(Step out the house, step, step out the house)
(Step out the house, step, step out the house)
(Step out the house, stop short) Hey world
[Verse 1]
My mom and dad have been having a hard time
Hard for them to see their son in the state that I am
I can't imagine, that must be the worst
Give the gift of life and watch how much it can hurt, oh
I told the woman that I love, but don't see now
This pain's enough to make me not want to conceive a child
I don't want anyone to feel how I feel
How could I birth another knowin' they'll suffer like me? Wow
I called my grandmother, finally I broke down
I said I'm floating, Grandma, I got no ground
Everything I thought I knew I don't know now
I need to heal, I need help, I don't know how
She said "I love you, but listen to yourself a while
Just thinking of you you're bound to drive yourself wild
All consumed, it's not a healthy route
Best medicine for you is find some others you can help out"
Damn, her words hit me deep
I realized I'd been trapped in myself now for weeks
As she turned to me and offered me a true wisdom pearl
"You were put here on this Earth to help others" Hey world

Come out yourself now, come out your mind
Come back to health now, come back to life
Ancestral wisdom, come back, rewind
(Pull up, wheel up, bring it back come rewind!)
Come out yourself now, come out your mind
Come back to health now, come back to life
No one's an island come back outside
(Pull up, wheel up, bring it back come rewind!) a
[Verse 2]
I, looked at my grandma, knew that I had been blessed
But I resisted, I knew this was a real test
I was holding on to pain like my very breath
Like if I let go of that, there'd be nothing left
The roughest step is the one into the unknown
(step out the house) but my ego's saying run home
Cause if I reach out to others, put myself aside
I'd learn that what I thought was humble was a selfish lie
"I can't do nothing, I'm messed up inside"
Only to find my suffering is a space where I hide
Cause I'm so terrified to see the gift I can provide
Turns out being humble is letting your light shine, cause
The light I'm talking about, the world needs now
It's not for me and it's not meant to be locked in the house, so
I got to work and I did find out
Help other, heal yourself, turn it inside out, go
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
So I did finally come out the house
And saw what my grandma was talking about
And although the first steps were walking in doubt
I took a leap of faith, rain dancing in a drought
Reached out to my brother, hoping I could help
Only to discover that it brought me closer to myself
Lent a hand to my sister cause she was in need
Then caught a glimpse of happiness and saw it's bigger than me
C'mon
[Hook]
[Verse 4]
My mom and dad have been havin' a good time
Happy and retired and their son is doin just fine
I can't imagine, that must be the best
Care for someone so much, you worry about yourself less
I told the woman that I love that we'll meet again
And when it happens I would really love to be your friend
For now just let it mend, get our lives together and
When the time comes we can rejoice to bring another in
My grandmother will be happy as hell then
I hope she lives to one day meet my children
But either way they'll meet her through wisdom I'll be revealing
"You were put here on this Earth to help others"
-That's healing
