The Stars
I wanna be where all the stars are
Not on a red carpet, but I mean in the sky dazzling
Where y'all reminisce on my good moments
And wonder what happened to me
What drove me over the edge
If it was something you could've did
Where people who hated my guts
Will say how much I'll be missed
Those few people who'll know the truth
And point fingers at who's to blame
Meanwhile I'm in the skies
Where a child's wondering if I'm a star or a plane
Cause I'm sparkling
Think of me when you're sparking that blunt
When that toxic energy flows from your body
When that heavenly smoke fills your lungs
She was so happy
Never seen her without a smile on her face
Just know I wanted to be in a place
Where my smile couldn't help but stay
Here, my smiles are stolen and scripts are flipped to the point where my grin is turned upside down
Where my feelings of euphoria are finessed and sold and I wonder if its presence was ever around
Wish upon me
Pray to me, ask for my eyes to look over your risky actions
Don't dwell on what you should've told me
Or how you should've exposed that hidden attraction
Respect me
Respect the life I lived and save whoever else you can
Pay attention to those people who are cautious when you flip over their hands
And see those red bracelets that trail down their wrist
Embrace these words that have flown naturally from my lips
Because depression is always right in front of your face
Might be too late for me
But there are so many and sometimes so little signs that you could miss..
So just be there for people
Inquire and don't inspire to give lessons like me
See I had ropes around my neck for my entire life
I was barely hanging on but still struggling to breathe
Lived my life halfway on the stool
Either you wanna be here or you don't
And I've been reminded constantly but ignored it
But its probably best that I'm gone
Not on a red carpet, but I mean in the sky dazzling
Where y'all reminisce on my good moments
And wonder what happened to me
What drove me over the edge
If it was something you could've did
Where people who hated my guts
Will say how much I'll be missed
Those few people who'll know the truth
And point fingers at who's to blame
Meanwhile I'm in the skies
Where a child's wondering if I'm a star or a plane
Cause I'm sparkling
Think of me when you're sparking that blunt
When that toxic energy flows from your body
When that heavenly smoke fills your lungs
She was so happy
