“Manic” comes off of Dylan’s album “Metamorph”, and strays from the projects sound a bit. On a very hypnotic R&B beat, Dylan and long time producer and collaborator Prxd. Jay talk about being stuck in unwanted situations and staying away from drama.
[Verse: Dylan Longworth]
Tunnel visions
Thoughts up in my head they make me listen
Feeling fear, and I don’t really wanna give in, I keep it hidden
Make me feel like I’m the villain, but I’m not willing to let it go
When I’m singing
I let go of the these thoughts but keep on clinging
Cause melodies of pain they keep on ringing, I hate the feeling, Thought that everything was healing, it’s wishful thinking, don’t wanna show it
I usually start feeling breathless
No excuse but I been fucking stressing
Feels like every time I call, you don’t fuck with me at all, feeling small and I can’t help it
If you fuck with me, don’t let me go
I can’t help when I get down, I feel like moving slow
Cause I gave away my soul, man this shit's growing old
No ones faults cause it’s my own, yeah
[Hook: Dylan Longworth]
I’ve been feeling nauseous
Ever since I fought this
Know it’s only in my mind, yeah, I think I lost it
I ain’t going near this
My head I’m tryna clear it
Got a fear of being here, and it ain’t fucking disappearing
[Verse: Prxd. Jay]
It's my fault oh, it's my fault yeah
I can't hold it back, no, no, no
It's a problem, yeah, y'all got an issue, uh
It ain't my fault that niggas like me and Dylan got on top, and we ain't gon' miss you
So many niggas be picking these sides
Not enough niggas stopping these fights
Not enough niggas living they own lives (live ya lives)
Get out my DM's, you shouldn't play
I shouldn't leave 'em, what you gon' say?
What you gon' say when I make you look stupid? Are you gonna take it back in any way?
I don't know (I don't know)
Nigga I don't know if you've grown up
I don't really know what's bullshit
I don't know if you rep what you throw up
I'm feeling stuck, I'm feeling shit out of luck
All of these niggas be calling my bluff and I'm tired of giving a fuck
All these situations, I'm tired of facing
If you just don't fuck with me, then why don't you just say it?
Size me up and now you falling back
You's a bitch if you ain't seeing nothing wrong with that

My verse on this song is me kind of explaining what goes on in my head during panic attacks; physically, how my brain functions, and how my emotions peak. I’m mainly referring to my feelings about PRXDIGY and how the fall out happened and I continue to be put in situations that mirror the time I had...
