Brii Alexandria - Jonah's Journal Lyrics

Don't you ever let a shattered dream and broken heart give you a vision
Pain only hears provision
You hear me
You hear me

Gave some company to my misery
I was a fool to think it wouldn't
Swallow me whole
Swallow me whole
Aye
Gave some company to my misery
I was a fool to think it wouldn't
Swallow me whole
Swallow me whole

I done heard it all
Probably seen it all
Used to get so high
I was scared to fall
Heard them demons call
Had to risk it all
So weak in the knees
I was scared to crawl

Reminiscing on my ignorance is bliss
Under pressure for a culture living in abyss
Apocalypse

Tryna hold it together
Couldn't cry no more
I will survive
Or Ima die for sure

Just wanted some peace
For the stormy weather
I was barely breathing
Knew I heard the devil

Pride was tryna dig a early grave
Tryna do it on my own the opposite of being saved
Some hell to pay

Till the kingdom come
Thy will be done
Tryna gain some hope
Tryna see the son

I was running away
I was living a lie
Just afraid to live
But I ain't wanna die

A fugitive to my destiny
They told me I was crazy when I heard them demons talking in my sleep

I muted myself
Wouldn't speak my mind
The underdog's
A little mastermind
I was a prodigy
They ain't listen to me
I was barely heard
But I could split the sea
They ain't like me then
But now they remember me
Please

Gave some company to my misery
I was a fool to think it wouldn't
Swallow me whole
Swallow me whole
Aye
I gave some company
I was a fool to think it wouldn't
It swallowed me whole
It swallowed me whole

Umbrellas for my emotions
It was raining inside
No parachute for the fall
Cause I was dropped from my pride
Way too hurt to analyze
But I was screaming at the sky
Like God why
I won't cry
Ride or die
Tell me why
Making decisions with no vision
Only thinking about provision
Not thinking about the consequences
Cause nobody listened
To me
Don't you tell me bout no story with no glory I can't see
Don't get trippy with me
Don't get trippy with me
Forgive me
I know that I sinned
The pressure got so deep
It's just cooking within
The opposite blends
These bitter roots grew fruit
It's a venoms loop
Not the goof of the troop
This ain't another trend
Inhaling bars
Feeling from my pen
Feigning for the lie's
Tryna shoot the proof
Looking for the hope
Tryna shoot the truth
Struggles internal
Wishing that I overcame the fire
By praying the memories burn away
Open up them flames
Never see em again

Gave some company to my misery
I was a fool to think it wouldn't
Swallow me whole
Swallow me whole
Aye
I gave some company to my misery
I was a fool to think it wouldn't
It swallowed me whole
It swallowed me whole
Aye
