Tesh G - Shook

Yo I'm shook, mindset weak
Got me acting like a rook
In the mirror I can't take a look, how could this be
Here I thought I was a king
Now I'm having trouble, just to grab the mic and speak
Yo I'm acting brand new, not sure what to do
Should I give up call sick, like I got the flu
Instead, maybe I'll get up out of bed
Take a mountain cruise smoke a J or twos
Then get back to what I love to dos

I'm on a mission, just to get some friction
I keep trying to climb, but I keep slipping
I keep swinging, I keep missing
Now I'm down to my last eye lash
But I keep wishing
Maybe this'll be the start
Maybe this'll light a spark
Maybe I'll get up today, just to write some bars
All I know is that I gotta do something
I try to look ahead, but there seems to be nothing
So now I try to break this loop of depression I'm stuck in
Yes I know I gotta start trying, I gotta start writing
Cause what a let down to God if I let my talent start dying
So today I guess I gotta move
Hop up in the truck and take a cruise
Smoke a J or twos
But it's so hard to do those things you love to do's
When you're so damn blue, and it's so damn true
That it's so hard to hold on to those things that you just can't lose

Yo I'm shook, mindset weak
Got me acting like a rook
In the mirror I can't take a look, how could this be
Here I thought I was a king
Now I'm having trouble, just to grab the mic and speak
Yo I'm acting brand new, not sure what to do
Should I give up call sick, like I got the flu
Instead, maybe I'll get up out of bed
Take a mountain cruise smoke a J or twos
Then get back to what I love to dos

Dead weight, yo I'm shook, like an earthquake
Here's my motto, we can bend, but we don't break
And I don't rush cause I live at a slow pace
And I stick to myself
Cause I know that's a life where there's no fakes
I need to bust up out the slump
Cause it feels like my soul's caged
These days it's like I'm brand new
Fresh out the box
But it don't feel good like a fresh pair of socks
I try to reach out, all they give me is blocks
So I built up a wall, now you'll just have to knock
Cause inside, bro, my belly's green
All around me, everybody's hella mean
They can't see, that I'm struggling
And lately, my dome's empty
And there's not one thing
That I can complete
So I wipe the slate clean
And I'm back to step one like a damn rookie

Yo I'm shook, mindset weak
Got me acting like a rook
In the mirror I can't take a look, how could this be
Here I thought I was a king
Now I'm having trouble, just to grab the mic and speak
Yo I'm acting brand new, not sure what to do
Should I give up call sick, like I got the flu
Instead, maybe I'll get up out of bed
Take a mountain cruise smoke a J or twos
Then get back to what I love to dos
Yo I'm shook, mindset weak
Got me acting like a rook
In the mirror I can't take a look, how could this be
Here I thought I was a king
Now I'm having trouble, just to grab the mic and speak
Yo I'm acting brand new, not sure what to do
Should I give up call sick, like I got the flu
Instead, maybe I'll get up out of bed
Take a mountain cruise smoke a J or twos
Then get back to what I love to dos
