecting
They gon’ feel me on my new shit
Feel me in my essence
I just miss when it was simple, I forgot to count my blessings
Now I'm feeling colder from the seasonal confessions
Got me holding onto grudges, like the taste of my own venom
They gon’ see me on my new shit
See me being reckless
Heavy weight still on my shoulder, least it's also on my necklace
Same time I got some fam without a pension
Tried to show affection
No answer for their questions
Bled to get the bag 'cause paper cuts just cut the tension
Head was in the clouds, the ground was burning like a Benson
Hedging, bets against my own intentions
Still I see the same **** in reflection
Took some words back I said, even if I meant some
I guess I still ain’t learned my lesson
[Outro]
It took me a long, long time, I know I felt you drift
It took me a long, long time to like the rain clouds
I think there’s a war outside, I know how much I’d give
How much I'd give
The least I could do is sing for you
