[produced by k-wak]

[narration: k-wak]
“yo”
“let me tell you a story”

[verse 1: k-wak]

it all started back in primary school
my brother jake made a friend, and the timing was cool
because he just moved there, and though he kinda stuttered a bit
jake and homey made a brotherly clique (uh)

they used to kick it, every day of the week
sleepover til the am, then stay up and eat
you couldn’t separate the two, yin and the yang
they were blood brothers, man i thought they’d been in a gang

but no, that was the friendship that they had developed
i used to watch them play sports and i’d get kinda jealous (oops)
we played tigi during recess and lunchtime
and jake would always win, so i’d head back and hunch mine

i often wondered why their life was so absolute
jake’s life was blossoming and my life was lackin’ fruit
but then i noticed something different, after sayin’ that
i saw jake, but his friend never came back

[chorus: jo-ann torpy & k-wak]

i’m stranded
i can’t do this on my own
and if you planned this
why am i feelin’ so alone?
cause i can’t face another day
until you make these fears all go away
go away

[hook: jo-ann torpy & k-wak]

cause i can’t do this
i know, know, know, go away

[narration: k-wak]

“when jake’s friend left”
“things changed a bit”
“jake started to find a new hobby”
“let me tell it”

verse 2 (k-wak)

high school, that was crazy dawg
it might sound kinda loony and i may be wrong
but yo, jake’s musical ability was seriously mad
the epitome of cl-ss

i never saw him even look at a book in his life
but then he droppin’ all these beats, this rookie was nice
we all knew that he had a gift (we all knew)
it was so clear, it couldn’t be missed

years past and he was only gettin’ better
years past his hand were gettin’ redder
a trendsetter, workin’ so hard, he never let up
no vendetta, never frontin’ ever, he knows better (uh)

jake played at the graduation service
and i stared the guy down, but i swear he wasn’t nervous
i still remember thinking ‘how he even do this?’
unless he got a call from god to do music

[chorus: jo-ann torpy & k-wak]

i’m stranded
i can’t do this on my own
and if you planned this
why am i feelin’ so alone?
cause i can’t face another day
until you make these fears all go away
go away

[hook: jo-ann torpy & k-wak]

cause i can’t do this
until you make these fears all go away
ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
let em’ go away, let em’ go away

[narration: k-wak]

“after graduation”
“i never really saw jake very much”
“i started working, started uni and…”
“i didn’t really hear from him”

[verse 3: k-wak]

jake was doing good, that’s what i heard anyway
then i got a text, sayin’ that i really gotta pray
i was confused, so i asked him what’s goin’ on?
bruh, what’s goin’ on? huh, you goin’ strong?

there was a pause, it felt like a year though
i knew it wasn’t good, but tried to let the fears go
i started shakin’, when i heard what he told me
he said jake is suicidal, he tried to o.d

i dropped everything and ran to the driver’s side
suddenly, all the times i used to idolize jake didn’t matter
it didn’t matter, i know jake
and the thought of losing him, left me shattered

i’m running outta feelings to feel, the feeling’s surreal
my friend took his life, nearly sealin’ the deal
i’m prayin “god have mercy” as i’m steerin’ the wheel
he’s too young, lord i know ya hearin’ me spill

me and jake’s friend drove to the spot
knowin’ that we gotta see a miracle, or he’s not gonna make it
he couldn’t take it, and so he walked in
and thank god, jake was still alive, fully talking

it wasn’t over tho, the thoughts kept coming
“you look kinda bummy, you’re not good at drumming”
oh, but it was worse this time, i ain’t just sayin’ that
playin’ back thoughts of jumpin’ in front of train tracks

he had it all figured out, the end date in mind
couldn’t look at himself, it’s all hate inside
but we paid him a visit, by surprise
jake’s best friend and i, we couldn’t let him say goodbye

we started praying, for god to resurrect him
and show himself to jake, cause he really needs protecting
the fear left him, and to give y’all better glimpse
he’s been living life ‘depression-free’ ever since
