Yo-Yo Lyrics

Addiction runs in the family

So I gotta work hard to prevent damaging

And its even harder when I really struggle managing

But with no self control then my life is vanishing

Been between a Buck 50 and 290 my adult life

And there's no way either number's alright

When I lose weight I drop it like a stalled flight

But when I try and keep it off it's a dogfight

We all like certain vices but mine's food and beer

I drink and eat like I'm buying souvenirs

I can quit cold turkey the proof is clear

But when I try to stay on course I refuse to steer

I can drop it real quick like I'm Walking the Dog

Cut through the fat like I'm sawing a log

But after a little while end up calling it off

I get a taste of something great then I'm pausing it all

I yo-yo more than Around the World

Belly goes from flat earth to the roundest curve

I'm driving real straight then I gotta swerve

Right into oncoming traffic and God it hurts

You don't know the blow that deals to my psyche

I fight metabolism but I wish that it would fight me

Eat a little drink a little don't be snacking nightly

And maybe the slate'll finally feel like it was wiped clean

I still have medium large XL and 2X

A bunch of t-shirts hoodies and crewnecks

Bought shirts I haven't been able to use yet

And others when I drop they're probably too stretched

Overweight again that's my current tussle

Trust me when I say it's an eternal struggle

By the time you heard me double I will have burned a hundo

Lost all the weight and didn't even hurt a muscle

There are many people who just don't know

That everything in life is like a yo-yo

Bouncing up and down like a pogo

Think you're making progress but it's so slow

Oh no… Oh no

Everything in life is like a yo-yo

Oh no… Oh no

Everything in life is like a yo-yo

Anxiety isn't in the genes

But the way it takes me over is really interesting

It gets inside of my brain tryna get me to do different things

And I end up doing nothing at all that's so crippling

It controls so much and so little at the same time

You might be seeing life in my eyes but ima blank mind

But I'm a people pleaser so I'm tryna stay kind

But if they diagnosed it it would probably be Stage 5

But I'm better than I used to be

There are less and less times that I'm losing sleep

But my thoughts be moving so elusively

That I don't see when I'm acting stupidly

Anxiety is really tough to manage

Especially when many other thoughts are running rampant

But it's what I gotta do when days become demanding

Gotta make it look like I'm taking over the planet

Gotta grab it like a vice grip

And fight the urge that's making me out to look like a flight risk

Indecisiveness is looking like politeness

Inability to function looking like excitement

Severed ties with oh so many cohorts

Burned so many bridges you would think I was a blow torch

Navigated straight roads like they were a road course

Prolly shoulda got bumped in the mouth without the cold sore

You're prolly thinking this verse is a little scatterbrained

That's how my mind works aren't you glad you came?

Can you adapt and change if you haven't masked the pain?

As synapses in my brain try to play the Matching Game

No more medication for this guy

Music is my meditation to get by

Lyrics are my elevation to get high

And my message is the explanation to live by

There are many people who just don't know

That everything in life is like a yo-yo

Bouncing up and down like a pogo

Think you're making progress but it's so slow

Oh no… Oh no

Everything in life is like a yo-yo

Oh no… Oh no

Everything in life is like a yo-yo
