I believe it was 'bout two years ago when I felt like giving up on you
I was going through so much and didn't have a clue when I would be okay
I felt like I was gettin' hit from the left and the right
And I didn't have it in me back then to fight'
But oh now, I'm stronger
I'm wiser
And I got some advice to share with ya
If you been down for a long time, listen to me right now
I got some news for you, some stuff that you can use right now
Hold on, be strong
It won't be long now
You would lift your head up if you knew what I know
‘So what you failed ‘
It's not too late
Tomorrow comes another day
Trust me, I know
So if you ever feelin' down and you need a shoulder
Lift your head up 'cause it's not over
I tried so hard not to let it show
But people still knew what I was going through
I tried my best not to share my biz
It is what it is
You were the only one that knew
My going out, my coming in, my start my end
You were the only one that held me close when I needed it the most, my friend
If you been down for a long time, listen to me right now
I got some news for you, some stuff that you can use right now
Hold on, be strong
It won't be long now
You would lift your head up if you knew what I know
‘So what you failed'
It's not too late
Tomorrow comes another day
Trust me, I know
So if you ever feelin' down and you need a shoulder
Lift your head up 'cause it's not over
Just because you see a period doesn't mean it's the end of it
Don't take what I'm sayin' lightly, this is serious
If you feel like you are runnin' outta time
And you feel like you're at the end of the line
Don't trip
You know it's bound to flip
And you gon' be on the other side
Hold on, be strong
It won't be long now
You will lift your head up if you knew what I know
‘Something something'
It's not too late
Tomorrow comes another day
Trust me, I know
So if you ever feelin' down and you need a shoulder
Lift your head up 'cause it's not over
