[Intro: Knox Hill]
Yeah, it's my healing music

[Verse 1: Knox Hill]
Alarm rings, still dreaming of them palm trees
Somewhere out in Palm Springs, play me some more psalms, please
Got my head up in my palms praying: please
Pay the fee, I been down, I been weak
I been sick o' counting sheep
Quick I'm drowning on my feet
Slip I balance on these feats
I been doubting all my dreams
I mean I need sleep
I feign for these beats
I bleed on these sheets
My dreams are in reach, so I'm singing, leaning:

[Chorus: McGwire]
Yeah, you know I'm still counting on you
Even if you're dead and gone
Know I'm still counting on you
Yeah!
Yeah, I'll never stop living my truth
'Causе I don't want to try alone
So I'm asking: "Please what do I do?"
Yеah!
[Verse 2: Knox Hill]
Lost my grandfather not a week ago
He used to pick me up from school and taught me what I need to know
But he got sick, dementia hit, disease had start to eat him whole
But I been on the road, trying to heat my flows and feed my home
That call came, on the video he had me shook
I called the airline, next plane my flight was booked
It was a rush, but I swore that I would make it
Pops picked me up from Dulles, I was praying he was waiting
We hit the Beltway, like damn, too much breaking
We tried to keep it cool, but I knew that fate was hating
I turned up the tunes we pushing through, I was mistaken
Twenty minutes out phone rings: "He didn't make it"
"What? Like what you mean he didn't make it?
I told him I was coming, what you mean? He should be waiting!"
I pulled up to his house, but that's now the wrong location
The angel's got his number, and his home's been elevated, damn

[Chorus: McGwire]
Yeah, you know I'm still counting on you
Even if you're dead and gone
Know I'm still counting on you
Yeah!
Yeah, I'll never stop living my truth
'Cause I don't want to try alone
So I'm asking: "Please what do I do?"
Yeah!
[Verse 3: Knox Hill]
Tell me things I didn't know
I let the bass cry, I don't think that I can give it hope
Two hundred in my pocket, I was hoping I could miss a go
I paid for the studio and let the speakers hit my soul
Wrong time I am in the wrong setting
But the music is the closest thing I can get to heaven
My tears fill this verse, I don't know who I'm affecting
I pour my heart into these rhymes, I hope you get the message
I come from PG, it's a land full of zeros
Without role models, but that man was my hero
So grandfather, I just hope I make you proud
May you play this up in heaven, and I hope it makes you smile
I just hope you looking down, your grandson is still grinding
Nah, I ain't make it yet, but it's all in good timing
I do this for my daughters and my wife who's right behind me
Until the day we meet again, just know I'll keep on climbing, 'till I see you at the top

[Chorus: McGwire]
Yeah, you know I'm still counting on you
Even if you're dead and gone
Know I'm still counting on you
Yeah, I'll never stop living my truth
'Cause I don't want to try alone
So I'm asking: "Please, what do I do?"
Yeah!
