Lyrics
My friends, they wanna take me to the movies
I tell 'em to fuck off, I'm holding hands with my depression
And right when I think I've overcome it
Anxiety starts kicking in to teach that shit a lesson
Oh, I try my best just to be social
I make all these plans with friends and hope they call and cancel
Then I overthink about the things I'm missing
Now I'm wishing I was with 'em

Feel like I'm always apologizing for feeling
Like I'm out of my mind when I'm doing just fine
And my exes all say that I'm hard to deal with
And I admit it, yeah

But all my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
They don't understand why I can't sleep through the night
I've been told that I could take something to fix it
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah
All my friends they don't know what it's like, what it's like

Always wanted to be one of those people in the room
That says something and everyone puts their hand up
Like, "If you're sad put your hand up
If you hate someone, put your hand up
If you're scared, put your hand up"

Feel like I'm always apologizing for feeling
Like I'm out of my mind when I'm doing just fine
And my exes all say that I'm hard to deal with
And I admit it, it's true

But all my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
They don't understand why I can't sleep through the night
And I thought that I could take something to fix it
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah
All my friends they don't know what it's like, what it's like

I got all these thoughts, running through my mind
All the damn time and I can't seem to shut it off
I think I'm doing fine most of the time
I think that I'm alright, but I can't seem to shut it off
I got all these thoughts, running through my mind
All the damn time and I can't seem to shut it off
I think I'm doing fine most of the time
I say that I'm alright, but I can't seem to shut it off
Shut it, shut it, yeah

But all my friends, they don't know what it's like, what it's like
They don't understand why I can't sleep through the night
I've been told that I could take something to fix it
Damn, I wish it, I wish it was that simple, ah
All my friends they don't know what it's like, what it's like

Li-i-i-i-ike
What it's like, what it's like
Hmm-mm-mm, mmm
What it's like
I love this song

Community Project: Triggers in Music
Hello everyone! Vinyl here, and I started a new project onsite last night. As some of you may know, I’ve struggled with mental illness over the past few years, thanks to the great anxiety + depression duo and PTSD. I’ve, thankfully, been able to heal over time, but it’s not always so easy, and it’s common to have a string of bad days where things that remind me of my past will make me panic. I know I’m not alone in this, and I wanted to find a way to help others dealing with similar things. Last night, I was browsing the site DoesTheDogDie, which is known for cataloguing triggering content in movies. However, I learned last night that it covers other areas, like TV shows and video games, but not music. That’s where my new Triggers in Music project comes into play. With help from wonderful users like @averysperez, @glitzy, @tirelessmess, @AlexanderJamesM, @miasmxle, @AGS96, @ChloeConlon, and @velociraptigor, we now have pages dedicated to logging the presence of thirteen common triggers in music.

Logic is Overrated (Shawn Cee & BlackySpeakz response)
S/o @RapGeniusRapGenius for making ‘The Problem With Logic’ thread that inspired this. I was bored and what’s better than critiquing Logic 1: Overrated Lyrically Everyone praises Logic for being a top tier lyrical rapper but I don’t see it. I was guilty of it when I was in 8th and 9th grade and he dropped Under Pressure (Still a great album) & The Incredible True Story (In retrospect that album title’s dumb and the concept wasn’t worked out on fully imo) but looking back on it he really isn’t that impressive. His lines are ight but there’s no complexity within his rhymes. I feel as if because of lyrics becoming less important in this generation that most rap fans that don’t like the new trend of trap will favor rappers with average bars just because they “can understand what they’re saying”. Example 1: Young Jesus Now I ain’t gonna lie, it knocks. The beat knocks and the verses were dope but let’s look at the 15 bars Logic spit on the 1st verse Okay now take a trip inside my m
