“I really hate this rap shit some times,” he raps, “Cause true friends are really hard to find/On a scale of one to ten, anxiety be on nine/Sorry but not sorry, I just really need some time/Some times I make plans and don’t show up ’cause I be tired.”
Lute recently spoke more about his battle with anxiety in an interview with Complex.
“The way I found out about anxiety was from an infomercial one night,” he said. “I couldn’t sleep, and I was flipping through the channels…and, you know how infomercials come through: ‘Do you have such and such? Are you feeling this way?”
He continued, “This is what I’m going through. This is what I have. Now I have a name for it. I’m glad I made that realization because now I feel like I have an upper hand on my anxiety and my depression.”
