Relikis Don't Despair (Feat. Casey Lippett)
Don't Despair
VERSE 1
What’s in a color man, can somebody tell me that?
How shallow are for just looking saying he’s a rat
You judging someone else, but you can’t even judge yourself
Take the dust out of your eye, then maybe then you could see right
That it ain’t about color of skin,
Or dogging somebody cause of where they live
Soulja ain’t even having it, oh what you gonna do when the hammers
hit
I know how it’s to be looked like, looked like as if if you a piece of
trash
I know how it’s to be looked like, like you ain’t even worth two-fifty
cash
CHORUS
Don’t Despair… I won’t despair…
Use your best to shine…
Give it all you got inside…
VERSE 2
You can’t let the suicidal thoughts, pollute your brain
Russian roulette took my friend’s life, it ain’t no game
16 years old man, I can’t believe that he passed away
Once I heard Ricardo had died I got down on my knees to pray
Say it ain’t so. It’s too surreal how could this have happened?
He never even got the chance to really grow or see me rapping
Don’t be another victim of the struggle that we go thru
Clouds might be surrounding ya, I’ve made it you can make it too
CHORUS
Don’t Despair… I won’t despair…
Use your best to shine…
Give it all you got inside…
VERSE3
Tell me are ya lonely, depressed or just feeling down
You feel your life is one big mess going around and around
Can you be forgiven for all those bad things that you’ve done wrong
Even with temptation in your mind going on and on
I’ve done my share I’ve done my wrong but yeah I’m still here
God helped me thru all those failures pains and them tears
You can relate to this because we all are breathing
You can be the best you can the one, just keep believing
CHORUS
Don’t Despair… I won’t despair…
Use your best to shine…
Give it all you got inside…
