NaturaL State of Mind

Natural state of mine Natural state of mind In a city where if you make it out you forget where you came from A city where they may try to take you out but you might stay in the same slum A city where the streets might change ya route but it really ain't none They say that this city slow but we ain't dumb I tried to move my baby back but she ain't come I might've traveled out the state but I ain't run Yeah everyone in a race like we chase a penant Just give me a place on the hill next to the river with a couple girls in it In a city where everyone wants to take the freeway It's a pity how social media got everyone thirsty for screenplay A place where you got hoods not a zone and no teamplay A race better ran alone so no relay Whatever the case ain't no more room in the county A place where ya better run if you make it out they takin bounty Oh if I could just see my son but it stay cloudy Everyone on a pill but think it's fun but they drowsy They say it's a constant struggle between a rock and a hard place In trouble doing 23 and 1s them was hard days But still I role the dice and take the game how the card plays My kinfolk having to pay a price eating off hard trays Everyone can't be on that road it ain't wide enough You know you can smell paper don't even try the bluff If you don't make it you gotta be a faker but I done lied enough I just wanted to feel numb later so I tried the stuff It's a whole lot more out here you just gotta wanna see more Even when the road ain't clear we just take a detour Youngin settled for less but he need more They wait until they evacuate us then they go and restore But they wasn't worried about things being ran down before On the outside looking in it's not hard to find My kinfolk never seen better but he really blind I'm woke just thinking clever I had to change my mind
