Chase and Status (feat. plan b) Lyrics

I can’t save you
I am unable to rescue or protect you from your troubles

But I wish that I could
I desire to have the ability to help you

Like a man really should
I feel like it's my responsibility as a man to be able to help you

Sustain you
I want to provide you with the necessary support to help you continue

You’ll be misunderstood
I believe that people will not comprehend your situation

Won’t fit in but different is good
It's okay that you don't fit in with society because being unique is valuable

Yeah I gotta be grateful
I need to show appreciation for what I have

I been up all night
I have spent the entire night doing something

Scrolling through videos of you
I have been watching videos of you

It is so difficult to view
It's tough to see what you're going through

No telling what it really did to you
I have no idea what impact this has had on you

And I lost the fight
I didn't succeed in helping you

The tears won the years run
I am crying and time keeps moving

I’m right here son I fear some
I am here for you, but I worry about certain things

Will not comprehend
Others won't be able to understand

What it’s like to be you they see you
People see you, but they don't know what it's like to be in your shoes

But you’re so lost in yourself you cannot let them in
You are preoccupied with your own thoughts and feelings, which prevents others from getting close to you

Faded but I didn’t see it
You were slowly losing yourself, and I didn't realize it

Your name I would say it repeat it
I used to say your name over and over again

Like show me your eyes and I hope you respond
I would ask you to look at me and hope for a reaction

In due time or look up in agreement
Eventually, you may look at me and demonstrate understanding

But being the youngest
Because you are the youngest member of the family

Sometimes your sisters took most the attention
Your sisters received most of the focus and care

What if I never stopped holding you close in my arms
What if I had continued to hold you tightly and keep you close

Would you not of gone ghost I’m conflicted
Would you have disappeared if I had not let you go, I am unsure

I grieve what I don’t comprehend
I mourn about what I don't understand

Miss the things that could’ve been
I regret the things that could have happened

Believing that when it’s the end
Thinking that when everything comes to a close

Your mind will be sound and then fully restored
Your mind will be healthy and fully operational once more

And we’ll feel with perfection amen
We will be able to experience life with complete wholeness

I don’t want to see no symptoms
I don't want to witness any signs of problems

I don’t want to see no label
I don't want to have you categorized or labeled with anything

I just want to see my son
I simply want to see you, my child

I don’t want to see disabled
I don't want to see you classified as disabled

I don’t even know how to pray
I am unsure how to pray

If I ask God to fix you
If I pray to God to heal you

What does that really say
What does that truly mean

That I think that you’re broken
That I believe that you are damaged

I think you’re a problem
I have the impression that you are causing problems

But no that is never the case
But that is not accurate

Sometimes I’m stopping mid sentence convicted
Occasionally, I feel compelled to pause mid-sentence

To say God I give you the praise
To say that I am grateful to God

Fix the way I see
Help me see things differently

Fix the way I think
Help me think in a more positive way

He should play with me
God should be at play in my life

Everything in me
All of me

Let the pain decrease
Allow the pain to lessen

Let me take my seat
Let me rest and be still

And learn from him
And grow through my faith in God

Instead of thinking I should turn him into
Instead of thinking that God should make you into something else

A child like the rest now I am a mess
A typical child, now I feel like I'm in pieces

Down into a depth further in
Deeper into my thoughts and emotions

Cus’ this is where I love with no restraint
Because this is where I love completely and unconditionally

This is where I serve with no condition or complaint
This is where I can serve others without any expectation or grievance

This is where I’m not obsessed with typical responses
This is where I am not focused on what society deems normal or appropriate

You’re more than good the way you are
You are more than okay just the way you are

My miracle my promise
You are my miracle, and I promise to always be there for you
