Lift Me Up

I looked myself in the eyes and said out loud I'm depressed
Been thinking it for a while, had to get that weight off my chest
Admitting it is the hard part I'm not like the rest
Been running for so long I'm just looking for rest
It's been hard to relate to other people of late
Stuck up in my own head, laying alone in my bed
Like where's my energy
Memories of good days just been getting me down
I wonder if and when those days are coming back around
I can't even open up to my closest homies
The ones who really know me
Even though they care I'm still feeling lonely
I always keep a smile never let it show at all
Maybe one day in the future I can take that mask off
I've helped so many other but can't seem to help myself
From self medicating been numbing pain and just waiting
But it only fades when I'm faded
No drug can help me escape it they only keep it at bay
I need to keep meditating and really practice what I preach
Or all my dreams and aspirations will just stay out of reach
I've got to learn 'fore I teach
Got to be reborn 'fore I preach
Got to be bold for the meek
Got to be strong for the weak
And this pen is my weapon that turns my thoughts into speech
I can see just where I need to go
I need some motivation 'cause I've been anxious and I'm feeling low
So
I just thought I would let you know
What's going on in my mind
Feeling stress and I'm trying
To deal with all this anxiety

What's going on in my mind
I'm feeling stress and I'm trying
To figure out why everyday I'm feeling all this anxiety
Don't know where it's coming from
So I roll up another one
Now I'm just feeling stuck
I wish you could lift me up
I wish you could lift me up
I really wish you could lift me up
I wish you could lift me up
I really wish you could lift me up

Uneasy asking for help even when I'm going through hell
I'll carry this weight on my shoulders I'll bear this burden myself
We talk about mental health and trying to figure shit out
Then get lost in the screens we do this shit to ourselves
We using social media because the high is immediate
But it's leaving us empty
Breeding mental anemia
We be fiending for a like
Just to get through the night
This shit got me tight
'Cause people thinking it's right, but I'm like
I'm like
Yeah right
I'm like

What's going on in my mind
I'm feeling stress and I'm trying
To figure out why everyday I'm feeling all this anxiety
Don't know where it's coming from
So I roll up another one
Now I'm just feeling stuck
I wish you could lift me up
I wish you could lift me up
I really wish you could lift me up
What's going on in my mind
I'm feeling stress and I'm trying
To figure out why everyday I'm feeling all this anxiety
Don't know where it's coming from
So I roll up another one
Now I'm just feeling stuck
I wish you could lift me up
I wish you could lift me up
I really wish you could lift me up
