Lyrics of Anxiety Wins by Joyner Lucas & blackbear
[Intro]
(Hol’ Up)
[Chorus: Blackbear]
I Don’t Wanna Go Outside
I Wanna Go Back To Bed And Let Anxiety Win
I Don’t Wanna Let You Down
Don’t Wanna Let You In, I Let Anxiety Win
[Verse 1: Joyner Lucas]
All Of My Friends Is Too Cold
They Wanna Hang Out, But I Don’t
Don’t Wanna Be Bothered, I Know
But I Hate Bein’ Alone (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
Tell Me What’s Happenin’ With My Soul
I Try To Get Past It, But I Won’t
You Think That I’m Crazy, But Who Knows?
I Might Be, Maybe (Shit, I Might Be)
Take A Walk In My Shoes And
You Might See Life In A Way That You Never Seen It
If You Feel Like I Do, Then You Might Blink Twice
And You Realize You Were Never Dreamin’
Only Thing That I Do Is Blame Myself Every Time I Feel Defeated
But I Know I Got A Million Reasons
Shit Is Gettin’ Kinda Real This Evenin’
[Pre-chorus: Joyner Lucas]
I Can’t Keep My Head Down, Maybe I Need To Pray (Woo)
’cause I Ain’t Been Asleep In Days
I Gotta Get Out Of This Evil Place (Woo)
Or Maybe I Need To Stay
I Stare At The Mirror,
The Truth Is I Hate My Reflection ’cause All I Can See Is Shame
Could Somebody, Anybody Please Relate?
Do You Feel The Same Like?
I Think My Tension Is Buildin’, My Stresses Are Killin’
My Head To The Ceilin’, The Pressure Is Fillin’
Expression To Healin’, Deflectin’ And Still I’m
Expectin’ To Feel I’m Connected, But Really I’m Stressin’
Bout How You Expect Me To Deal With
These Walls When They Keep On Closin’ In
As Soon As I Think I’m Close To Win, Anxiety Takin’ Control Again
[Chorus: Blackbear]
I Don’t Wanna Go Outside
I Wanna Go Back To Bed And Let Anxiety Win
I Don’t Wanna Let You Down
Don’t Wanna Let You In, I Let Anxiety Win
I, I’m Just Out Here Tryin’, Tryin’ To Exist, I Let Anxiety Win
I Don’t Wanna Go Outside
I Wanna Go Back To Bed And Let Anxiety Win
[Verse 2: Joyner Lucas]
Sometimes Feelin’ Depressed,
Sometimes I’m Cryin’ And That Shit’s Weird (Ooh)
Sometimes Feelin’ Alive,
Sometimes Don’t Think That I’m Happy Here (Yeah)
Fuck It, I Roll This Blunt,
Somebody Gon’ Bring Me A Pack Of Beer
’cause When I’m Feelin’ Fucked Up’s Only Time My Problems Disappear
Who Am I? Who Am I? (Yeah)
Can’t No One Tell Me Nothin’
Oh My God, Oh My God (Uh)
Look It Done Got Me Buzzin’
Just In Time, Just In Time (Joyner)
Ain’t No One I Can Trust In
All My Fears Are Really Assumptions
What Am I Scared Of? Really, It’s Nothin’
[Pre-Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
Maybe I’m Buggin’, Maybe I Need To Pray (Woo)
‘Cause I Ain’t Been Asleep In Days
I Gotta Get Out Of This Evil Place (Woo)
Or Maybe I Need To Stay
I Stare At The Mirror,
The Truth Is I Hate My Reflection ’cause All I Can See Is Shame
Could Somebody, Anybody Please Relate?
Do You Feel The Same Like?
I Think My Tension Is Buildin’, My Stresses Are Killin’
My Head To The Ceilin’, The Pressure Is Fillin’
Expression To Healin’, Deflectin’ And Still I’m
Expectin’ To Feel I’m Connected, But Really I’m Stressin’
‘Bout How You Expect Me To Deal With These Walls When They Keep On Closin’ In
As Soon As I Think I’m Close To Win, Anxiety Takin’ Control Again
[Chorus: Blackbear]
I Don’t Wanna Go Outside
I Wanna Go Back To Bed And Let Anxiety Win
I Don’t Wanna Let You Down
Don’t Wanna Let You In, I Let Anxiety Win
I, I’m Just Out Here Tryin’, Tryin’ To Exist, I Let Anxiety Win
I Don’t Wanna Go Outside
I Wanna Go Back To Bed And Let Anxiety Win
[Outro: Blackbear]
I
