Anxiety
COI LERAY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I still got anxiety, that's why I keep it on me
Sometimes I feel I can't trust no one around me
There's another side of me, but I don't even show it
'Cause I got way too many people eatin' off me
Been through depression and I learned my lesson
So, I count my blessings and run it up
But I still got anxiety, that's why I keep it on me
Sometimes I feel I can't trust no one around me
'Cause I got anxiety
'Cause I got anxiety

Yeah
Overthink (yeah), conversation (yeah)
Complicated (yeah), consequences (yeah)
People talkin', ain't got no patience (yeah)
Just get that money (yeah), and get that paper (yeah)
And it don't matter how I do it
They gon' love or hate it (yeah)
I've been goin' through it (yeah), got my mind racin'
And they gon' have to face it
I'm destined for greatness (yeah)
I'm in first place, they keep tryin' to take it

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Been gettin' high to kill the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wish I could make it go away

I still got anxiety, that's why I keep it on me
Sometimes I feel I can't trust no one around me
There's another side of me, but I don't even show it
'Cause I got way too many people eatin' off me
Been through depression and I learned my lesson
So, I count my blessings and run it up
But I still got anxiety, that's why I keep it on me
Sometimes I feel I can't trust no one around me
'Cause I got anxiety
'Cause I got anxiety

Yeah, they try to break me, I can never let it phase me
I gotta learn to embrace it, won't let it change it
Even when life get crazy, I'ma always be the same me
Remember I was starvin', had to get it from the bottom
Now I got all these problems, money can't solve 'em
But I bet the money off 'em, gotta proceed with caution (yeah)
They like, "Coi you wildin'," I'ma go get it regardless
Too busy countin' my pockets, I'm the hot topic
I'm the reason why they talkin', only pop out when I'm shoppin'
Yeah, uh, keep that thing on me, yeah, Draco .223, yeah
Mind keep fuckin' with me, the money therapy

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Been gettin' high to kill the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wish I could make it go away

I still got anxiety, that's why I keep it on me
Sometimes I feel I can't trust no one around me
There's another side of me, but I don't even show it
'Cause I got way too many people eatin' off me
Been through depression and I learned my lesson
So, I count my blessings and run it up
But I still got anxiety, that's why I keep it on me




Sometimes I feel I can't trust no one around me
'Cause I got anxiety

I swear this might be the best music video I ever seen. Having the dancer in that red outfit to represent anxiety snd the food and pouring the wine on the couch....just freaking great! Great job to whoever was behind the concept of the video.
