Intro (Spoken, short)
Yeah…
They don’t tell you what it cost
They just tell you where to go
⸻
Hook (Melodic)
I’m stressed out, time for me to get the pain out
Mind loud, tryna find a different way now
They say life a book, but they leave the pain out
Say it’s all easy, why it never play out?
I been tryna take a different pain route
Same roads, everybody want the same route
Love gone, why it always feel played out?
If love real, why it never stay ‘round?
⸻
Verse 1
I’m stressed out, time for me to get the pain out
Aim out, shoot at something, tryna change routes
They say life is a book, never say what the pain ‘bout
Promise you the world, then they push you the same route
What’s that about?
Everybody talk strong when the sun out
But when rain fall, they don’t come ‘round
Say it’s love, but the actions run out
Say it’s real, but it never stay down
Fuck you talkin’ ‘bout?
If it’s love, it gotta be consistent
If it’s real, it don’t go distant
Say one thing, but move contradictin’
⸻
Pre-Hook (Melodic rap)
I been holdin’ weight in my chest
Tryna smile, tryna catch my breath
They don’t see the wars I fight in my rest
I just want what I give, not less
⸻
Hook (Repeat)
I’m stressed out, time for me to get the pain out
Mind loud, tryna find a different way now
They say life a book, but they leave the pain out
Say it’s all easy, why it never play out?
I been tryna take a different pain route
Same roads, everybody want the same route
Love gone, why it always feel played out?
If love real, why it never stay ‘round?
⸻
Verse 2
Love need to be around, not missin’
Love need presence, not distance
Can’t say “forever” then go inconsistent
That contradiction hit different
I been fightin’ thoughts in the night
Conversations I replay twice
Tryna heal scars that don’t show right
Still hopin’ love get it right
I don’t want fame, I want peace
I don’t want fake, I want real
If you say you here, don’t leave
If you say you love me, feel
⸻
Final Hook (Slight variation, emotional)
I’m stressed out, time for me to get the pain out
Different route, I ain’t playin’ the same now
Life a book, yeah I’m writin’ my page now
If love real, let it stay now
I been tryna take a different pain route
Same roads, I ain’t takin’ the same now
If love here, let it stay ‘round
I been hurt, but I’m straight now
