Lyrics:
Why can't I take it just a day at a time, day at a time, day at a time
Years gone by now they stuck in rewind
Stuck in rewind, stuck in rewind
4:59 gotta rise at 5
Eyes wide shut but I'm feelin' alive
Said my goodbyes now I'm ready to roll
Hit the offramp with the highway patrol
Full with petrol so we low on the cash
Scoop up my crew, pick 'em and we dash
Shakin' like a leaf as I leave the state
Pretty full plate and my mind ain't straight
Everybody concentrate, see what we got
Any worst case scenario invading my thought
The very moment I brought to light what I mean
Might make me turn and drop outta the scene
Gotta write a check to the C.H.P.
Rollin 81 through Northern Cali
Late for my show in the San Joaquin valley
Rally more miles than I'll ever tally (come on)
Ticket in my hand with my band of bro's
Stand on the gas that's the way it goes
This life I chose, or yet this call
New it wasn't easy never easy at all
Stress and road never did mix
8 hour trip gotta make it in 6
So with the pedal to the metal, the end in sight
Weʼre off again to rock another Saturday night
I'm sittin' in a hotel lobby and
Strung out on stress and coffee can
Anybody help me understand
Why I'm last to know my plan
I try my best to stick away from the pack
Just do my thing but they keep bringing me back
It's not the same but it ain't completely new
It ainʼt no game won't explain what I'm into
No next level it's not the status quo
More than what it was but less even though
Hereʼs the honest truth I've known all my life
As that kid growing up out on green mountain drive
Mom and dad were at home steady grindin' it out
Showed me peace showed me love and what work was about
Always in my corner no matter what involved
Go to battle for me like the second I called
Committed didn't know what that end would entail
Steady workin' out my ministry waiting to exhale
Benjiman, iNNATE
Behind the Song:
"This song is the result of mishaps, struggle, and frustration out on the road. The title
says it all… ANX.. in bold, the first 3 letters of the word ANXIETY! Listen close and it will
tell you the story of how I battle my anxiety and stress to fulfill my ministry when I'm on
tour. This one is especially cool since I got the track from my brother iNNATE. I had the
hook and a general idea of how I wanted it to sound, then Nate built the track from
scratch...enjoy!" - Benjiman
