Fighting Thru Depression Lyrics by Dee-1

Slingshot David (The Mixtape)

2016

Intro:
Rise up
Wake upon the morning and feel demons upon your back, upon your neck
You feel depression and all you can’t find a way out
There’s light at the end of the tunnel
I been having demons on my back, been having demons on my…back
I been having demons on my back, been having, been having…
Verse 1:
I wake up every morning reliving trauma, I know this ain’t healthy. I’m finna call a psychiatrist, hopefully she can help me
I used to think that was lame, I used to be so ashamed, man forget that, whatever gon’ help me to stay sane
Got my appointment on Thursday, it’s at 11 am, you can’t know where you going if you don’t know where you been
Man where I been? I been in depression for 18 months, I been contemplated suicide more than once
I bend over backwards for people. What you laughing at people? My name ain’t Ben Affleck. I ain’t acting for people
I’m worried bout my cousin, truth is, he been struggling
He been without a car son, ain’t talking black republicans (whoo)
I been seeing him go downhill, he need help
He got my name tatted on his chest, I’m ‘posed to be there (I’m posed to be there for him)
Meanwhile I’m pulling up to therapy. This my first session ever, I’m just fighting thru depression!
Chorus:
Cannot run from me problems (no problems). Cause’ there’s nowhere to go
Put me gloves on and box them
Man, that’s all that I know (that’s all that I know), I fight through the pain (look, I’m fighting, fighting), me strength is me weapon (look, I’m fighting, fighting)
I’m fighting (I’m fighting), I’m fighting (I’m fighting), I’m fighting through depression
Verse 2:
Therapy was good, found out what I could, now I’m headed back to my hood
They told me that I suffer from PTSD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, now I can see how leaving that untreated led to depression easy, so if you ever see me just show me love cause’ I need it
They say I walk around like I got a “S” on my chest. If it’s followed by “T.R.E.S.S.” then yes
(Let’s go) Look, stressing, not resting, forever second guessing, so I ain’ got no time to be Instagram flexing
I got bills that’s due and I got shows to do. I’m looking for a wife too so I can say I do. Really (really)
I ain’t been right for a couple years tho, but I ain’t shed more than a couple tears tho
Writing thru depression, pressure heightened thru depression, got enlightened thru depression, now I’m fighting thru depression boy!
Chorus:
Cannot run from me problems (no problems). Cause’ there’s nowhere to go
Put me gloves on and box them
Man, that’s all that I know (that’s all that I know), I fight through the pain (look, I’m fighting, fighting), me strength is me weapon (look, I’m fighting, fighting)
I’m fighting (I’m fighting), I’m fighting (I’m fighting), I’m fighting through depression
Outro:
Woah nah nah, woah nah nah, rise up, jump up, oh nah nah
Grab a hold real quick and rise now; grab the man and grab the girl say
Grab a hand, lead along all the people
Rise up, stand up, jump up, aye
Rise up, stand up, oh nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, aye
Fight depression, save the people, ayyyee
