Anxiety by Nicki Minaj

Anxiety
[Intro]
Here I go
Here I come
Can you feel me?
I am numb
There's a bridge up ahead
I might run up, I might jump
There’s a dark weather-set
There are bullets in the sky
Hold the switch, I’ll be fine
When I pull it, you should run
(Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait)
(don’t go)

[Chorus]
Another day of anxiety (Come on)
I hate this society (Yeah)
How do you expect me
To maintain my sobriety
If I’m not your cup of tea?
Okay, there’s variety
I miss all the rappers that are dead now
Another day of anxiety (Come on)
I hate this society (Yeah)
How do you expect me
To maintain my sobriety
If I’m not your cup of tea?
Okay, there’s variety
I miss all the rappers that are dead now
[Verse]
Another day, another slay
Another game we gotta play
Another backhand compliment
While they smilin' in your face
I hate the dead sh*t
Fake interactions
I am not that sh*t
I am an assassin

[Pre-Chorus]
Who that, who that?
Who that in that sports car?
Come for me while we still strap like a sports bra
Who that, who that?
Who that in that sports car?
I pull up in that “Oh sh*t, what the f**k it cost?” car

[Refrain]
And that’s one thing about me
I don’t give a f**k about what you think about me
And that’s one thing about me
I don’t give a f**k about what you think about me

[Chorus]
Another day of anxiety (Come on)
I hate this society (Yeah)
How do you expect me to maintain my sobriety?
If I’m not your cup of tea, okay, there’s variety
I miss all the rappers that are dead now
Another day of anxiety (Come on)
I hate this society (Yeah)
How do you expect me to maintain my sobriety?
If I’m not your cup of tea, okay, there’s variety
I miss all the rappers that are dead now
