On My Mind
Follow this, a young boy coming up in hard times
Seen what the streets can do but on family he relies
Hungry for the mountain top so he can share the prize
Hungry for the mountain top so mom can dry her eyes
For his pops had passed away a week after his 13th
Now a young teen with tears running down his cheeks
But built to be strong, yes, even men can weep
Strength resides in your mind, tears don't mean that you're weak
Promised to himself "yo I'm gon' make you proud"
"I know you watching from the sky, I see your smile in the clouds"
"Lord, let my passion show between my lyrics for the crowds"
"Let my pain tell a story about disproving all the doubts"
He kept his low steady working on his flow
Complex metaphors, lyrical Michelangelo
Steady working on his craft
Moving forward from his past
Staying hungry and on track
Never satisfied with last
You been on my mind
And I just wanna write some lines
And talk to you
Talk to you
You been on my mind
And I just wanna write some lines
And talk to you
Talk to you
Father your boy done grown into a man
With shattered self esteem from playing all the wrong hands
Read the cards incorrectly, got into a jam
Cause she was Jelly, I was toast before the butter touched the pan
Before I crossed to foreign lands, to strangers who advanced
I had the perfect woman, yo I think you would've danced
For joy, your boy had landed perfection in human form
This lovely woman born with brilliance from under Jamaican storms
So much in common deep conversation was norm
She'd test my thoughts, then sharpen the blade some more
And who'd of thought I'd lose the woman I adored
Once a rich man now poor
Took for granted "mi amor"
Now reflections are all broken from monsters that live inside
And now I find myself crying, from pain I can't seem to hide
In this dark room, demons play in mental paradise
Wishing you were still alive so I could seek your advice
You been on my mind
And I just wanna write some lines
And talk to you
Talk to you
You been on my mind
And I just wanna write some lines
And talk to you
Talk to you
Seen what the streets can do but on family he relies
Hungry for the mountain top so he can share the prize
Hungry for the mountain top so mom can dry her eyes
For his pops had passed away a week after his 13th
Now a young teen with tears running down his cheeks
But built to be strong, yes, even men can weep
Strength resides in your mind, tears don't mean that you're weak
