In My Mind ft. RoadsArt Lyrics

Silence all around me, grows louder everyday

There's somewhere I can go, the world will never find

There’s a place that I can go that’s only mine

In my mind

I'm elevating to the highest degree

On a journey through the mind open your eye you can see

It gets deeper than the depth of the ocean

My thoughts are tides rippling throughout the sea of emotion

Pure devotion, got no love for the other side

My right hemisphere is left with thoughts of a homicide

It's dedicated to the pain that can last

Haunted by the image of a ghost from the past

Then the silence all around me gets louder everyday

Weight of the world on my shoulder can't seem to find a way

I travel deep in the mind, sometimes its harder find

The place I go where its mine, the memory of a time

When I was living up, no giving up

Gotta find a way up out this hole I'm digging before the gig is up

In other words I got a mountain to climb

Thinking out loud, stuck inside the thoughts in my mind

Silence all around me, grows louder everyday

There's somewhere I can go, the world will never find

There’s a place that I can go that’s only mine

In my mind

The only place that I can go to escape

All the pressures of this life ‘cause I ain’t wearin' no cape

But my daughter still looks up to me like I’m Superman

She thinks i could do it all, I just do what I can

It’s a cold world, baby, I’m just here to provide

Life is like a roller coaster, I’m just here for the ride

I’m fine with you by my side, you keep me in line

When I’m alone i find myself goin’ deep in my mind

Back into the past when i was cookin' with gas

Somebody even lookin’ at me wrong I’m whoopin’ they ass

And if i ain’t like the subject i was cuttin' that class

I used to make a couple bucks off of cuttin' some grass

I was getting cut from calisthenics, makin' cuts on the field

Til i muffed up my dream & got cut from the team

And Coach ain’t understand that that shit cut me in half

Screw you and this school plus the rest of the staff

I chose to drop out ‘cause i was startin' to flunk

Stereotypes of a ghetto boy, it was destined from jump

That’s the story of my life and it was written to fail

You get treated like the devil when you livin' in hell

Mama was a fiend, sometimes she tried to stay clean

We couldn’t go nowhere in public without causin' a scene

Cocaine was caffeine, that was a daily routine

And that’s the major reason why she died when i was a teen

See, Daddy was a junky, never settled his debts

Stayed with opiate sets, waking up in cold sweats

Every mattress had burn holes from rolled cigarettes

We had food stamps for money, cockroaches for pets

Had shoes from Payless, who could i try to impress

There was a time when i ain’t even have a dime to invest

That’s why i strive for the best ‘cause i survived through the mess

There’s so much up inside my chest that i have suppressed

I gotta break the cycle for my seeds so they can be freed

To proceed to do what they need so they can succeed

I just hope that I’m around to see them make their dad proud

It’s like these thoughts in my head sometimes are just so damn loud

When It’s quiet I’m a riot and i just wanna shout

All the weight on my shoulder, role model, householder

Everyday I’m gettin’ older i know time’s runnin’ out

These expectations have become a fixation

Depression from the pressure, stress and frustration

Brainwaves racin’, heart palpitations

No hesitation to cause standing ovations

Temptations to kill shit ...lost in translation
