Last night I was on the phone with my girl

But to me I was on the phone with the world

She always uplifting and tryna motivate

Not like other women shes tired of not having the record straight

She said peter I love you but you need to help yourself

Get on your feet or feelings may develop for someone else

I care about you forever and always

But you can't hang onto moments we had in the hallways

Outside of your music you really are nothing

You do make me smile but you can't live off my assumptions

You have no job and no car what do you offer?

You still go up to the park thinking youre a baller

Are you going to college are you ever moving out?

If you wanna keep me aorund you better do it now

It would really break my heart to say im leaving you

But the same reasons I would are the same reasons I belive in you

Hook

Im just a kid looking for a way out

I have to stand up no time to lay down

I can't ever let down the ones that I love

Knowing everything ive done wasn't enough

Verse 2

I hung up the phone knowing I needed to hear it

I had to go look in the mirror and promise not the fear it

I was sitting under a mountain compared to rock bottom

Then came an avalanche im looking up to a rock collum

Where im at right now it seems like everything falling down

Im over what you call the ground pick up the pieces to calm my doubt

Knowing my future a mansion while the past is a haunted house

Knowing im a good spirit but nothing to be flaunted now

With that said I ackowlegde this is my only chance

I have to try to live my life or die lonely man

Do it for me not for her love isnt always holding hands

This is do or die now or never or I won't advance

I have to risk it all just to live my dream

I gotta provide and survive even on different means

Time and effort go together both of them were missing me

But baby im coming back please dont look at me differently

I gotta start doing things moving things choosing things

Improving things only side effect im losing things

If im nothing outside of music then my chips on the table

You could never call my bluff when my life is in shambles

If no love is lost then everying is worth a gamble

If I need to play my cards right I promise to earn a handful

If this is the hand I was dealt I promise to lean a handle

From watching iverson and curry I promise to burn a ankle

I was caught up with people didn't know how to take it all

People sleeping on me was ironicallly my wake up call

Its funny how one phone call may change your life

I called her back said thank you I knew you were right
