Cross My Heart (feat. Ink)

I am more than a number

I'm a feeling not a color

I'm a sacrifice

I gave up all my fears and my doubts

They say I gotta be a hero

But tell me, who gone save me though?

I paid the price

Don't you know the future's right now

Can you tell me who I'm supposed to be if I can't be myself?

Tell me, who's gonna help?

Help me, so I

Cross my heart, I hope to live forever

I hope this pain don't last too long

Too long

Keep holding on, we all in this together

The war ain't over, carry on

Stay strong, hey

It took a world emergency to get some break time

Took a pandemic just to make that FaceTime

Call I probably shoulda made last fall

Didn't yesterday I say I'm gon' do that tomorrow?

That's a everyday thought

So I prayed and I meditate hard

If I take a L, learned and I elevate, dog

Ain't no elevators on the stairway to heaven

God, I ain't always quite clear on direction 'cause

Life ain't seem to go how I planned it

Things'll pop out and malfunction, shout Janet

We always take for granted

What we think is set in granite

What if we didn't panic, but instead we took advantage

Of the time that we got right now

I knew how short it was when my mom timed out

I held her inside my arms, pain don't last too long

This ain't forever, it's just 'bout right now

I'll see you again

Can you tell me who I'm supposed to be if I can't be myself?

Tell me, who's gonna help?

Help me, so I

Cross my heart, I hope to live forever

I hope this pain don't last too long

Too long

Keep holding on, we all in this together

The war ain't over, carry on

Stay strong, hey
