So build me up

And take me home

I'll leave behind this concrete pillow

Yeah I know it's hard to see the future and imagine it's bright

I have dimmed my lights down I keep crashing at night

With every foster home I'm roster in I'm highly distorted

And the pain ain't going nowhere I don't try to avoid it

Adapted to nightmares so it is hard to stay focus

But homie I've been homeless I struggle to know what hope is

Told my bro hold tight a cold night and I hate it

Sleep through the horrors dawg not to know if I make up

Used to scrunch up newspaper stuck it under my jacket

Underneath the layers homie I was broken and damaged

Often wondered what happened if I am loving and happily

I ain't used to it dawg I am destruction and havoc

Sometimes it's too much to bare can you carry my load

I know the streets snatch you up so we rarely die old

I used to sleep next to bakeries to gain some warm

It's kind crazy how you save me in the heart of the storm

So build me up

And take me home

I'll leave behind this concrete pillow

So build me up

And take me home

I'll leave behind this concrete pillow

My decisions are haunting me I am staring at fate

And you ain't missing much then watching me deteriorate

Like an undeveloped form which was born for life

Instead tortured in darkness and torn from light

And my burden is so heavy that my neck is weak

Use concrete as a pillow yes I slept on streets

And I don't understand why its rest in peace

Even tho it ain't an option for most that left deceased

I can greet you with a smile while I'm calling your name

Underneath my grin homie there is torture and pain

And the burden I'm carrying is now a ball and chain

I often run in sunshine then I walk in rain

It's the tune that sooths me it pours like medicine

My music can tell my story more than I ever can

I ain't tryna get sympathy or blow up my chest

It's the only way homie I release all my stress

So build me up

And take me home

I'll leave behind this concrete pillow

So build me up

And take me home

I'll leave behind this concrete pillow

It's a concrete pillow

It's a concrete pillow

Lost and lonely and I'm just a shadow

Concrete pillow

It's a concrete pillow

Lost and lonely and I'm just a shadow

So build me up

And take me home

I'll leave behind this concrete pillow

So build me up

And take me home

I'll leave behind this concrete pillow
