ANXIETY

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
Hoping my friends won't see me cry
Mama know best she don't see no signs...
Why? Why? Why?
A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
Hoping I find some peace of mind
Holding my breath, I need some time
Why? Why? Why?

"Hey bubby!
Hope you know, you have mummy
Don't be afraid to ask for me!"
Oh, well actually ma!
Why I feel like this?
My heart fast running!
Every time I

"Wait right quick!
You kids are brats to me!" (why)
"Kids these days just need an ass whooping!
Lucky I don't do what my dad would of
He'd have you pick a branch with him
Off the plants out back and lash with it
While my mama sat looking
Just for being sad looking!"

Oh
Thank you
It just all went away
Makes me wonder why I don't
Say shit in the first place
My heart just don't hit the brakes
At paces I couldn't race
It's hard to look in the face
Of people, my thoughts erase
I'm failing, not from mistakes
Nor attention, cause I paid!
Presenting in front of class
Reflected most of my grade
So guess who didn't show up?
It made me wanna

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
Hoping my friends won't see me cry
Mama know best she don't see no signs
Why? Why? Why?

Holding my breath, I need some time
Why? Why? Why?

Depression? Anxiety? Now that does not exist
Society, technology, brainwashing all the kids
Apparently
That's the way my parents see
Demand me be transparent, so here I am
"Where is he?"
Right here
"We lost him honey"
The point of that metaphor is
They really not hearing me regardless
Even if I show them exactly where the scar is
They will never see it 'cause they don't believe in sharp shit

And then they play the "bad parents" card
Most manipulative shit to put it past their regard
Now I'm over here just tryna tell my mama she the best
Did no wrong, and I mean it
But this ain't about my feelings anymore

Left alone again with all my thoughts, plenty long
I'm failing now, my teacher gave me time to make it up
Still got to present thought
I can write a song
But don't know if I'm brave enough

Hoping my friends won't see me cry
Mama know best she don't see no signs
Why? Why? Why?
A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
Hoping I find some peace of mind
Holding my breath, I need some time
Why? Why? Why?
