Jean Grae - Live 4 U

[Verse 1]
It's kinda hard to explain
But I been thinking, haven't come to a decision
Drinking away the pain night after night, listen
It's like I'm caught in the rain, that never stops and only follows me
Wide, hollow feeling of emptiness, nothing inside of me
Drama lays my head on the pillow, but still no sleep
Been walking the Wonderland for 40 days and 7 weeks
Just wondering how good it would be, to finally say goodbye
To everything that's going wrong, God, especially me
I wanna let go, let my mind just finally be free
Breathe with no echo, tomorrow won't be less without me
I stay in wet, though. Only thing that keeps me on the side of the living is you
Said the same thing to me, too
Otherwise, I'm just caught up in deception and lies
I have days of just waking and hating the sunshine
Hating life itself, hating death for taking its time
Loving you enough not to commit the ultimate crime
I sin in my mind though, visions of weaponry wettin’ me up
Paying people off for setting me up
Some crazy, wild, sick imagery, painting pictures of bloody scenes
Seems the only peace of mind is in dreams
So I pray for never-ending sleep, but it never comes
So I pray for being so weak and giving up
Friends say I live the party life, living it up
One hand on the glass, other on the bottle, filling it up
I wanna leave so bad, but loving you is enough
To make a slow exit to Hell, would never leave you here by yourself
Nobody else could keep me here but you
Nobody else could wipe away the tears but you
I love you too much

[Hook]
I would, give my, life for you
If you asked me to
I would do just anything for you
And the world if I could
I would give to you
But I don't have anything to give
So I swear just to live for you
Live for you
[Verse 2]
Are you disappointed in me? Twenty-three, can't get it together
No money, no job, debt that seems to last forever
I just wanna make you proud someday
Like accepting awards that's in front of a crowd and say "Thanks" in front of a million people
Tell you I've falling victim to some evil things in the past
My road's been short but rough—a lot of things you don't know even if you ask
I wanna tell you all but I can't—you're too precious for that
Try and explain why your daughter is into rap
I'm like guilt with a guilty conscience
Emotional politics wild on me
Constantly pregnant with a rowdy problem child in me
I wonder if we switched places, changed the dial on me
Would you rather be somebody else's mommy? Divorced probably
Disown me, no apology needed—I understand the reason
It's the quality of living and what you want for children
I'm not giving it, but you're the kind of love that never gives up

[Hook]
I would, give my, life for you
If you asked me to
I would do just anything for you
And the world if I could
I would give to you
But I don't have anything to give
So I swear just to live for you
Live for you

[Verse 3]
I promised I'm gonna buy you that house on the beach
A whole damn street
And give you grandchildren, two maybe three
Build you a studio and get you back to recording
And singing whenever you want, give you whatever you want
I know you miss the music too, you just put up a front
But I can see it in your eyes, musical echo soul cries to be free
Don't you worry about me
I'm gonna be all right, when I'm in darkness, you’re my light
I just think different—like you taught me
The way you do, shine different—they all can see
I just wanna tell you you're loved
And anything that I can ever do for you is never enough
It's never enough, it's never enough

[Hook]
I would, give my, life for you
If you asked me to
I would do just anything for you
And the world if I could
I would give to you
But I don't have anything to give
So I swear just to live for you
Live for you
