Smiles & Cheers

Lyrics

[Intro: Mark Battles] Sample Dear heavenly Father I humbly come to you today Askin' for courage, askin' for strength Askin' you to help me not slap the shit out of somebody [Verse 1: Mark Battles] Woke up feelin' like I wasn't shit How long my heart been broke? Nobody cared to see it fixed In bed all day, I'm only up to eat and take a piss No, I don't know everything, but man it can't be it This can't be life, I think depression got me feelin' trapped All my wrongs and my mistakes, I hope to take them back Nah, I don't need your sympathy, I simply statin' facts I know you're used to smiles and cheers but this is where I'm at My step father used to beat me up So when I see him now I always keep a pistol tucked We both can die today, my nigga I don't give a fuck I block my preacher, phone kept callin', tryna wake me up Good luck, no emotion in a foggy daze I'm really startin' to think I'm payin' for my doggy ways Open up to all my fans, my mamma call it brave I'm not ashamed, I'm in a lot of pain, I'm in a lot of pain I think depression got me feelin' trapped (trapped) I think depression got me feelin' trapped (trapped) I think depression got me feelin' trapped I know you're used to smiles and cheers, but this is where I'm at Facts, I woke up feelin' like I wasn't shit Nobody text my phone, don't really care if I exist They love to see you down and out Don't want to see you rich, don't want to see you smile My God this can't be it, I know this can't be it Depression got me feelin' trapped Depression got me feelin' trapped Depression got me feelin' trapped They killed my nigga, I can't bring him back [beat change] [Bridge: Mark Battles & Kyland Taylor] We're so close to heaven, oohh But you don't understand me, oohh And I can barely stand it, oohh Because I thought you would know, oh Because I thought you would know, oh That we're so close to heaven, oohh You smoke 'cause you stressed out, oohh But do not hold your breathe in, oohh 'cause it burns slow, ooh, ooh, 'cause it burns slow ooh ooh [beat change] [Verse 2: Mark Battles] Am I wrong for havin' questions? Every song, every blessing Feelin' strong but I'm restless for the love and the essence Shoulder shrugs all the extras, keep it seperate Goddamn, what's a man to do when nothin' really goes how you planned it to And all the little things seem to damage you You can't stand the truth, right 'cause it hurt too much I don't see the hate, I work too much I ain't here to preach put the church suit up Lost a lot of friends when I first grew up, niggas trippin' Love can have you blinded, it be so one-sided, I'm reminded Of the times I gave you the world and in return, I couldn't find it Love, that is, and because that I'm feelin' heartless But regardless, I'ma make it out these hardships Yeah, Day 2
