[Joey Bada$$ - Piece of Mind lyrics]
Hello? Yeah I hear you bro, I hear you
You got a minute? Yeah I got a quick sec
Alright I want you to hear somethin'
I'mma play somethin' for you alright?
Alright, alright yo yo you hear it bro?
Yeah
Yeah alright listen, listen
Let me tell you what shit
Is like right now y'all
What's life like now, tryna figure out
They put this mic on trial
Cause he be killin' now
Forever bitin' my forbidden style
Been laying low for a minute in the game
Since I came all these niggas lookin' timid
My light could never dimith
The Lord is my shepherd
Jesus woke a devil in him
Since sinnin' with least effort
Thinking back to those lefferts days
And I ain't been the same
Since I left 6th grade my mind strayed
Used to have the biggest heart
Taking walks with abuela in the park
I used to tell her
I'ma grow propellers one day and
Be a good fella play the hero or whoever
The hood gon' tell us
Let's just pray it ain't the villain
Till then I be feeling some way
Thinkin' I can get the Maybach off gun play
Instead I let the words play
With 90 beats a minute
Bet the streets lose a heart
Beat before the verse finish
But life goes on, basic rules still apply
Bet you can feel that line in
Any hood you live by
From Flatbush to Figg side
I was a schoolboy too
Hoppin' trains, I just missed my Q
And what's life like for me, it's but a dream
Everything ain't what it seems, up underneath
The surface is but a screen, we only see
What we know
And what's life like for me, it's but a dream
Everything ain't what it seems, up underneath
The surface is but a screen, we only see
What we know
And what's life like now, I can't figure out
They put my mans on trial
Say he a killer now
Conspiracies, we gon' get you out
Just keep ya head up G, shit is wild
It's bugged out cause I know
You tryna see your child
But I'mma hold you down still
Cause you my brother i just gave Will a lil'
Somethin' for your baby mother
But don't stress
Know you caught up in some bs
Bet next time you see us
We gonna be our best
Love you my nigga, word is bond
You'll stay strong
Out in New York the same shit is goin' on
Peace to all my brothers who
Keep still holdin' on been away so long
Feel like a tickin' time bomb
The misjudgment of my kind
Whom the odds is against
Put our backs on the fence
So we self defence
Followed by a series of unfortunate events
Looking like white America got
A brother again
And what's life like for me, it's but a dream
Everything ain't what it seems, up underneath
The surface is but a screen, we only see
What we know
And what's life like for me, it's but a dream
Everything ain't what it seems, up underneath
The surface is but a screen, we only see
What we know
Take shots to the face with no peace of mind
Give me my piece of mind
Take shots to the face with no peace of mind
Give me my piece of mind
This life is all we know
This life is all we know
Man that's crazy yo, that's amazing B
Thank you bro word bro
That one is for you my nigga
Good lookin' bro, good lookin' man that just
Boosted my adrenaline it's been ages
I gotta get out this joint b
I love y'all man, real bro, for real
Man i think by every day that go by
I just be thinkin' bout y'all
For real you, Kirk, everybody bro i
Heard the new one on Rosenberg
That shit is a bomber b
Oh you heard that shit!
You got a minute? Yeah I got a quick sec
Alright I want you to hear somethin'
