    “It’s even scarier when you don’t have a reason to be down” that is the most powerful line I have ever heard because it is true you feel like you have to have a reason or else you are faking it

    I don't listen to rap. I'm a metalhead through and through. I bleed Metal. But ever since the first time I listened to your shit I've been hooked on you. You don't just talk about money and drugs and dancing and partying all the time. You hit home with real lyrics that mean something. This song is especially close to me, as depression is something I've dealt with my entire life. And on top of all that your flow is ridiculous. You make great stuff, man, keep doing what you're doing and you can change the world.

    Ripped jacket with the stains on the surface
    He was the kid that everyone was happy they weren't
    Sitting alone invisible to every passing person
    Wondering what it would feel like to have a purpose
    He never had a childhood
    Forced to parent his own parents like no child should
    His father is a veteran drowning his memories with liquor
    And his mother's taking pills that doctors give her but they only make her sicker
    With no sibling to walk through this stuff
    No ends, no money, no friends, no buddies, he ain't talking enough
    He don't put himself out there, he's awkward too much
    Well, who in his life would he learn confidence from?
    And he sits behind me in class
    One day I heard crying from the back
    Finally I turned around and I asked
    What was wrong
    And the first time I heard his voice
    He said "all I know is pain, if this is life, what's the point?
    Show me what happiness is...
    His voice gloomy he looked through me he said
    Show me where happiness is
    Desperateness on his face
    I didn't know what to say
    I couldn't think
    Show me where happiness is
    He put his head down
    And he didn't make a sound
    Show me where happiness is
    And I just froze
    Like I don't even know...
    Perfect makeup even though she don't need the extra touch
    She was the girl that every other girl was jealous of
    Silky hair, blue eyes, thin body with
    Curves, but her new clothes only cover parts of it
    She's almost looked at like a goddess to all
    Attracts every pair of eyes when she walks through the hall
    But she's likable too, she's not the one to gossip
    Evident when you talk to her, she ain't ever pompous
    Wealthy home filled with knowledge and newness
    She was the youngest out of 3 book smart students
    And her parents were so proud, pride was all around her
    But I always noticed something was a little off about her
    She sits in front of me in class
    One day I noticed heavy make up on her wrist when she passed papers back
    After class, I approached her and I asked about it
    She said it don't mean I have it if I'm around it
    Show me where happiness is...
    I looked into her eyes
    I saw her for the first time
    Show me where happiness is
    I saw regret
    She walked away in a sec
    Her voice rang through my head
    Show me where happiness is
    I watched her walk away
    She became another face
    What she say?
    Show me where happiness is
    And I just froze
    Like I don't even know
    I don't know because I ask myself the same thing every single day
    But every single answer has been vague
    How come some appreciate the sun after the rain
    While others just see the puddles as if nothing has changed?
    And as I watch people living the life I couldn't take, I wonder if they see a way out to mentally
    And as I watch people who live the life I idolize, I wonder what they feel and what isn't seen
    As I watch my whole family take pills for depression I wonder what true happiness really means
    I wonder if because I'm genetically predisposed to it, that is the reason I find myself feeling weak
    Only sometimes, in and out
    I guess it's scarier when you don't have a reason to be feeling down
    Sometimes I just am
    Sometimes I just feel no one will ever understand
    Sometimes I wanna cry
    Sometimes I want to crush my family's so-called medication look in their eyes
    And tell them they don't need it as long we just have each other
    But then sometimes I watch them suffer
    I just wonder where happiness is
    Show me where happiness is
    ------------------- Feel free to correct me, i will fix it. ----------------

I wasn't trying to be dick anyways I gave you $20. I just wanted to say i listened to your whole cd, and that shits hot i even got burned when i was holding it lmao. You got a lot of dope lyrics and talent. Shit that really hits home. I'm 32 and this song takes me back to when i was in high school. Your gonna make it 4show.

      Chris Jacobs Or witnessing anyone go through depression and leave physical scars. Man, I've seen it too much and talked to way too many people about it. Leaves you left wondering how your psyche handles over time. I've dealt with sadness for a long time, been through some stuff, but I surrounded myself with the wrong minded people when I was younger. Misery loves company. Never brought myself to harm myself, but god damn, I've witnessed too much shit to say I'm okay when I see slit wrists or people turning to any drug for their problems. When I see scars or someone strung out, man. All I wanna do is get mad, scream at them and try to make them understand their choices effect others. At what point in time is your self destruction enough? At what point in time do you realize you don't have to give up?!
