Stressed For Space
I'm so stressed out
Need a place to breathe
Everybody I know is around
Please just let me be
Don't speak don't talk
Leave and let me work
Don't whisper don't walk
To me don't say a word
I try to make beats in peace
Go be about your business
Don't want y'all bothering me
What I started I need to finish
All day I'm at my job
I need time for myself
Try to make it not so hard
Cause y'all might leave me stressed
I'll escape to a park bench
To go be all alone
Maybe bring soda and chips
Then write myself a song
Wish I had my apartment still
I was never stressed for space
That's a feeling I'd love to feel
But now I'm stressed for space
