"Jonah"

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own

Hard to keep my focus on what matters

Mandem hit my line like, "Some - just got hit up on your block"

You can rest assured it's not us

'Causе we been out the wave catching wavеs

They say, "We ain't seen you on the block"

'Cause I been out the way

Chasing millions in my sleep, I found the better way

Somewhere on an island, let me kick it, this my getaway

I pour up a drink for all my - who ain't see the day

Tryna finish this with who I started with

Way too many fallen soldiers, no, I can't forgot

Hope they got headphones up in Heaven

You can vibe out and just hear this s-

It's just certain - you can't forget

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own

Kanye and Jay still brothers, they both billionaires

And we ain't see it, I lost my brother when we was millionaires

I wasn't scared to die, but him, that was my biggest fear

I got your son and your daughter like you still here

Know how it feel to lose a brother, we got a bond still

26 years, pops got out to see his son killed

And I don't give a fuck if I hang with a Crip, I see blood still

I can be the cleanest millionaire, I'm from the mud still

Died with his chains on, I call it blood diamonds

It's to the point I drop my own lo' so they could find us

And it's been months and they still haven't

Kanye did it for the city, he co-signed

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own

Smoke a opp pack, ain't funny like that

It get ugly like that, can't get no money like that

Holy Father, please, let me step in

Can't talk to buddy like that, it get bloody like that

Whole lotta steppers and they stepping

And they sunny like that, and they coming right back

And when you on tour, bet you check in

'Cause my guy back to work, it's a Monday like that

And when you text, change the beginning of every word

You speak to me with only no cap, me and your big homie go back

Homie don't rap, you don't know me like that

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own

Like who's here when I need a shoulder to lean on?

I hope you're here when I need the demons to be gone

And it's not fair that I had to fight 'em all on my own
