When your mind ain't right, and it's hard to sleep

And you try to hide the pain, but your scars are deep

Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you see, yea

When your mind ain't right, and it's hard to sleep

And you try to hide the pain, but your scars are deep

Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you see And my heart is like

There's one thing poppa told me

If nothing else in this world, it's how to survive

When I'm against all odds, and when the odds against me

I travel wherever my path may lead

Knowing nobody got my back like me I'm gonna survive

And if you walk in my shoes

Guarantee you'll be just like me

And my heart is like

And if you leave me alone in the V with the chrome

I won't hurt nothing, but I need to be alone Nigga just me and my Sam Cooke tapes

And my heart is like

And baby if you don't understand

Then I gotta let you go go go

Geah And my heart is like

I'm talking all along the way

With all I used to say, I almost couldn't take it

Said I wouldn't make it, to be twenty one

I'm a stand up on my own two And my heart is like

I've traveled high and low and

If there's one thing I know I know I know

I know how to survive When your mind ain't right, and it's hard to sleep

And you try to hide the pain, but your scars are deep
