[Chorus]
Stress weighing on my chest
Tryna’ stay alive until they laying me to rest
Drinking Heineken and blazing up the cess
I need to get away just a need the space to take a breath
Stress weighing on my chest
Tryna’ stay alive until they laying me to rest
Drinking Heineken and blazing up the cess
I need to get away just a need the space to take to a breath
[Verse 1]
Last night I got so drunk
I woke up in a pool of vomit and I don’t know when it’s from
Half my night is missing, I ain't tripping, this just how I’m living
On a mission for getting ridiculously fucked and lifted
My parents raised my Christian, I didn't fucking listen
If only they vision could see me now, they'd up and visit
Mr. Pastor to pitch a prayer for this ignorant bastard
Getting plastered, fricking asshole, look at how them duckets spending
I ain't got no savings, every day when
My boss turn away I flick a finger singing fuck you pay me
No I ain’t chained in slavery, I should be thankful daily
But that don't that change the fact that actually it stays degrading
This ain't exactly where I thought I’d be when late night paging
Through them sheets, on top my sheets, before my teachers placed my grades in
Maybe this is just an angsty phase and I'll go back to acting happy
But reality slap me and got me saying
[Chorus]
Stress weighing on my chest
Tryna’ stay alive until they laying me to rest
Drinking Heineken and blazing up the cess
I need to get away just a need the space to take a breath
Stress weighing on my chest
Tryna’ stay alive until they laying me to rest
Drinking Heineken and blazing up the cess
I need to get away just a need the space to take to a breath
[Verse 2]
Me and my girl, we got our issues
Bring another box of tissues, we got a lot to get through
It ain't really felt the same and I don't want to diss you
But you've changed and it's the old you I that often miss, boo
How many times we have to fight for things to be alright?
Remember when I tripped? I called you bitch, I thought you'd leave that night
So I don’t like to get that drunk around you and that ain't no fun
But I get angry when I’m with you, so let’s keep it numb
We had a great run since high school
But now it seems all we do is fight and cry too
I don’t think we understand each other, not at all
We ain’t the same nerdy kids running through the halls
Yeah, we grown now, living on our own now
Oh how the past sitting fat on it's throne now
I don't know how long this gon’ last
So I kick back with a six pack and blow hash
[Chorus]
Stress weighing on my chest
Tryna’ stay alive until they laying me to rest
Drinking Heineken and blazing up the cess
I need to get away just a need the space to take a breath
Stress weighing on my chest
Tryna’ stay alive until they laying me to rest
Drinking Heineken and blazing up the cess
I need to get away just a need the space to take to a breath
[Verse 3]
I'm talking to you, Jonathan
Peering in the mirror, all the thoughts of what I outta been
If I had worked a little harder, gone a little farther
Been a little smarter, fuck it, let's take a shot again
Another day of working, this work it got no purpose
Self worth working to assure I’m for certain worthless
Going to the store like, did you really earn this?
Like what you done so that the earth is better on surface?
You used to have ideals, now you just average at it
Mr. MADic, please add it up how having no passion feels
You’ll never get your ass a deal, man, they'll pass for real
Tell your story through these raps and cats'll laugh and squeal
Why are you even trying? You know lying?
They never gon’ buy in to buying the high that you supplying
So I step away to break from this reflective pane
And lose my brain inside the haze of this special hay
[Chorus]
Stress weighing on my chest
Tryna’ stay alive until they laying me to rest
Drinking Heineken and blazing up the cess
I need to get away just a need the space to take a breath
Stress weighing on my chest
Tryna’ stay alive until they laying me to rest
Drinking Heineken and blazing up the cess
I need to get away just a need the space to take to a breath
