Slow
The Graces Lyrics

They got me yelling out hope you hear me cry
I am desperately calling out for help, hoping that someone will hear my cries.

Holding on to the pain as I slowly die
I am clinging to my suffering even as it gradually eats away at me.

Up late night tossing and turning
I am unable to sleep peacefully, consumed by inner turmoil.

Because the drugs ain't working
The medications or substances I have been using to cope with my pain are no longer effective.

Pain in my head shoot through my body got my stomach turning
The profound agony I experience penetrates my entire being, causing physical and emotional discomfort.

I'm tryna win mama but the devil beating me down
I am striving to overcome my struggles, but it feels like I am constantly being defeated by inner demons.

He ain't never got me before but he got this round

He'll jump out his way and hold on for someone else
A man readily goes out of his way and supports others, but struggles to extend the same care to himself.

But won't do the same when he's the one needing help
