I've been tryin' to run from my problems
To keep another one from adding on
I feel so numb, I'm so far gone
Cause the collateral damage is done
Just need to exhale
I just need to exhale
I just need to exhale
Just need to exhale
Exhale (exhale)
Runnin' from my problems gotta find a solution
Speakin' to the youth, cause their minds are polluted
Gotta be wise with the time that were usin'
Growin' up now, these times are confusin'
Tell you what the truth is
Snappin' like a toothpick
Part of gods plan but its part of his amusement
Self medicated as I'm slammin' back a two six
Debt to society, their callin' me a nonsense
I haven't reached my full potential
Speakin' on the low, I just keep it confidential
Got this weed in the mail that I need to inhale
Ya this something that you feel like you readin' in brail (ahh)
I've been tryin' to run from my problems
To keep another one from adding on
I feel so numb, I'm so far gone
Cause the collateral damage is done
Just need to exhale
I just need to exhale
I just need to exhale
Just need to exhale
Exhale (exhale)
To many times I had to run from my problems
Pray, to keep my ass outta coffin
Tryin' to keep my name from in the grave
I'm sick of these demons, I'm a keep 'em in the basement
From the bottom I had to the start with the basics
Duckin' these agents like I'm Neo in the matrix
Never runnin' from my past, I'm gonna face it
Past mistakes made me a basket case
I got the faster pace because the casket takes
Give me a mask and a maze
Now a glass in a vase
Never been so abrasive
Ex, exhale when I'm faced with
In the bottom of the bottle of the Jack Daniels
151 and silk tassel
Shit made me an asshole
But learn and we breathe what we all have a past for
I've been tryin' to run from my problems
To keep another one from adding on
I feel so numb, I'm so far gone
Cause the collateral damage is done
Just need to exhale
I just need to exhale
I just need to exhale
Just need to exhale
Exhale (exhale)
Lookin' for a way I can kick this addiction
Feelin' so numb when I split the difference
Cant afford gifts for your Christmas gift list
Gotta tell the kids, shit Santa missed us
Runnin' from your problems gotta face the mirror
When your talkin' to yourself you gotta face your fears
Never givin' up, I gotta make it clear
When you medicate yourself as you crack a beer
When you've had enough, it keeps adding up
Your back against the wall and ya keep backing up
Captured through a lens livin' life in slow mo
Masked through a smile cause im feelin' so low tho
I know I'm focused and I got this
When im runnin' from the monsters like the Loch Ness
God bless to the people in the struggle
Doin' what you gotta do, keepin' up the hustle
I've been tryin' to run from my problems
To keep another one from adding on
I feel so numb, I'm so far gone
Cause the collateral damage is done
Just need to exhale
I just need to exhale
I just need to exhale
Just need to exhale
Exhale (exhale)
Exhale, exhale
