J'mere - Worth It Lyrics

Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Are you hurting
Is it working
Do you believe
You got a purpose
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Are you hurting
Is it working
Do you believe
You have a purpose
Is it worth it
Is it worth it

I don't want you to turn up just listen to how I feel
I ain't gone say I'm known but I'm known for keeping it real
Lot of y'all need to cool out all that partying popping them pills
Cause some of y'all so burned out and ain't even grown to turn the wheel
Started smoking at 15 and I wish I took my time
But I was a youngin' and didn't know nothing
Truth be told it be slowing me down
But I love the feeling
**** yeah it be getting me lifted
But it also cost me time and make it harder for paying attention
See I can admit it when I get too twisted
It's fun for the moment in time I'll be Whitney
I'm kinging like Bobby and bobbing and weaving
And dodging all problems while fighting off demons
Go cleanse your spirit and go an get right with yourself
Cause life is way too precious you too young to diminish your health

Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Are you hurting
Is it working
Do you believe
You got a purpose
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Are you hurting
Is it working
Do you believe
You got a purpose
Is it worth it
Is it worth it

I hate to sound all preachy and s*** cause I ain't no preacher and s***
But when I previewed this the people needed it like
Like babies need formula this s*** so informative
And now that I'm growing up it's time to inform the kids
Cause I was so fortunate given the guidance and power for me to ignore the s***
So parents I'm begging you please spend time with ya kids so they know what's important here
Again I'm not preaching or teaching or nothin my love for the kids is so sincere
It's merely a message I gotta address it my time is the richest thing I can spare
So if you need me I'll be by your side
You can call me my numbers the same

Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Are you hurting
Is it working
Do you believe
You got a purpose
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
Are you hurting
Is it working
Do you believe
You got a purpose
Is it worth it
Is it worth it
