Alex G Vega - Social Anxiety

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

"Hey man, are you alright? Are you high? Man, you're quiet. And you don't really talk too much."

The questions are the worst -.- It's like they're trying to make you feel more comfortable and included in some well-intentioned way, but they're really just putting the spotlight on you. And then you're fucked. I hate being shy...

[airjordan231992]

Great song thumbs up!!

[ELSR1ER]

Hey man, thanks so much for making a song about S.A.D. This is a disorder i unfortunatly have.... I have a question though? What made you want to write about social anxiety.....?

[14illmatic]

@ELSR1ER I honestly didn't have any intention of making a song titled 'Social Anxiety' in the beginning. I didn't even know what the term social anxiety was at the time. I was just having all these emotions about what was going on in my life and decided to vent by writing. The disorder just sort of fit the description, and with people like yourself who tell me that they know exactly what I was going through kind of confirmed my condition ha.

[ELSR1ER]

@14illmatic Ah i see.. Well it's nice to hear that some one that's suffering from social anxiety is recovering. Alot of people think it's just an excuse, or that we're just "lazy". Nobody will ever understand what we go through unless they had it. Well anyways keep up the good work. I like your music. Much love. Peace

[14illmatic]

@ELSR1ER I really had no idea it would connect with you on such a personal level. And you, as well as others like you, are what inspire me to keep connecting with people on that level. I like to think that I've made some progress and moved away from my social anxiety in the 2 years since I wrote this, so I might not write about this subject anymore. But I want to continue connecting with people. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. its the best compliment you could give me.

[oapy1111]

Story of my life! xD

[XxOneTrueKillxX]

Man I'm glad I found this song it totally describes my problem. It feels so good when you know some one else out there understands you and has been through the same things you have. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS SONG MAN

[waterwon]

[vice2vursa]

[Capitalben11]

[KyleC603]

Goood lyrics man.

[sophabreel]

wow i'm a fan.. this rap is off the chain! as an SA sufferer i can't help but love this song and the lyrics i can relate to 100% great tune! i used to rap when i was younger. got bit annoyed when peeps were like why would a shy girl like u be rapping?

[citycertified]

Love the music. If I had a label I'd sign you. You're nice bro. Your style is live, and if you hooked up with the right band, you'd be damn near unstoppable.

Just remember the money for real hip hop is in the live shows, so move it that way and you'll bank hard.

[TheKiidMAVERICK]

Im 16 but an old soul.

[TheKiidMAVERICK]

Ive listened to this when i was younger now I rap and it helped me build my confidence as an individual. I was wonderin if you wanted to collab, my mic isnt the best but I speak clearly, Im hoping to get signed soon but I dont have access to a studio that doesent want a wad of money.I never get writers block be.-T-Mav spittin that he could pass a poly graph

[DeviantPsyche1]

This shits tight! Speakin the truth man

[TheRealYoungGeo]

hey man I got social anxiety too, we must do a song because from this anxiety I have mastered rap flow

[twitchster227]

damn dude u r the shit i listen to ur songs everyday dawg

[CraigBarduk]

Hey, this is actually really cool. I can definitely relate to the subject matter here. It takes some guts to make a song like this, especially in a genre where projecting an image of being the "cream of the crop" in most areas of life, whether through lyrics or videos, is the norm. The lyrics are funny at times, clever throughout, flow reminds me of Eminem while your voice itself reminds me of Pharoahe Monch. I like the beat alot too. Keep up the good work.

[LukeK2010]

haha this is sick mate. well good, nice one

[LukeK2010]

haha this is sick mate. well good, nice one

[aricuzzi]

ooo snaap!. snap! pose! snap snap!

[DesertSmeagle]

hmm. usual these songs i find on this fukin disorder are retarded fuckholes of disgrace.. this ones actually cool...its not a song about fuckers bein proud about being social phobic. its about the shit u have to go through.. i wish i could play this to my sports teammates...fukin cock sukers.

[Vgplaya89]

[kenzyboy2k6]

truely spoke to me on a personal level, sort of explains the way i feel at the moment, good tune too (Y) keep it up

[reedownsyou]

maaa boyyyyyyy!

[Slimhugo18]

Damn dude, please keep puttin' out shit like this. I don't even listen to rap, not gonna lie, but I have to respect this. I know good music when I hear it. Peace.

[bazadc]

ey its ruben this shits sick

[14illmatic]

thanks to everyone who's shown an interest so far. You inspire to keep this thing going. I actually just got two more beats today, so I'm going to be holding off on the video for this a little longer. I might even switch the song for the video. But anyway, keep checking back in for the next 3 to 4 weeks. I'll likely have a new song uploaded by then. Possibly even two. Thanks again!

[whataaaa]

Is there anyway i can download this song?

[14illmatic]

i'm working on that. My soundclick page hasn't been approved yet. Just come back in a couple days and i should have it up

[14illmatic]

nvr mind, it's up. just go to the more info section and you can find directions for downloading it

[whataaaa]

@14illmatic

Awesome thanks, can't wait to hear more.

[WayUpThereFarAway]

Hey this is really good! I have to agree with what others said about some parts are hard to understand.. Cant wait to see the video for this! *subbed*

[comscar]

[MrIbanez87]

Heart and soul went into this. i can just tell...

[mmac312]
