On My Mind

I stay trying You base what you know from the grapevine Tired of getting attached to what ain't mine Spitting the hottest raps and think it ain't fine Straight outta high-school Tend to reminisce What you think wasn't Was exactly what it is Truth is, we were kids and we gotta understand But maturity shouldn't come when you are a man And I guess it's Up to you and everything you want But I really feel I ain't doing enough With careers and relations Being black hard enough, with all our tribulations And I can't change it At least by myself Sad I gotta leave so you see I need help Then you're gonna blame me for the hand that you dealt Wanna start fighting, for the things that I felt And I'm going off topic damnit A lot on my mind, I don't understand it My man why you so dramatic You're up next, you're the new Illmatic Got a lot on my plate, but don't we all Still feel there's some place for food for thought Can't roll up my sleeve cause you'll break my heart I'm hella insecure, don't know where to start But I stay moving West side boy been on my grind I can't take it Way too much been on my mind And I stay moving West side boy been on my grind Guess I been tripping Way too much been on my mind I stay moving West side boy been on my grind I can't take it Way too much been on my mind And I stay moving West side boy been on my grind Guess I been tripping Way too much been on my mind It's not about age it's all XP Like if you're 50, you've got plenty Disrespect becomes resenting I should know better Though I was venting Now I'm regretting Explaining the things I've seen Trying to escape by sipping this codeine One line got you thinking I'm some dope fiend My honesty is taken as rude or mean Yes a problem I got Needs some work and I know it's a lot I'll take blame even when I know I'm not Got it twisted but tied in knot Like how you think I ain't smart cause of dreadlocks On my head and the reason I get shot Escape the pain with the shit in the ziplock Then say it is what it is and what not I stay moving West side boy been on my grind I can't take it Way too much been on my mind And I stay moving West side boy been on my grind Guess I been tripping Way too much been on my mind I stay moving West side boy been on my grind I can't take it Way too much been on my mind And I stay moving West side boy been on my grind Guess I been tripping Way too much been on my mind Got way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Got way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much Way too much
