Look, it's been harder to eat, harder to sleep And since I made myself Bleed it's been harder to C To see why I should stick around, I been wanting to leave The only one who had my heart had departed from me I made mistakes, looked away, betrayed her faith And though I ain't follow through I could still taste her pain I convinced myself she wanted me to fadeaway And started jumping through hoops so I'd erase the blame I told myself being alive would only bring my people burden I felt like my show was over, time to close the curtain I felt sad, I felt worthless, but felt certain That saying goodbye would only help who I was hurting So that's the plan say goodbye get up and go Stop going through the unnecessary rigamarole You said you wanted me gone, and it sticked in my soul But looking back maybe I coulda used a different approach But then again who am I gonna tell my family They gonna look at me different and think the man weak And I can't keep on pretending that shit is dandy A nigga outta options I'm really missing a plan b So every cut is a reminder I can feel pain Psych ward what convinced me I had an ill brain And my meds got me questioning if I'm still sane Mind is racing I'm anxious but yet I'm still drained But I'm suppressed off an antidepressant I feel like broken minds are often more expressive A lot of people relate but they never accept it Cuz when you black, your family gon tell you to neglect it When your sad just forget it If you're mad just repress it There gon be static projected unless you act as expected Or they gon take your ass to church have you asking for blessings Every relationship you have man it has to affect it And you're still numb Told you got things to live for but your still numb Community where mental health's an enigma Either that or it's wack and shrouded stigma And you still numb You're still numb Yeah Look Anger and emptiness the emotions that drive me Cuz I got past trauma that I can't put behind me Even when I'm doing well there's things that remind me Of all the days I've spent in gray and ain't think highly Of myself and I let the shit pile up I still don't like the man I am when I'm getting riled up I still don't like the memories of whimpers and eye rubs But still I know to try to keep the issues behind us I can't say that won't ever be sorrow Cuz every day's a climb like Kilimanjaro I know it feels impossible when your feelings are low But when there's bad days there's a better tomorrow You can see that it's an issue when you look into it When you're black there's a higher chance you're going through it Self-harming at higher rates cuz we stay secluded And as a black man your 4 times as likely to do it Damn We gotta start spreading information It's not proactive to just ignore the situtation Our communities mindset is a bit tenacious So we got spread more knowledge and begin to change it Try to think bout how treat someone who's mindstates fragile Maybe try to keep in mind that its a lifelong battle And not just something you medicate and then put past you You might have a good day then some bad things happen And you're still numb Told you got things to live for but your still numb Community where mental health's an enigma Either that or it's wack and shrouded stigma And you still numb You're still numb Yeah
