Canon wants to use “Take It All Away” to start a discussion about depression. On Tuesday, Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. ET, Rapzilla will host a Google Hangout conversation with Canon and friends, including B.J. Thompson, about the subject which he feels like is not talked about enough.

“Take It All Away” Lyrics (according to RMG):

Chorus
I’m drifting y’all, I’m losing my patience,
I wish He could take it all away, I feel I can’t take it, cause I’ve been up in it so long, my heart is racing, I wish you could take it all away.

Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away

Pre-Verse
I don’t know what to do with myself
I’m sick of being frustrated
And I know you want to help
But it ain’t nothing you can do to save me
I can’t help myself
Im Sick of being aggravated
I don’t know who to tell
Oh lord, I can’t, can’t take it

Verse 1
Sometimes I imagine to off me
Drink a bottle of belvedere forgetting what God thinks, What yall think?
I’m already on it what yall bring?
I’m just trippen about it, but naw really come on shrink! hate life,
I’m tired of eating lemons it ain’t nice,
I thought I got up and left but abandonment ain’t right
Left right left right, I’m sick and I can’t quite
Put away the inner heathen in me but I can’t fight,
I’m weak, vomit all of my food I can’t eat,
Im in need of putting rest in the lord but I can’t sleep, I’m falling off of the bed in the night and I can’t dream,
Ever wake in the middle of night but can’t speak? Paralyzed like a paraplegic now a what am I,
Possessed depressed sick or just stressed I can’t hide it,
I tried to cover the heart the on my sleeve but it keeping finding a way to come out and play so bump it just keep riding

Tick tock tickity hear the tick on my wrist watch, Time is running and gunning
Don’t you run off from me punk,
Making me take a pill when I wake up bump that Run in the yard with it with the Tims and stump that, So run it
I’m a little emotional with it hoping I finding God any minute The devil he me got me spinning I’m feeling invincible and invisible am I trippen I figured im living all in my mind but I’m here lifted woah!

Chorus
I’m drifting y’all, I’m losing my patience,
I wish He could take it all away, I feel I can’t take it, cause I’ve been up in it so long, my heart is racing, I wish you could take it all away. Take it all away,

Pre-Verse
I don’t know what to do with myself
I’m sick of being frustrated
And I know you want to help
But it ain’t nothing you can do to save me
I can’t help myself
Im Sick of being aggravated
I don’t know who to tell
Oh lord, I can’t, can’t take it

Verse 2
Come and catch me at the crossroads like bone thugs, time is short, he got no love , it got no favorites, no hugs, so let’s converse it that’s sho nuff,
what you talking bout, what he talking about, picked up the floor mat and now I’m walking out And my mind slipping Dipped while I’m on the couch with
Oxycodon in and out the mouth

I’ve Been Sitting up in that bed, and I got this metal off in my leg,
Jaw is broken, coming down off a ledge I’ve been contemplating that I should of been dead,

I aint never been scared to look at my grave, God has already numbered my days,
And still try to wonder why was I saved,
could of died below but instead I got raised

Aye look at my face and look what I’ve faced,
Me close to dying was nothing, thats grace,
Knowing I believe, that I struggle to have faith
Whether living or dying, man I dying to see his face

All this vanity, thank Adams eve, me trying to save face is insanity cuz I ain’t plan to be without a plan indeed, oh but nothing like is promised I guarantee,

Chorus
I’m drifting y’all, I’m losing my patience,
I wish He could take it all away, I feel I can’t take it, cause I’ve been up in it so long, my heart is racing, I wish you could take it all away.

Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
Take it all away, Take it all away
