Problems
B. Russ Lyrics

Never knew life threw this many, I been through the ringer ain't shit pretty
I was never aware that life could bring so many challenges and hardships. I have experienced a lot of difficulties, and it hasn't been pleasant.

Moved from the cap to a big city, attracted to those that'd click with me
I relocated from the capital to a bustling metropolis, seeking connections with people who would understand and relate to me.

But I left behind a lot of things undone, feel confused then I tend to run
However, I left many unfinished tasks and unresolved issues behind. Whenever I feel confused, my instinct is to escape or avoid facing them.

Really lost count of the days I cried... days I cried

Close to the edge but I survived... I survived

I drive cautiously, conserving my limited resources. I have to pay a toll because the path I'm on is not without its costs.

Cut the lights out that's my key, can't face what I cannot see
I prefer to keep the lights off, as darkness helps me avoid confronting things that are not visible to me.

More scared of vices than I am of Isis, peace priceless, nothing like it
I am more frightened of my own unhealthy habits and addictions than I am of external threats. True peace is invaluable and incomparable to anything else.

Major key but you can't type it, not trying to over hype it
I possess a significant solution, but it cannot be easily expressed or conveyed in words. I don't want to exaggerate its importance.

'Cause it been a long time since I been like that, lost in the world I just wanna go back
It has been a while since I felt that way, completely absorbed and lost in the world. I long to return to that state.

Mind been gone but the body intact, lips getting black 'cause I'm blowing on sacks
My mind may have wandered, but my physical self remains intact. My lips are turning dark due to smoking excessively.

Ain't no Jazz and it ain't no jive... happy to still be alive
This is not a time for playful music or deception. I am genuinely grateful to be alive despite everything.

As a man I don't feel equipped, to deal like I'm moving bricks

Rescue me show me that rope 'cause new ways to cope become an antidote
Please save me and provide guidance, showing me a lifeline. Discovering new methods of managing my problems can serve as a remedy.

I been numb to that pain... but this ain't the same as that Novocaine
I have been emotionally desensitized to pain, but the current situation is not as temporary or numbing as Novocaine.

I mean, pours when it rains... people change but the love remain
In other words, when it rains, it pours. People may change, but love still persists and endures.

Feeling lonely, wanna pass the time... I'm really way past lil glass of wine
Experiencing loneliness, I desire to occupy myself and pass the time. However, a mere glass of wine is insufficient to alleviate my feelings.

My trouble on the run it could pass batons now I'm fronting on everyone a master con they be like
My troubles are constantly shifting and passing from one challenge to the next. I am pretending and deceiving everyone, becoming a skilled con artist.

"How you doing?" "Good" "Tell the truth..." should
