Anxiety
The Black Eyed Peace Feat. Papa Roach Lyrics

I feel like I wanna smack somebody
I am consumed by intense anger and feel the urge to violently attack someone.

Turn around and bitch slap somebody
I want to physically assault someone by hitting them with an open hand.

But I ain't goin' out bro
Despite my strong emotions, I will not give in to them and act out violently.

(No, no, no)
I am resolute in my decision to resist my violent urges.

Anxiety bashed my mind in
My intense anxiety is mentally and emotionally overwhelming me.

Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden
My anxiety is inflicting severe psychological distress on me, akin to the terror caused by Osama Bin Laden.

But I ain't fallin' down bro
Even though my anxiety is crippling, I will not be defeated by it.

(No, no, no)
I am determined to overcome my anxiety and not let it control me.

Shackled in chains
I feel trapped and powerless, as if I am literally imprisoned.

My soul feels stained
My inner being is tarnished by my anxiety and negative emotions.

I can't explain
I am unable to articulate or understand the root cause of my anxiety.

Got a itch on my brain
I am plagued by a persistent, uncomfortable feeling in my mind.

Lately my whole aim is to maintain
All of my energy and focus is directed towards managing my anxiety, in order to remain functional.

And regain control of my mainframe
I am striving to regain mastery over my own mind and emotions.

My blood's boilin' it's beatin' out propane
I am feeling intense anger and frustration, almost as if my blood is boiling with heat.

My train of thoughts more like a runaway train
My thoughts are racing out of control, much like a train that has derailed and is uncontrollable.

I'm in a fast car drivin' in the fast lane
I feel like my thoughts are moving at an incredibly fast pace, as if I am speeding down a fast lane in a car.

In the rain and I might just hydroplane
I am navigating through difficulty and unpredictability, like driving on a wet road where I could lose control and spin out (hydroplaning).

I don't fear none of my enemies
I am not afraid of any external threats or enemies.

And I don't fear bullets from uzi's
Even the threat of lethal violence does not intimidate me or cause fear.

I've been dealin' with somethin' that's worse then these
My anxiety is a much more severe and challenging issue to deal with than any external threat or act of violence.

That'll make ya' fall to your knees
My anxiety is so overwhelming that it has the power to reduce me to a state of physical and emotional weakness.

The sane and the insane rivalry
My own conflicting thoughts and emotions are waging war within me, creating inner turmoil.

Paranoia's brought me to my knees
I am consumed by paranoid thoughts and fears that are debilitating and prevent me from functioning normally.

Lord please, please, please
I am beseeching a higher power to help me overcome my anxiety and find relief from my suffering.

Take away my anxiety
I want to be freed from the grip of my anxiety, to be able to live a normal life without its interference.

My head keeps runnin' away my brother
My thoughts are constantly fleeing and racing in unmanageable directions, causing extreme distress.

The only thing makin' me stay my brother
Despite the overwhelming nature of my anxiety, I am persevering and remaining focused on overcoming it.

But I won't give into it bro (No, no, no)
I am not succumbing to my anxiety, and will continue to resist giving into its demands.

Gotta get myself back now
I am determined to overcome my anxiety and find a way to regain control over myself.

God I can't let my mind be trapped by enemies
I am resisting the negative thoughts and fears that threaten to dominate my mind and emotions.

My own
I am fighting the internal battle within myself to overcome my anxiety.

Got's to find my inner wealth
I need to locate my inner strength and resources to overcome my anxiety.

Grasp a hold of my thoughts
I am trying to take control over my thoughts and steer them in a positive, constructive direction.

I can't get lost
I am committed to staying focused and not getting sidetracked or derailed by my anxious thoughts.

Emotions are trapped on lock
My emotions are held captive and immobilized by my anxiety, preventing me from feeling and expressing myself fully.

Got my brain stuck
My anxious thoughts are causing me to become mentally trapped and stuck in a negative, unproductive cycle.

Going through the motions
I am struggling with my anxiety and just going through the motions of daily life, without feeling fully engaged or present.

Only I know what's up
I am the only one who truly understands the extent of my anxiety and how it is affecting me.

I'm filled up with pain tryin' to gain my sanity
My anxiety is causing me immense emotional and psychological pain, as I struggle to regain control of my thoughts and emotions.

Everywhere I turn it's embedded in front of me
My anxiety is omnipresent and is constantly in my face, making it difficult to manage or escape from.

Nowhere to go gotta shake this anxiety
I am feeling trapped and unsure of how to escape from the grip of my anxiety.

Got me feelin' strange
My anxiety is causing me to feel and behave in ways that are unfamiliar and unsettling to me.

Paranoia took over me
I am consumed by paranoid thoughts and fears that are difficult to control or rationalize.

And it's weighin' me down
My anxiety is oppressive and burdensome, causing me to feel weighed down and unable to function normally.

And I can't run any longer
I am no longer able to escape from my anxiety or avoid dealing with it.

Knees to the ground
My anxiety has brought me to my knees, both physically and emotionally.

Chorus
The chorus repeats the general idea that the singer is consumed by anxiety and is beseeching a higher power for help in overcoming it.
