about

The aim was to create something 'stress' relieving while speaking on everyday struggles. I wanted a record that I could press play to and forget about stressful situations.

lyrics

I can't be poor, I know money won't fix it
So much on my mind's hard to stay optimistic

In my feelings
10/10, I ain't talking bout appearance
Put you before me, that's the story of my life
Blood on my wrist, all the time I sacrificed
Crown on me but they tryna sell me handcuffs
Do like he say and put my hands up
Least get paid if you gon act tough
I been making moves like it's a dance-off
Trust it ain't what it seems
Here they laugh if you try and chase a dream
You a reminder when they see you that they never made it
How you graduated but you're still uneducated?
Smile in your face so you feel it more
All that shade just showing that you insecure
Stuck in this house, I probably should get out more
Tryna show the world I'm more than just a black boy

I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (What else do you want from me?)
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (Too much overthinking)

I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (I need some space)
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (Need to clear my mind)
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (Think I think too much)

Running out of patience, let me pace
They show a nigga love cause they relate
Used to work back home, moved out, I needed space
Stuck on this treadmill till the point I reach the greats
Keeping to myself that way I'm not involved
Open up, they tell you that you paranoid
9 - 5 shift but I'm unemployed
Why?
Cause that ain't what I'm working for
Never understood why work for somebody who was once nobody, bet on them then became somebody
This for my niggas grinding for a couple years, feeling that nobody cares, God been dodging all your prayers
B I feel the same
All day shooting, still you hitting frame
Tryna process in your brain that maybe it's me to blame
Barbell got my tank on E
It weighs more cause they depend on me, I'm tryna tell you

I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (What else do you want from me?)
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (Too much overthinking)

I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (I need some space)
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind (Need to clear my mind)
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind

I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind

I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just tryna get the stress out my mind
I'm just...
