when your heart aches and life's too much to take just call on me

who's got your back when the sky turns black and not a single person out there knows how to act? / me, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's right, right

who can you call when the sky starts to fall and life's got you backed up against the wall? / me, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's right, right

I know nothing in the world makes sense these days and the problems that you're facing are immense in ways you never could predict with a crystal ball and at best it's a battle to feel nothing at all / waiting for something to fall and ease the pain / nobody feels the same, anger mixed with shame / no one to blame but that makes it worse / if someone was at fault at least that's someone to curse / someone to hurt as bad as you're hurt now but even thinking in those terms leaves you burnt out / no doubt / it's about as bad as bad can get / whitey's walking on the moon but ain't beat cancer yet / ain't got an answers yet for what you're going through / come to find out whitey's mom got cancer too / and it ain't like it helps to know he's going through that / 'cause the next man's pain don't bring your mom back

who's got your back when the sky turns black and not a single person out there knows how to act? / me, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's right, right

who can you call when the sky starts to fall and life's got you backed up against the wall? / me, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's who, that's right, right

I hope you know how many folks got you on their mind in these difficult times / this ain't your typical rhyme these are words from the heart / words meant to spark hope when days get dark / and I wish I knew just the right things to say to make the heartbreak fade away / but in the meantime I'm right by your side / (call on me) call on me homie don't be shy / and don't think I ever ain't got time / that'll be the same day I ain't got rhymes / and that there's a long way away / so if you need to get at me and if you want get at me today / even if you ain't got nothing to say / and you feel like you're fading away / hey I've been there and you helped me pull through / now I'm here for you

when your heart aches and life's too much to take just call on me
