Cry
N.D.T.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been searching all my feelings
Cause I seen some shit that cut me way back when but it feels much deeper now
I pledge allegiance to fight all of my demons
Because they drag me to the ground without reason and its treason
It's like I ain't been the same since I left the warmth of my family
Independence has damaged me
Made me question my sanity
Every breath that's attracting me
Can't let the devil catch up with me
He's a pagan that's clashing me
So I look in the reflection
I'm tryna see the message for myself
Cause everywhere that I look all the spaces are full and I just want my shelf
I shed some tears and now it's clear that I just need some help
But for now I share my thoughts my fears and I just hope you care
And if you drive for me then I'll be okay
You make a vibe for me then I'll be okay
If you take time for me then I'll be okay
But would you cry if I die today and fly away
If you drive for me then I'll be okay
You make a vibe for me then I'll be okay
Take time for me then I'll be okay
But would you cry if I die today and fly away
So I'm feeling reflective
Tryna clear up all the tension
Cause every time in my life that I felt compromised is when I didn't have an answer for a Question
So I flip the tables
Perpetuate greatness
Excuse my lateness but I'ma grind until I see my payments
You always played your part though
It was always you from the start though
Always kept me safe out the gutter
Brought me right back from the rubble
Now I always stay fly
Cause I'm rolling with the Wright brothers
And I always stay high
Cause I'm cruising with the Skywalkers
And I hope I don't fall
Less I'm falling for you and in that case I would jump off
I know that God here is my saviour
And he sent you here to save me
I been cooped up in a cage
It's time for me to break free
The way you love me and don't discriminate
Are qualities I wanna demonstrate
Look in the reflection
And I figured out the message
Let your soul shine through
And be you-tiful
Without feeling any effort
I ain't smiled in a while
But it's easy when you're around
I ain't kinged for a while
So it's time I take my crown
Yeah
And if you drive for me then I'll be okay
You make a vibe for me then I'll be okay
If you take time for me then I'll be okay
But would you cry if I die today and fly away
If you drive for me then I'll be okay
You make a vibe for me then I'll be okay
Take time for me then I'll be okay
But would you cry if I die today and fly away

I trust in your support and guidance to help me through
You make a vibe for me then I'll be okay
Your positive energy and atmosphere helps me feel better
Take time for me then I'll be okay
I need your time and attention to help me get through this
But would you cry if I die today and fly away
Do you care enough about me to be upset if I were to pass away?
If you drive for me then I'll be okay
I trust in your support and guidance to help me through
You make a vibe for me then I'll be okay
Your positive energy and atmosphere helps me feel better
