[Verse]

Depression mode in my dressing room

Pressure's on, grateful for my blessings

Though I think I found success too soon

How could it be like this?

Should've warned him if he got successful he might flip

Yeah my dreams are comin' true and all

But who do you call

When it seems the weight of the world

Is glued to your balls

I ain't being jokey, nigga this is serious

Running 'round in circles but my mind is the weariest

Why am I delirious?  I got everything a brother could

Ask for, feel like I'm being smothered in asphalt

'Cause I let my problems trample all over me

Too many straws have got my camel fallin' on his knees

For example I -- oh hold on, hold on...lemme take this drink, hol' up (pours drink)

Now where was I?

Finally got my wings unclipped but now I'm scared to fly

But this ain't stage fright

Nigga this is e'ry night

Fans screaming, stampeding

Dan's speeding, movin' too fast

I can't even walk in the store anymore

Without a bunch of people standin' by the door

Asking for an autograph, man I oughta spazz out

But I gotta think about my daughter...

Speakin' of her, me and her mother are goin' through some thangs

Ever since -- man fuck it, I gotta take...

I gotta take another drink, my bad (sips drink)

My momma said I'm actin' brand new

Said the fame changed me

But that can't be true

People that I used to call my buddy

Only actin' buddy-buddy

'Cause they want some money from me

And these honeys never came around before

Now I'm gettin' love from all these dames while I'm on tour

I wonder if they'd love me just the same if I was poor --

Yo, who's bangin' at my door?

("Six minutes, Danny Swain you're on!")

Man I ain't comin' out this room until my pain is gone

I...I need a couple seconds to sit and drink

Uh, I mean THINK...damn I can't think

Damn, what was I thinkin', I'm drinkin' again

Whether I sink or I swim, I know I gave it my best

Sometimes I -- I gotta, I gotta take another drink (pours drink)

I'm lonely and I'm nervous and I'm scared

Thought I wanted the fame, I guess I wasn't prepared

To be an overnight sensation

I hoped that I could take it in stride

I went from open mics to Vegas and died

Somewhere along the way; at least my sanity did

I didn't plan to be big, I just -- (sips drink)

I just wanted to shine

wanted my rhymes to reach the people one at a time

Funny how my small problems are all contributin'

To my biggest issue of all: my alcohol addiction

Is it me or is it...is it gettin' dark in here?

Oh...shit....
