Stress relief

Ya…

Pressure on my chest, I just need some stress relief.

One for the dream, one for the ones that still believe.

(Verse 1)

I been fightin’ battles that nobody see,

People always talkin’ like they know what’s best for me.

They judge from the bleachers, never step in the ring,

I been dealin’ with the pain that the money don’t bring.

Too much at stake now, I can’t fake now,

No snakes in my lane, I cut the brakes out.

Try to bury me alive, I just grew roots deep,

I’m a storm in the silence, no more losin’ sleep.

(Hook)

Ya, I need me some stress relief,

A little peace of mind, a place I can breathe.

They can try to drown me, I still rise from beneath,

I’m built from the struggle, this is my belief.

(Verse 2)

Time and place — it ain’t right here,

And it damn sure ain’t right now, let’s be clear.

Climbin’ that ladder while they throw shade down,

But I’m steady with my balance, never break ground.

You can’t tell me nothin’ when I stand on my soul,

Been through hell and back, came out whole.

You might not see the pain in the stories I told,

But I gave it to my fam, that’s the purest gold.

(Bridge)

So let’s sit down, yeah, let’s communicate,

I’m tired of the silence, tired of the hate.

You whisper in the dark, but I illuminate,

No more wars inside, time to elevate.

(Hook)

Ya, I need me some stress relief,

A little peace of mind, a place I can breathe.

They can try to drown me, I still rise from beneath,

I’m built from the struggle, this is my belief.

(Outro)

Quit wishin’ death, start wishin’ peace,

We all got demons that we try to release.

It’s time to heal, time to end the suffering,

This is real life — not just another offering
