I never really had nothing to hide
Like, it was never really no filter in my head,
like "Would it be not cool
to talk about your emotions?"
Like, you know, like, it was never nothing
in my, in my conscience
In my head to tell me not to do that
Going through something,
music not only is something that kind of
helps the situation pass
I also make music
talking about certain subjects
Because I know that I'm not the only one
going through, you know,
what's happening
Me talking about certain things
could help somebody else through
what they going through
As well as me tryna figure it out myself
(Uh, you were telling me a little bit about,
you know
Just how you've struggled with anxiety
over the years
Do you feel like you touch on that
a little bit in this album?)
Yeah, I do touch on it
Mm-hm
I do, um
That's something that I feel like
a lot of people neglect
Which is completely and utterly wrong
And me speaking from
an African-American man
I know that, that stuff is neglected in,
like, our community
You know, you tell your mom or your dad
or your auntie, whoever, that
You feel like you got anxiety,
or like you got depression
You fucking got ADD or whatever
They gon' look at you like you crazy
(Mm-hm)
Like, "You don't got that, get out, go,
get out of here"
Like, how you gon' tell me
I don't got something, you know?
That's not how it should be,
but that's how it is
and that needs to change
And hopefully I'm one of those people
that could bring.... (Yeah) That change
Or at least start a chain-reaction
for somebody else to come
and do it after me
