Problematic - When The Dr*gs Don’t Work (Lyrics)

Verse 1:

Wake up in the morning I don’t have a sense of urgency
Taking things for granted I’ve been living with uncertainty
Try to mask the pain as I’m dealing with this scrutiny
My life is like a horror film I’m screaming out its brutally
And honestly..
Never been the type to talk about my problems
Nod your head up in agreement you don’t ever try to solve em
Everybody leaves I should know by now it’s temporary
Tryna calm my nerves but no prescription necessary
Lord please I’m reaching out I need some help
I’m down on both knees with constant tension overwhelmed
If Ima swim up in these waters then I swear I’m Michael Phelps
All this family drama got me living like I’m Dave Chappell
I’m so worried for my future when I should be in the moment
Depression sinking in again I thought that it was over
I thought that I’d be happy if I gained some more exposure
But the opposite is true I’m f*cking miserable and colder

Chorus:

Another day through the pain and my muthaf*cking head still hurts
Where you suppose to turn when the meds and the dr*gs don’t work?
My anxiety has been k*lling every part of me
I can hardly breathe my mind is my enemy
My anxiety has been k*lling every part of me
I can hardly breathe my mind is my enemy

Verse 2:

I’m detached from my emotions as I’m going through the motion
Treating everyday the same man I’m sick and tired of loathing
In my pity in my doubts obviously it’s so provoking
I can put on quite an act like my name was John Travolta
And I’m sorry..
I can’t live up to your expectations
I may overanalyze I might leave the conversation
I might go and break your heart but I promise no intentions
Every girl I ever loved either toxic or obsessive
(Drowning slowly) but I’m remaining optimistic
(I must proceed) cause I got people that depending on me
(Full speed) but I am burning out / confessing
Do not tell me open up because I’ll probably regret it
I contradict myself and question anything thats real
Smoke another j in hopes the trauma maybe heal
Gimme more Xanax Prozac thanks Doctor!
And I’ll be on my way screaming f*ck Big Pharma

Chorus Repeat

Bridge:

Gotta face my demons don’t let em’ get ahold
Crumbling to pieces it’s been a lonely road
Wear my scars on my sleeve like a badge of honour
And any obstacle that I encounter Ima conquer
Weak stomach so depleted but I can’t quit
Made a promise to myself that I’m all in
It’s therapeutic and it’s something that we both need
Without this music in my life I would of OD’ed

Bookings/Features macdonaldg321@gmail.com (Lyrics In Description) Verse 1: My mind is explosive like I planted C4 Im surrounded by darkness like bats in a layer Mentally locking me inside of a prison But my vision getting brighter cause I made it appear They say that time heals everything its barely true Cause if it was why am I still hurting from you? My words are ammunition and Im ready to shoot Made a lot of fucking moves but still more to prove Just be yourself man forget the critics Possess a hype plan and mind your business A fight to the finish til my soul diminish Already in the game I was in the scrimmage Choices I have made got me so depressed I was drinking out the bottle til my eyes turn red Smoke another swisha tryna ease my mental It got me tripping paranoia like I seen the feds Getting high all day cause the world is low Procrastinate on the daily aint the way to go An Apocalypse approaching I can sense it though Social medias a tool that will drain you slow The good die young and the rich get richer Rappers out here ghost writing claiming they spitters You can tell me I should stop but I aint no quitter Colder than a winter night cause my past so bitter Ill be feeling like a plane on the runway About to take off celebrate like its my birthday When this album drops you should buy it like its payday Causing mayday Ima do this shit my way Haters gonna watch my every move like a steak out Speaking to the people like Im Martin Luther King now If you want a feature you can hit me on a pay pal Always bring the flame like im chilling at a campground, damn.. Hook: Everybody wanna come around like they know me But you dont know a thing about me you are such a phony You can say what you want but wont bring me down Ive been hurt so many times I cant feel it now I hope you understand my state of mind Spotlights on me and I know that its my time to shine Ive been out here on the grind working overtime And I aint stopping til I get it thats my state of mind Verse 2: Karma come around for the ones who deserve Well I had my fair share Ive been pushed to the limit They talk about your business but its none of their concern Give a fuck about a hater its survival of the fittest These fakes in disguise wanna act like my homie Now they see me making moves got no time for a phony Where the fuck were yall when I was down and nobody When the weather wasnt sunny and I had no money Had enough of fake friends and a dirty whore A whole world out there that Im trying to explore Opportunity is knocking better answer the door If you aint doing what you love only you to blame for I sit tight and I crunch rhymes A few beer just to get me through the tough times Ive been M.I.A. and I relapsed But Im sobered up now and Im on track Im a sociopath like Norman Bates Ill cut you up like a surgeon while you wide awake In the end we all doomed you cannot escape And dont run from your problems they will not erase Embrace to change but dont trust nobody Running deep as an incision while Im sipping on a 40 Bruce Lee with the Nun Chucks doper than a drug bust Sticking to my motive Ima be somebody Theyd be watching me like the police on the block These new gen rappers are like sheep by the flock My music therapeutic literally its all I got And I aint never stopping til I reach the fucking top I play my moves careful like a game of chess No brakes full throttle cant slow down now My rhyme flow sharper than a bayonet When I hit that stage spark a whole damn crowd (Hook Repeat) Bridge: Energys a monster my power is limitless Forever Ill be ill you should know that Im infamous Our world is an illusion filled with hatred and bitterness Got me torn apart like I fractured a ligament Your dreams are on the line better answer that call Cause any moment you could lose it be regretting it all Trying to find the strength to get back every time that I fall Gotta constantly remind myself that this is my fault They tell you that they love you but I see right through the lies Ima keep on chasing pavement cause this roads where I reside Ima probably die this way bury me up in the sky Let my legacy live on I hope you get my state of mind (Hook Repeat)$
