Piece of Mind

Hello?

Yeah, I hear you bro, I hear you

You got a minute, bro?

Yeah, I got a little minute, got a quick sec

Alright, I want you to hear somethin'

I'ma play somethin' for you, alright?

Alright, alright

Yo, yo, you hear it, bro?

Yeah

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 layin' low for a minute in the game

Since I came, all these **** lookin' timid

My light could never dimith, the Lord is my shepherd

Jesus woke a devil in him since sinnin' with least efforts

Thinkin' back to those Lefferts days

And I ain't been the same since I left sixth grade

My mind strayed, used to have the biggest heart

Takin' walks with Abuela in the park, 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

Tell them I be feeling some way

Thinkin' I can get the Maybach off gun play

Instead, I let the words play with ninety beats a minute

Bet the streets lose a heartbeat 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 cue

And what's life like for me? It's but a dream

Oh

Everything ain't what it seems, up underneath

The surface is but a screen, we only see

Ah

What we know, know

And what's life like for me? It's but a dream

Oh

Everything ain't what it seems, up underneath

The surface is but a screen, we only see

Ah

What we know, 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 tryin' to see your child

But I'ma 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 B.S.

Bet next time you see us, we gonna be our best

Love you my ****, 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-defense

Followed by a series of unfortunate events

Lookin' like white America got a brother again

And what's life like for me? It's but a dream

Oh

Everything ain't what it seems, up underneath

The surface is but a screen, we only see

Ah

What we know, know

And what's life like for me, it's but a dream

Oh

Everything ain't what it seems, up underneath

The surface is but a screen, we only see

Ah

What we know, know

Take shots to the face with no peace of mind

Give me my peace of mind

Take shots to the face with no peace of mind

Give me my peace of mind

This life is all we know

This life is all we know

Oh, ah

Oh, ah

Yo, yo, yo

Man, that's crazy yo, that's amazing B

Thank you, bro

Word, bro

That one is for—

That one is for you, my ****

Good lookin' bro, good lookin', man

That just boosted my adrenaline, you know

It's been ages, I gotta get out this joint, B

Hey, I love y'all, man, for 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 that new one on Rosenberg, that shit is a bomber, B

Oh, you heard that shit?!
