Oliver - ...Mindset... Lyrics

Expressing myself...
Always showed emotion, however I felt...
Never been easy, tension has built
But I still have feelings... I admit I need help...

Having conversations with God...
I know that we don't talk much, but I've been learning a lot...
Having second thoughts... back when I was living hopeless...
He was the one giving grace in the dark moments...

And the doubters keep me focused...
I love it when the public doesn't wanna take notice...
And your back against the wall forcing you to find a motive...
Thats why every song I make my lyrics reflect devotion...

And I gotta succeed...
Let me break it down for you... here's the list that I need...
Couple haters... few brothers... and a good family
Im sticking to that recipe until they bury me deep

Please tell me I lost it...
Those words right there will let skeletons out the closet...
Or force a couple bars that you'll never comprehend...
Cause the fact of the matter is... I am not them...

Minds are so weak nowadays...
Pills on the shelf... popping to help the pain...
Yeah... and it's a Sad situation...
Man These people needed guidance, instead...they lost patience...

Yeah... And I just has to say it...
Cause if I don't address it, it's socially accepted...
Placing blame on ignorance and adolescence...
But as long as I'm here, i'm trying to spread the message...

You know I cant play the victim...
Ive never been the person who can sit back and listen...
I always been anxious, always knew how to get it...
And God was always giving... all I needed was religion...

Reminiscing, hanging out with that old crew
Chik flia and sonic drive thrus...
All of us growing apart was never in my view...
When life handed me lemons... I had to make a move...

And now I'm on a different mission
I wanna travel the world... talk about being distant...
You know I never had an issue being Independent...
I guess i can owe that to lack of supervision...

Or my dad being superintendent...
He could've walked away and made the easy decision...
Look... and I just have to mention... I think both of parents truly had good intentions...

Yeah... Shaped me into a man...
22, two degrees, and A whole lifespan...
Gave me opportunities that were never part of the plan...
Forever grateful and blessed... just hope you know that I am...

And I never had the most likes...
But that don't define what I've been doing right
Imma get it, i promise, i see it in sight
I could've stopped, the struggle it gave me every right

Tempos... lay low... and flow again...
A lot people told me to let it go again...
Saying these are different times... man you need to quit...
I had to keep the pen close to let em know again...

All I need is a beat to take the pain away
Dont need a pat on the back, never needed the praise...
Just needed my brain, my mental in a clear state...
Now I'm ready than ever, I got a full plate...

My mind set... goals ready and far fetched...
I never keep em in reach cause where's the fun in that?
I used to love it when people would say I'm done in rap
Well... You can tell 'em all that I'm coming back...
