Anxiety

Ok... Oh no! First I can't catch a breath

Feel the moisture as I begin to sweat

I start feeling dizzy like my balance left

And now my heart's beating like it's out my chest...

It's happening again... it's happening again...

But you can't tell nobody they gon' think you crazy...

It's happening again... it's happening again...

Just let it pass boy, you'll be good baby...

Waking up's a struggle, I used to wanna hustle

I used to want the whole world to know that I existed

Now I cuddle in the bed wit myself hoping the phone don't ring

Hoping a text don't come through, an email don't bling

I feel funny... Shouldn't I be happy? I get money

Instead I put on all new clothes and feel crummy

But I'm showing up for work like I'm A. ok

Anxiety? Who me? No way Jose...

I hide behind a smile while my mind is running wild

Nervous for no reason heart beating like a mile a minute

Where's the nearest bathroom, I'm in it

Splash some water on my face, wipe it dry, let's get it...

That's my life I'm a nutshell feel like I'm going nuts well

Let's keep it on the low, can't let 'em know that you ain't upscale

I shouldn't even carry real I.D.

Forgot what it feels like to really feel like me...

Ok... Oh no! First I can't catch a breath

Feel the moisture as I begin to sweat

I start feeling dizzy like my balance left

And now my heart's beating like it's out my chest...

It's happening again... it's happening again...

But you can't tell nobody they gon' think you crazy...

It's happening again... it's happening again...

Just let it pass boy, you'll be good baby...

Sometimes I hear a song and wanna cry

It brings me to before I was this guy and puts water in my eyes

I keep my faith strong, if there's a lord up in the sky

I pray that I feel happy one more time, before I die

I get glimpses then it's gone in an instance

Joys in front of me and then it's off in the distance

No one in my phone book I could call for assistance

Cause they won't understand what I be going through what is this?

Why won't it go away never thought I would know a day

That the ship captain started acting like a stow away

I'm thinking 'bout a meeting tomorrow with sweaty palms now

Like if I catch a panick attack, how can I calm down?

Nervous that I might feel nervous, what a vicious cycle

I see myself fading away without the vitiligo

I hit the gym and try to get off some steam

But I get anxiety just tryna pick a machine

Some pictures make me smile cause my figure was lean

And then the very next thought is I can't get in them jeans

Wish that I could go to sleep, wake up and life is sweet

But truth is I fight this beast in the middle of dreams

Ok... Oh no! First I can't catch a breath

Feel the moisture as I begin to sweat

I start feeling dizzy like my balance left

And now my heart's beating like it's out my chest...

It's happening again... it's happening again...

But you can't tell nobody they gon' think you crazy...

It's happening again... it's happening again...

Just let it pass boy, you'll be good baby...
