Lyrics for Mental Health

Shit in, let's go Know what I'm sayin'? Uh It's mental health for a street nigga, know what I mean? Huh Street nigga, know what I mean? Right, huh Ayy, yeah, I wake up and don't know the reason I'm stressed Maybe it's the past trauma I need to address Would say it's karma, but I don't believe in that mess It's hard believin' in karma without white folks bein' oppressed I'm tired of chasin' illegal success That only end up to them yellin', "Free you or death" So I up and left without a single regret You owe a credit card? Nigga, I was fifteen kilos in debt I had to get my ego in check Follow the wrong path and it may lead you to death 'Cause I seen people inject diesel and fet They don't know how to sew, so they rather put they needles to flesh You say you love me? Well, convince me The words that I use shouldn't be held against me That ain't solid, that shit frail and flimsy How you love me when your heart filled with envy? What's mental health to a street nigga? Huh When you goin' through shit, who gon' speak with ya? Can't tell my bitch the reason why I'm sad If I tell her my problems, she repeat it when she mad, huh What's mental health to a street nigga? Huh When you goin' through shit, who gon' speak with ya? Can't tell my homies the reason why I'm sad When everyone in your team competin' for a bag Competin' for bags, money we just treat like a mask To hide the trauma and the pain, I spent the week in my fast Reflect them dead bodies scattered in the streets and the grass Tried to look at they pics, but every time I see 'em, I gag When shit wasn't addin' up, I was a genius in math Treated niggas like fam, but in return, they treated me bad It was hard to build a team when it's a thief in your staff 'Cause they couldn't afford they own, they rather lease what I have What's mental health to a person that never knew it exists? They say ignorance is bliss, so you'll never lose what you miss Relationships that were severed was never happy for me I can't wish 'em the best 'cause then they'll still have access to me No meds for a broken soul, it's hard to mend what you lack Mental health, label that's crazy, it's a difference in that Sometimes chaos the medication, more expensive than cash When the voices inside your head the only friends that you have What's mental health to a street nigga? Huh When you goin' through shit, who gon' speak with ya? Can't tell my bitch the reason why I'm sad If I tell her my problems, she repeat it when she mad, huh What's mental health to a street nigga? Huh When you goin' through shit, who gon' speak with ya? Can't tell my homies the reason why I'm sad When everyone in your team competin' for a bag
