Mental Stress [1994] Songtext
von Esham

He should never even see daylight again, never
I have apologized publicly for the... for the Mental ang...
For the Mental Stress and emotional stress that I have a...
And I said to those people to umm...
I feel bad about it too.

How I need the eternal rest
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
See I′ve been to Hell and back, and that's a fact


I get a flashback one day I′m a snack
My mind is gone, to each his own
I'm on the far-side and it's passin′ me by
I wish the whole world would just leave me alone
I wanna die, I do not die
Wipe that ass once the shit hit′s the fan
I wanna cry, I do not cry
I have to tell me, myself and I
And who am I, I don't understand
Black man, my man, man
God damn man, all man, man
No shit, tell me somethin′ I don't know, no hope
And I can′t cope wit' the mental stress

How I need the eternal rest
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest


Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
Life ain′t nothin' but bullets man
And who's that nigga with the gun in-hand?
(What nigga?) This nigga, (What nigga?) That nigga
(What nigga?) This nigga, finger on the trigger
(Oh no, whatchya gonna do now boy?)
I′m finna go nuts like an Almond Joy
Bang my head against the wall three times until it bleed
Wicked Witch of the East, the belly of the beast
See, that′s just how it be
Nobody really gives a fuck about me
And ya see, that I ain't got no hope
Somebody help me cope with this mental stress

How I need the eternal rest

Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)

God took my mind and said fuck me
Lock me up and throw away the key
I kick the wicked shit until I can′t nomore
Til' I die, til′ I die, when will I die?
I black out so much I can't think nomore
How you be a homicide without an alibi
No lie, I can′t wait til' I die
Niggas still think Heaven's up in the sky
And voices in my head call my name at night
Insight, Twilight Zone′s my home
Sometimes I don′t know wrong from right
By my lonely, I'm gonna join my dead homie
I put the chrome to my dome when I′m all alone
No hope, and I can't cope with the mental stress

How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
How I need the eternal rest
Help me through my mental stress (My mental stress)
