What the Mind Needs (Introvert)

eL enigmA Ya tu Sabe' Espero que entiendan esto I keep pushing myself Never taking a break Always thinking If I stop I'm just sealing my fate And if I'm being honest My own damn conscious Keeps running So I'ma do whatever it takes To be better than before but I swear that shit be stressing me Just like when I left lil shawty, She kept on textin' me Just like in Memphis City Schools, niggas were checkin' me And yet I swerved all them obstacles but this one gets to me See I can't seem to get away from the grind They talk about it daily like it's a hell of a time "How many hours did you spend?" Man that's all that I hear And when you stop, you get calm but then you have fear Of not doing enough and also doing too much Of being shamed when you end the day with a blunt Of not having it together, at least on the surface Of getting to the end and realize it wasn't worth it I just need a second to think "But you gotta…" I just need a second to think "It's due at…" I just need a second to think A nigga workload increases every time that he blinks We work for 24 hours and we still feel behind We tell ourselves, we ain't unique, there's always 2 of a kind I swear I gotta take some time To learn how listen, feel and focus on the needs of my mind I swear I gotta take some time To learn how listen, feel and focus on the needs of my mind Recojo mi telefono y empiezo a escrolear En la media social que me dice "Aprovechar el momento porque es fácil olvidar Las memorias tan bonitas que nos ponen a callar" Es algo dulce tranquilizarse Y saber que a uno mismo debe amarse Y cuando ella decida de él librarse Estaré aquí pa' cuando quiera enamorarse Acuérdate que no hay nadie como tú Eres lindo como el mar y fuerte como bambú Todos tus pensamientos son fuera de este mundo No te compares, como tú eres no hay ninguno Y mientras te digo esto, no acepto mis consejos Constantemente me cayo boca apuntada a los cielos Por la presión de un futuro donde solo tengo cero Eso se llama una vida controlada por el miedo De no hacer bastante y hacer demasiado De terminar el día con un Philly a tu lado De no estar listo cuando la gente te vea De llegar al fin y aprender que no valió la pena I just need a second to think "But you gotta…" I just need a second to think "It's due at…" I just need a second to think A nigga workload increases every time that he blinks We work for 24 hours and we still feel behind We tell ourselves, we ain't unique, there's always 2 of a kind I swear I gotta take some time To learn how listen, feel and focus on the needs of my mind I swear I gotta take some time To learn how listen, feel and focus on the needs of my mind I just need a second to think "But you gotta…" I just need a second to think "It's due at…" I just need a second to think A nigga workload increases every time that he blinks I work for 24 hours and I still feel behind I tell myself, I ain't unique, there's always 2 of a kind I swear I gotta take some time To learn how listen, feel and focus on the needs of my mind I swear I gotta take some time To learn how listen, love and focus on the needs of my mind
