[Verse 1]
(Oh)
'Fore you take all those pills and take your life
(Oh)
'Fore you hang yourself or put that gun to your head
(Oh)
Understand what you leave behind, oh
[Verse 2]
I know you've been feelin' suicidal (I know), uh, uh, uh
I know you've been feelin' suicidal (I know), uh, uh, uh
[Verse 3]
Nobody told you "I love you", I love you, I promise I mean it
(I love you)
I know all them problems you facin' be hurtin', you know it ain't easy
(I know it ain't easy)
They think that you strong, you hidin' them problems
So they don't believe you (So they don't believe you)
Where all the love? Where all the love when you need it? (Need it)
I know it feel like ain't nobody got your back (I know it)
Don't you do your family like that (Don't do that)
Once you do it, no, it ain't no comin' back (It ain't no comin' back)
Go get some help and try to get yourself on track
[Verse 4]
Before you take all them pills (Stop)
Stressin' 'bout all them bills (Yeah)
They don't see all your struggle (They don't)
They ain't seen you climb them hills (They didn't)
Know you ain't got nobody (I know it)
Every time shit get real (Every time)
I know you don't think that God got you (I know you don't)
But I know He will (He will)
[Verse 5]
All of them nights you were cryin' it up
All of them problems kept addin' up (They addin' up)
All of that money wasn't good enough (I know it)
It be a blessing, right after, it's tough (Man)
You gotta hold on (Hold on)
You gotta stay strong (You gotta stay strong)
You loved them, and they broked your heart (I know it)
But you gotta move on (You gotta move on)
[Verse 6]
Look in the mirror, you're beautiful (Look at you)
I know you get tired of 'em usin' you (I know you do)
I'm tryin' my best to get through to you (I'm tryin')
'Cause I know what the devil tryin' do to you (I know it)
Here go my hand, hold it (Hold it)
Here go my ears, talk to me (Talk to me)
I got your back (I got you)
'Cause I know you weak (I know it)
[Verse 7]
Nobody told you "I love you", I love you, I promise I mean it
(I love you)
I know all them problems you facin' be hurtin', you know it ain't easy
(I know it ain't easy)
They think that you strong, you hidin' them problems
So they don't believe you (So they don't believe you)
Where all the love? Where all the love when you need it? (Uh)
I know it feel like ain't nobody got your back (I know it)
Don't you do your family like that (Don't do that)
Once you do it, no, it ain't no comin' back (It ain't no comin' back)
Go get some help and try to get yourself on track (Go get some help)
[Verse 8]
Rest in peace, Quentin Jackson (Rest in peace, man)
Still don't know what happened (I don't)
Shoulda picked up the phone and talked to you (I shoulda)
That shit hurt me bad (It hurt me)
We been tryna give folks tough love (Tough love)
When we don't give them enough love (Not enough)
I know your problems been unfoldin' (I know 'em)
Put that gun down and unload it (Put it down)
[Verse 9]
Just stop one day and tell 'em you love 'em (Tell 'em you love 'em)
You don't know how much that means (How much)
Know they always got a smile on they faceĀ (I see you smilin')
But things ain't as good as they seem (They not)
Just hug 'em right now and tell 'em you got 'em (Just tell 'em)
You don't know how much that helps (You don't know)
Yeah, we know e'rybody out here facin' problems (Facin' problems)
But it's hard to face the problems yourself (It's hard)
[Verse 10]
I know you fed up (I know you fed up)
Just hold your head up (Hold your head up)
The devil gon' let up (The devil gon' let up)
'Cause God got you (God got you)
Ain't nobody else won't be there for you, then I got you (I got you)
I got you (I promise), yeah, yeah, yeah

I know you've been feelin' suicidal (I know), uh, uh, uh (I'm here)

Nobody told you "I love you", I love you, I promise I mean it

They think that you strong, you hidin' them problems
So they don't believe you (So they don't believe you)
Where all the love? Where all the love when you need it?
