Lyrics Mind of Me - Paradox AON

Been a long time coming I've been waiting mane
Father
Fill me with discernment
Lead me to my destiny let me fulfill my purpose
I've been hit with family curses
Bloody streets I've witnessed murders
You gon' judge me for belief then I don't need you in my circle

I don't believe what all they say
I got my fuckin mind to think
I think religions made of man and what they want your ass to think
So, put your brain down in this sink
And drown your brain so you can't blink
Just another day in paradox I'mma tell you what I think
I think that mans on a mission
That mans on a mission
I just must skipped the class missed em' cause I can't seem to get they picture
Unorthodox with my scripture
I be learning from it all
Took a charge one for my dawg
Now he don't wan't pick up my call
I don't trust no man
And naw you ain't my fam
I got my choppa beside me and it don't fuckin jam
And we just tryna be fathers
Raise up our daughters with knowledge
Hope that when they go to college
Walk cross that stage with some honors
Integrity is my goal
I write these words with my soul
You know that one that got stole
But I went back got one in coal
My heart a diamond all the pressure that's what bring out my glow
And I can't give that to no hoe
Said I won't give that to no hoe

Heart pumpin'
No windows
Got shot out bout a mile back
Had me flashin' back to them old days where they shot at us and we shot back
They shot bruh
We shot black
Can't say no names
Can't state facts
Just know that shit really hurt
Had to, gave so much love to get burnt bad
True story but no statement
I miss Jeff I miss wasting
Nights together chasing feelings of this world
But now I'm faced with life alone
Burnt some bridges down to bones
Through some shots inside they home
Bullet cracked and hit that dome
Fear of retaliation
This another denomination
Youngsters in a fucking nation
Quick to act in confrontation
Really don't want no conversation
You get killed for violation
Just know I'm changin'
This side of me still dangerous
I can't tell you life is painless

But pain seems to be the only thing that ever helped me grow
Motivation yes, I'm real
Twenty-three hours one on tier
Gotta be strong don't drop no tear
My dawg just lost all his appeals
And that muh fucker got a hundred years
I'm just lucky to be right here for real

Fill me with discernment
Lead me to my destiny let me fulfill my purpose
It gets lonely on this journey
See here lately I've been learnin
If they judge me for belief, then I don't need them in my circle
Need 'em in my circle
I don't
I been going through some change in my life
People change
People change
But I done learned to stay the same
I done learned to stay the same
I done learned to stay the same
Never change
