Pure Persuasion

When you lose everything don’t go down with it all

Someone might make you a deal to get you back on your feet

If it is beyond your means… Forget that deal

Put on your best clothes… Go on for a breather

Pure persuasion to go on living can only come from you

One day at a time …. can only come from you

One day at a time!

Life ain’t easy no no ..But don’t take your life

There’s someone somewhere...mnnn...who is worse off than you …

So long as you can smile keep out of slime

Cos there’s something in you that didn’t die with what you lost

Keep it alive by feeding it well ….with pure persuasion yeah….

(yeah yeah yeah.. One day at a time) Pure persuasion yeah

(yeah yeah yeah… One day at a time) Pure oh ohh oh... …(yeah yeah yeah…

One day at a time….yeah yeah yeah One day at a time yeah yeah yeah!

Long as you can smile ah! keep out of slime ah!

Cos there’s something in you that didn’t die with what you lost

Keep it alive by feeding it well

with pure persuasion yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah-yeah ah! ah ! ah! …. (yeah yeah yeah)

Pure persuasion … (yeah yeah yeah)

Yeah yeah ...Pure persuasion … yeah-yeah yeah…. Pure persuasion …

(hip hop/rap) ©2020 Rap lyrics by M. Baugh, Music by G. Nii Amon Ashie,

Remember you are not alone ...Just pick up the phone

Reach out for some help and ...Let us walk you home cos

This life is a blessing worth caressing when your stressed, even when you think it’s a mess.

I will walk with you mister ...talk to you sister, help you ease the pain cos we don’t want to miss ya

folks, friends and family they can help you grow, it’s not about the speed cos we can take it slow

When the pain starts feeling like a parasite, in the kitchen turning up the Fahrenheit

I will keep it civil while turning all your wrong to right

Showing better options while turning all the dark to light

And this is not a story fam, I ain’t trying to get no glory fam

I’m trying to post to gram, so one day I can post a grand

Give a friend a thousand chips like a poker hand

Like The Beatles hit song I’m a hold your hand

and keep it tight through the fight like I’m supposed to, man

Just take a deep breadth and count down to three ...1-2-3...uh! 1-2-3... 1-2-3 ...now you feeling free

Don’t give in to the pain and the misery...You’re a top notch package time for delivery

there are so many things that you’re supposed to do...lets take it day by day and make a breakthrough

Suicide keeps coming just like deja vu.. you have so many great things still to do

I feel the power, the passion when I see you smile.. you light up the room just like the sun (wow!) 1-2-3...1-2-3

1-2-3...1-2-3…1-2-3…1-2-3 “yeah remember you are not alone out here… there’s always somebody that you can

reach your hand to and say I need some help, I’m having bad thoughts”

If you are feeling lonely, you feel afraid...Talk to someone! Always,always! Make sure that you reach out to a

friend saying ...I’m looking for some help.. I need some help, I’m not feeling okay. Things are not going well.

Take it from me, I lost my father in 2018 to suicide. Talk to someone!
