I wrote this song about my battles with depression back in 2015 and finally got around to recording and releasing it this year around blue monday to raise mental health awareness and share my experiences. Lyrics below:
Hook (x2)
Feeling really stressed I know,
I’m so familiar to the lows,
I hope and pray for better days,
i really need to get away!
Verse 1
From where I’m standing at today,
Wake up go to work get paid,
Wake up go to work get paid,
The monotony drives me insane! (ahhh)
The whole lifestyle just aint the way!
(I) know I’m destined to be great,
Whole reason (why) I left JA,
Come to London, make a name,
Black timing got me late,
So I need to raise the stakes,
indecision, lack of vision wound me up in Uni’
But I’m grateful for the friends I made,
It made me hungry to be great,
This dream ain’t just for me, the whole team guh get this cake!
Hook (x2)
Feeling really stressed I know,
I’m so familiar to the lows,
I hope and pray for better days,
i really need to get away!
Verse 2
Never took anti depressants,
Just Kid Cudi tunes and smoking on essence,
Locked in day and night I felt helpless,
Solo dolo despite all my friendships,
Losing faith no church to confess in,
Kush OJ yeah Wiz was the reverend (Pastor Wiz, pass the riz)
Preaching facts and the statements set in,
Weren’t the life that I chose,
But it’s the life I was living,
And as long as life is living,
Then thanks should be given (Praise Jah!),
Darkest before dawn, so just know seh,
The light a guh kick in & I know what u thinking,
All this can’t be Lumos he’s always grinin’
But you see thats the problem with depression its so well hidden
Said I’m
Hook (x2)
Feeling really stressed I know,
I’m so familiar to the lows,
I hope and pray for better days,
i really need to get away!
Verse 3
Man up!
Get outta bed and stand up!
Face the world it aint that tough!
Just get on with it like us!
I’m not like you,
In a place thats cold and cruel,
When I wake up the sun don’t shine,
All I feel is darkness consume,
No theres nothing you can do,
Maybe change your tone would you,
You ain’t sympathising you’re patronising
and it aint cool
So don’t talk down to me
‘Cus im so so low,
Watch the vibe you bring
or I’ll go solo
Said I’m so so low
Yea I’m so solo
Don’t talk down to me
‘Cus im so so low,
Watch the vibe you bring,
Or I’ll go solo
Yea I’ll go solo
Now I’m so solo!
Hook (x2)
Feeling really stressed I know,
I’m so familiar to the lows,
I hope and pray for better days,
i really need to get away!
