Songtexte Piece of Mind - Joey Bada$$

Hello?
Yeah, I hear you bro, I hear you
You got a minute bro?
Yeah, I got a little minute, little 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, yo, yo

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
Tell 'em 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

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′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 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

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, 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?
