about

We all go through days where we question ourselves. Question our self worth. Question our reasons for doing what we do, how we do it. We succumb to life's stresses. Life's distractions. We lose self control. We let our guard down momentarily. Our moment of weaknesses. Check this one out. Big shouts to my dude John John for coming through on this one. Salute the homie 1988 on the beat. Wheww!!

lyrics

...The moment when you hit your weakest point
You start to question everything like what's the freaking point
You put it all on the table to no avail
It's like the cosmos conspired for you to fail
Ya whole world hanging by a thread, and you leaning against the rail
On the verge of taking a plunge, cause ya confidence is frail
Prides been locked in a cell, you a dollar short on the bail
Doing all you can to prevail but this spell i's getting stale
Psychology is frail, salty tears fill the pail
You in need of a break from this madness, like what the hell!
A cracked shell, the makings of a sad tale
Sometimes in that mental state all you need a pal's help
Positive reinforcement to stay reminded of your worth
'Cause while grinding we're so blinded in our worldly bubbles
In a whirlwind of trouble gotta beat this
The sickness that ultimately defeats us

Hook:

...the moment when you at your lowest
When peers lure you to follow and go with status quo...its
Adverse to your belief system but you just trying to fit in
But it's just not in you to spark up any friction
You try disguising your disapproval with body language that's fraud
If your folks only knew it'd be a stab in the heart
It's not, how you were raised, you just crave the attention
Trying to be something you're not...just a slave to the ascension
Of social status... a case of blind sheep in the flock
Stand on your own don't be a clone trying to be on the block
Hustlin...or at the party spot guzzling
Or uffing with drugs, without a rubber, steady busting in
Women to get a rep, watch ya step and the company kept
Take a moment to reflect on these words I project
Just be yourself and be true to you cause the God's in you...believe this
The sickness that we gotta defeat is called

Hook:

Now the insanity of vanity
Deeper than mirror reflected imagery...it's the man in me
Discontent with God's perfect image...how can it be?
Propaganda through media outlets to scam the weak
Beauty's subjective through a perfectionist lens
Pay it no mind if you respecting yourself
Leave those opinions to be kept to themselves
Treat em like over-hyped flop artisst whose records didn't sell and got left on the shelves
Walk proud with your head high and keep it moving
Seek improvement from within dont let the schemers ruin
Your purpose for living in this unforgiving world that's cold
Not surprised the target market is for girls that old
Body image cause sex sells, to excel
Sell sex well, while their pockets waiting to exhale
Capitalism is breathing, seems we're retreating to the demons
A lot teens get succumbed to all this weakness...
