Throughout the song, Young Thug reflects on the complexities of life—balancing dramatic highs and lows, dealing with backstabbing, and contemplating his own mortality.

The imagery of “fighting depression” and feeling like “blowing my mind out” underscores the raw intensity of his emotional state. Musically, the track blends moody production with Thug’s distinctive melodic flow, creating a haunting atmosphere that complements the themes of struggle and survival.

Lyrics of Fighting Depression by Young Thug
[Intro]
I Just Need You, Know What I’m Sayin’ At This Point, It’s Gone
Nigga, I Seen Goddamn A Picture Of Your Feed (Feed)
That Shit Got Me Thinkin’ Damn, It’s Crazy
[Chorus]
Even Though My Mama Taught Me Manners
I Was Puffin’ Bars, I Can’t Forget The Ashes
Pull The Top Off And I’m Ridin With A Baddie
’cause All Though Nun Those Shit Didn’t Come From Asking (Yeah)
She Saw Me Beggin’ In My Mind, You Can Imagine
They Said That She Said She Was In My Mind, She Was Crashin’

Tom Ford Glasses When I’m Back (Yeah)
Get Geeked Out In My Mind, I Understand (Yeah)

Why Once You Gone I See The Signs Now (Okay, I See This Shit)
Fighting Depression Think I’m Dyin’ Now
Sometimes I Feel Like Blowin’ My Mind Out
Probably Wouldn’t Be Here If I Ain’t Have A Child Now
Oh, If I Could See The Smiles Of My Mama, And My Father
I’m Interested In Weapons And It’s Clearly Showin’ (Woo, Woo)
I’m Walkin’ With Depression And It’s Clearly Showin’ (Woo, Woo)

Soon As I Sleep I Rock Every Chain On All Y’all (Woo, Woo)
And You You Can Tell Me That I’m Wrong (Ooh, Ooh)
They Used To Tell Me That I’m Trippin’ When I’m On (Woo, Woo)
You Ain’t Tell Me Who I Can And Can’t Put On (Woo, Woo)
And I Legit Tried To Fill A Rollie For My Kids In Stone
