Calico - Halfway

★ intro ★
Yeah, real talk, i'll wreck these stages, yeah, haha

★ verse 1 ★
Yeah, a lot of us struggle, they dont really wanna
But their souls are troubled, they just really wanna find
Peace and love or maybe they're like me
And wanna stay in their rut
No, i made this album for a reason
Reflection is the only way to see your freedom
You gotta fight this pain, the one and true healing
Calico wanted to be freed, so, they freed him
I went to so many people for advice, they told mе how to live life
But they wеre depressed themselves, you can't even sell
The bad thoughts it dwells, words can't explain what feels like hell
Or maybe they can, pain, suffering, death, and no lifespan
That's what my mind felt like, two years ago
But now i'm back and ready to help the people at death row
With suicidal thoughts, you want them to smile everyday
And pretend that their pain is no more, what are you looking for?
Yeah, what are you looking for?
You want them to smile? you want them to laugh?
Then you find out that they put on a mask and then you get mad
You really don't understand, you do not understand, no
I have seen so many kids slitting their wrists
What do you want from them, huh? a smile? a laugh?
They do not want to exist, no, some of them have come up to me
Begging for help, this society has ruined these kids
You're making them feel like hell
I was one of these kids, i was one of these kids
Thinking i should never exist, just crying and suffering
And thinking that i will never fit in
Tese thoughts come in the millions, thinking they will always be alone
I want this nation of people to listen to this 'cause this will hit home
I've been through the mud, don't get me started
I've hated and waited and prayed for a day
Where i planned to be departed, if you get what i mean
But don't be disheartened, i ain't the type to be quiet
I do not care what they think, i do not fear in the silence
I fear in the nothing, i just got god with me, i will never be quiet, no
I found a purpose and that was my music
Money? fame? girls? it's so stupid
I write for the people who say their excluded
My name will help and motivate the included
Chas west is my name, i will make it known
I promised myself, now it's written in stone
I'll never forget when i was down and so low
I'll rise again, no respect for low blows
Our minds are so different, overthink at the slightest
Things people say, it's not fun, not the brightest
But most of the time we are always the wisest
One step ahead, our brains are just the ripest
We know when they're lying, we know when they're fake
We know 'cause our brainsa are just always awake
"you're a mistake, you're a mistake"
That's what we think on the daily, not great
Tears in their eyes as they're crying
It hurts to watch, it hurts to see with no help
But that's exactly what i went through
When they said they won't be any help
That's what they said, that's what they said
I was completely alone for one year, too scared to say anything
So, i just put on my mask and wiped all my tears
"you're not a mistake, you're here for a reason"
"i know that i can't convince you, i know that i can't convince you"
But god gave me a gift and i'm ready to speak it
I beat the fear, i beat the fear, i stabbed it and jabbed it
My hand is now bleeding, i'll fight for you guys, i'll fight for you guys
I'll take this crowd from seeing to believing
"you're not alone, you're not alone"
These are more than just words, these are more than just words
This is why i made calico, this is why i made calico
Ya hear me? i said, "do you hear me?"

★ outro ★
Do you hear me? do you hear me?
Do you hear me? do you hear me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you hear me? no, you don't
Yeah, i do, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
