Cant Get It Off - K Rino

Man, I hate when I feel like this

Rising above emotion to the thinking of God, yo

I got a cloud floating over me

Lately I’ve been noticing my total vibe and energy ain’t where it’s supposed to

be

Always in a dry mood

Can’t seem to recapture my stride, dude, no matter how many times I try to

I once felt similar

I don’t wanna do nothin' but shoot ball, come home and listen to the Minister

The skies look sinister

It’s like I’m inside of a storm with the calm sitting outside the perimeter

Anxieties I can’t release ‘em

My dreams dangling a foot in front of me but somehow I can’t reach ‘em

I’m gettin' kinda frustrated

Don’t you hate it when you gotta come up off some money when you just made it

Like damn, what do this mean?

It’s like things gettin' more messed up the more brother try to fix things

I’m just tryna warn you

I’m at a point where not being happy feels normal

I can’t get it off

It’s like a hundred pound weight strapped to me

Can’t run and can’t walk

I can’t get it off

Straight jackin', feet shackled with some duct tape covering my mouth

I’m just tryna be a grown man, grown man

I’m just tryna be a grown man, a grown man, yeah

Now my spirit ain’t broken, just not a lot of words spoken

I’m walkin' ‘round goin' through the motions

Nighttime approachin'

I’m overdosing on peace as it soaks in, silence is my close friend

I’m blocking out the deep hurt

Wish I could put my life in reverse ‘cause I’m wearing regret like a t-shirt

Wish I had a precursor to see first

But even with these quirks, I’m knowin' that my issue could be worse

Anger level rising, I’m tryna get over the hump

But I’m coming up short as a fire hydrant

I’m listening to wise men

But if you don’t apply what they’re advising, results shouldn’t be surprising

I’m seeing things plainly

I wish I could point the finger at somebody else but I gotta blame me

And shaking off this mess now

A waste of time like tryna wipe a tattoo off with a wet towel

I can’t get it off

It’s like a hundred pound weight strapped to me

Can’t run and can’t walk

I can’t get it off

Straight jackin', feet shackled with some duct tape covering my mouth

I’m just tryna be a grown man, grown man

I’m just tryna be a grown man, a grown man, yeah

I just wanna stay in bed

Bad intentions in my head, and I ain’t even takin' no meds

It took a minute to add it

I had to fall into some madness just to appreciate how good I had it

Folks smiling and laughing, bro

You see ‘em at the job and at the store but how many of ‘em are really happy

though

False status and matrimony

I keep going even when I’m lonely

‘cause I got people depending on me

Another thing that ails me —

If I wasn’t myself and came to me for some advice, what would I tell me?

I been tryna convince ya

The same people that oughta be in your corner are the ones rootin' against ya

It’s comin' off kinda hateful

But do I really wanna share what I built up with somebody who ain’t grateful?

Lettin' dead weight stop me

I gotta be the one to look out for myself if ain’t nobody else got me

I can’t get it off

It’s like a hundred pound weight strapped to me

Can’t run and can’t walk

I can’t get it off

Straight jackin', feet shackled with some duct tape covering my mouth

I’m just tryna be a grown man, grown man

I’m just tryna be a grown man, a grown man, yeah
