Dont Do It

Often times
Strife will opt in to offing our minds
Feel forgotten
Somber optics see skies as sublime
Watch the clock tic
Plot the topic and jot a few lines
Rot in coffins
After dropping and coughing up slime
Emptying
Our ocean tides over drops in our lives
Not knowing some
Would fill our cups at the drop of a dime
You didn't have to
End it why not just drop me a line
I would've dropped
What I was doing fool and offered you time
Had he faked a smile
I'd a thought he'll be okay
Human tendency
To overlook and misevaluate
Feeling different's
No excuse to take yourself away
I say that with respect
Would never try invalidate your pain
Guess that's the difference between
Those who think and those who do
Most have thought it few will move
So most don't truly have a clue
Including me
Including you too I hope
Don't tie a noose to that rope
You got a future to grow
Remember glancing
At that balcony and having thoughts
Thinking what if
Hearses transport a magic box
Time traveling
Swiftly passing all the tragic stops
Endless darkness
Or eternal light with astral spots
Would've never
Graduated college Asher Roth
Would've never
Got to watch my son draw Kakarot
Don't let 'em fool you
Don't nobody live in Shangri La
We all go through it
We're just moving like we have to smile
Don't get me wrong
There's value in being positive
For the kids who feel like
I once did I know I gotta live
From the depths
Of depression now I'm prosperous
Tryna grow old and
See my grandkids rock their moccasins
If you're feeling blue
The logical thing to do
Is dial 1-800
