Lately - Nappy Roots, Gareth Asher

Am I trippin' baby?

I can’t seem to tell, what’s the difference maybe

It’s all in my head, think I’m goin' crazy

Driving in the slow lane, but doin' 80

Around 285, watching the sun rise

Praying for blue skies, while wishing the sun shines

On my rainy days, I’m glad to be alive

But the pain, it stays, bottled up inside

Look into my eyes, some say they see a demon

Schemin', you decide, it’s whatever you believe in

Good or evil, I think my angels, double teamin'

And they know about cheatin', from the school of Bobby Heenan

That’s a joke in time, soon you’ll find out the meanin'

Ridin' to The Humdinger, Kalifornia Dreamin'

Swervin' &leanin', tryin' to have a good day

But I think it’s time, that we just bring in some singin'

I’ve been out here by myself, lately

I know I haven’t been myself goin' crazy

Oh I think I need some help, save me

I’ve been out here by myself, lately

I been out here by myself on the damn street

Living in a nightmare like I’m on Elm Street

I might be getting old but I’m an antique

And I won’t take no shorts… like a pants thief

Had to fight all my life, Mama told me watch my mouth

So I just let these hands speak

At night I can’t sleep.

I get antsy

Waking up, screaming like a banshee

The wife thinks I’m crazy I’m pleading insanity

That’s why I keep a little CBD in the pantry

For my A.D.D.

either that or a Xanny

Acid and Molly, I’m flipping candy

Responsible for my dysfunctional family

That’s probably why my baby mama’s mammy can’t stand me

Just trying to keep her head above water like Sandy

And this old pistol might come in handy

I’ve been out here by myself, lately

I know I haven’t been myself goin' crazy

Oh I think I need some help, save me

I’ve been out here by myself, lately

My therapist said I’m passive aggressive

Bi-polar, manic depressive

But I ain’t need no clinical assessment

To know that I been stressing since an adolescent

It might explain why my drinking is excessive

Treating bourbon like an anti depressant

It helps me, be a lil more pleasant

'Til I turn aggressive, then it’s ineffective

Losing perspective, chemically imbalance

Seems like all I ever hear is police sirens

No wonder why we so prone to violence

Why cats is wilding, wolves is howling

Just want silence, some peace of mind

So Please be advised, when u look inside

Cuz these eyes, got so much to hide

I be wearing these shades only as a disguise

I’ve been out here by myself, lately

I know I haven’t been myself goin' crazy

Oh I think I need some help, save me

I’ve been out here by myself, lately
