Mmmm-hmmm I got some thoughts I need to get off my mind if u dont mind this dat (BANDO) Brandon therapy .. Is it okay to not be okay? I know I'm free to think But right now I'm staring down a barrel of emptiness And I can't even blink You see, depression's feeling larger than life Well, Bando, it sounds like you need a shrink But stay strong, bro Cause a team's only as good as their weakest link So, are you saying it's not okay to be not okay? Well, as a leader they all tell you just to leave it all alone And lead the people to believe you aren't bleeding on your own So no, I guess not Well, well then I don't want it I mean all this pressure of a Prophet never profits Would you stop it? Setting the bar up high And then placing it near a standard knowing I'll never stop it Look this is nonsense But I'm sure you gon rebuttal When it comes to mental health 1 in 4 of us will struggle Look I get it, I see that stat listed But what am I supposed to do when its clear that my path different? Oh, I don't know How bout realizing that we're on the same team Cause when triggers in the street kill people, it goes mainstream Meanwhile I have triggers in my mind everyday That do the same thing What you know bout-the failures, the fear, being left stranded Home alone feeling trapped like the wet bandits And satan robbing you of all your joy You feel like killing that dude That's when depression sets in and- Wait, depression? Ayo, Ward I deal with that too I mean it's all internal, nothing helps Every drug is more twisted I can't even get to the end of my rope Cause my emotions are playing tug-of-war with it Can we face this question? How am I supposed to pray to Heaven for a major blessing If He gave this lesson? Even the church makes it seem like my disease is something that they hate to mention So we might seem worried like it's the 1930s Cause ever since my stock dropped nobody wants to invest in this Great Depression And ironically, depression isn't great I mean it's draining all my energy and lessening my faith And it gets even worse when reaching out to the ones you love Becomes a set back Cause you feel more rejected and alone when they don't take time to text back I'm a burden I'm worthless I lack friends I lack purpose Nobody understands how bad I'm in a bind They tell me happiness is mind over matter But I'm telling myself over and over That I don't matter in my mind It's okay to not be okay When life is backwards and you feel KO'd Worn out like play clothes You feel you're missing something The purse is where you have your pills buried but you don't make a joyful noise when they hit your stomach I mean all the prescription Causing affliction Still my thoughts are in prison I promise this is not for attention Ay, what you know about finally getting a call from a friend then- They ask what you did that day You can't muster up the courage to tell them that "Tch" You barely got out the bed and walked to the kitchen You see when a doctor said someone has cancer You turn emotionless And if a doctor says your son has a fracture You trust it's broke a bit If a doctor says you're diabetic u start controlling it But when a doctor diagnosis you with a metal illness They tell you suck it up Get over it u see there's a chemical imbalance in my head Its not trickery Things that are normal to you, are like a gift to me u get out the bed and shower, that's ritually If I get out the bed and shower, dats like a victory R u kidding me? Bro it's no different My depression, I just sulk in it And my addiction is a by-product cause I just buy products to help my cope with it Who am I fooling? I know my brand is generic, I'm just lost in it And my best choice is to find great value in not being authentic It's okay to not be okay Lord do You remember promising to be my awesome therapy? Do You remember saying trust not to fall for anything? Cuz I remember it clearly And my thoughts are killing me Why is my mind racing while I'm trying to jog Your memory? It's okay to not be okay Lord do You remember promising what You'd do for me? Saying Nay that wait upon the Lord, You shall renew their strength How long do I have to wait in this darkness cause You're losing me My quest for Your love is hindered by black thoughts And they're rooted deep So it is okay to not be okay I kno the burden is strong And the topic has been taboo'd for what seems to be an eternity long But every day, hurting people are seen searching for God And it's of the utmost importance for the church to respond See u are loved We are here Give a hug Lend an ear I am u u are me We are His Christ is near He could've easily made us sit in this hell But He chose to suffer for us And also with us as well You see we both can Help the people stand By telling us He took our whips like the repo man I'm yelling "Ay, man" Two palms Saving Groupons A warrior who came in The form of a man like Mulan Look its no need to have resentment in life you walkin for the contentment of Christ.
