about

You need it. And that's okay.

lyrics

CHORUS:
People always need it but they don't get it.
'Cause they don't get it that they always need it
People always need it but they don't get it.
'Cause they don't get it that they always need it.
People always need it but they don't get it.
That’s help. That’s help.


VERSE ONE:
That's a four letter word I’ve observed
that creates mild panic in most folks when it’s heard.
Never know when shit's coming like a bucket full of turds
thrown at Nerds - find that you just can't manage what occurs.
That's not always the deal, but when it is, some conceal
their lack of skill to handle it rather than reveal
that support is required. “You'll only be admired
if you do it all yourself. Like who would ever aspire
to need someone else to do it for them, is a liar
or a lazy S.O.B.” is your conceit. But that’s just tied up in ya
ego and desire to never owe anything to anyone. That's the life ya
wanna lead. You don't wanna heed the warnings or read the signs
like stars in the sky that you can’t see, blinded by the lights,
or like spots in a scan seen hiding in your hide, you might
try to ignore. Try explore new styles and get help.

CHORUS

VERSE TWO:
Be a stuck-up, ignorant fuck and keep insisting
that you don't need assistance. You're just being an ass in that instance.
Resistant to use your head instead.
Pride is your guide that leads to accidents in an instant.
Yo, listen - I know you wouldn’t see a therapist,
‘cause who in their right mind would find joy facing their scary shit.
But that’s tough love, y’know. It’s tough, luv. You go
kick rocks or pick lots of others to blame for how you suffer. Ok.
It’s not enough to just say "I'll do better."
That's not a very clever way to stay away from
doing necessary work to traverse hardships. Aww shit,
you’re gonna have to have an honest talk wit’
yourself at some point in the future. Just use the
opportunity presented here - ignore the fear,
that seeking help’s a sign of weakness. That’s some weak shit
put upon you by society at large. Yo, tell ‘em off, do what you want to.
But won’t you consider having backup? Too many have their back up
at the thought of being helpless, so that’s what
they’re clearly fighting against. Not really righteous defense.
But it’s that slightest offense, that makes families act up.
And that’s the point that I’m trying to make -
when you don’t speak to ya fam ‘cause they’re trying to take
you out a bad spot you hate and you lacked the mind to escape,
it’s gotta hurt them as much as it hurts you, so just take help.

CHORUS
