Only If You Listened

I’m sick of this
In the midst of this complaining
There’s not one thing you are thankful for
Hm. I guess it’s more fun saying
How bad your life is even if you’re rich
While these little ghetto kids would kill to lick porridge
Every time you pout and cry, I swear I get more sick
Want some crackers with that whine, conceited poor kid
Truthfully how you refuse to be happy is pitiful, but it amuses me
You eat five meals a day and get a free education
Full ride to college and no debt you payin'
What about your life really ain’t all that easy
You think it’s all bad ‘cause you dealt with some teasing
You’re mad at your parents ‘cause they called you needy
Your hoodie has a hole in it and now you are grieving
Your life could be harder
What is a bully compared to a bomber
You ever tried to go to school but you got shot up
Do you drink unfiltered water ‘cause you can’t go to Wal-Mart
You don’t have to hunt for your nourishment
You should pray to God, I really encourage this
‘Cause the path you’re on now is anything but righteous
Turn your life around, you’re more bad than Mike was
Jesus is the savior
Say goodbye to sin, I won’t see you later
Trusting Him will teach you to be more appreciative
You will get the strength to kill giants like King David
Your misery will fall like Jericho
Part ways with your past like there it go
God will make you 360, merry-go
Quit complaining when life seems scary, bro
I’ve been hurting for so long and I just need someone to listen
You keep talkin' ‘bout your God, I know you’re on a mission
I don’t need your judgement, I need grace
Tonight’s the night I seal my fate
You could’ve stopped me only if you listened. Listen
You think that you know me
You think that you know me
What I need is a friend
I am always so lonely
You don’t even care to ask how my day was
You think everything’s groovy ‘cause I make bucks
When you judge me, do you even say a prayer
You flippin' pharisees are always fast to fling rocks
Everything sucks. But you don’t understand why
Every single night through my mumblin' cries
You just wanna judge. What do you know? Nada, bruh
Do you ever wonder why I cut and rub erasers on my skin till it burns like lava
does
The trauma of being diagnosed with depression is something that’s outta control
If my parents got an «A» for every fight that they fought, they would be honor
roll
Plus my hoodie got a hole after the bully beat me up
After my parents beat me up. Now everybody sees the cuts
On my wrist that I made with my blade
But you wanna tell me how I’m saved by faith
You should really keep your beliefs private
You and Christ don’t match up like blind dates
You’re really gonna regret ignoring me
I’m gonna record this for every girl and boy to see
This is the result of being judged, abused, and friendless
I hate my life. It’s time to end it
I’ve been hurting for so long and I just need someone to listen
You keep talking ‘bout your God I know you’re on a mission
I don’t need your judgement, I need grace
Tonight’s the night I seal my fate
You could’ve stopped me only if you listened. Listen
This nightmare I was quite scared to turn reality
The struggle of judgin' others was so real to me
Some of my peers cut themselves, so I feared it resulting in
Suicide, my stupid pride made it dumb to feel blue inside
They just wanted me to listen
I tried to offer them some wisdom
I didn’t try to learn their views
Now we have grown distant
Used to think depression could be easily turned off
That was pretty ignorant
I always think that life could be so much harder
Well, that’s true, isn’t it
Well maybe. But not in every circumstance
Some don’t comprehend the way that God inserts His plans
As Christians we know what our God given purpose can do
But some strugglers don’t know how to handle
It. All I can do is make amends
I was insensitive even back when we was friends
I told you what to do without knowing your P.O.V
But my intentions were to point you to my G.O.D
You still need to see, Jesus' death on the cross saves for eternity
I still don’t get depression, but I know how to be free
No matter what, I’m just one phone call away if you need me
LORD, I’m begging for forgiveness
And I’m praying for compassion
Help me to know when to listen
And when it’s time for some action
If you have a friend that’s going through some tough times
Don’t make the same mistakes that I did with my young mind
Assure them that they can make it through this rough grind
And do everything you can to show them God’s love shines
