In my head
Y-y-y-yo
Yeah

Far away from home
Ima-im-imagination roams
(Everybody everybody) everybody's wrong
Re-wrote the song

Thoughts become action
Tell me what's happ'nin'
What's your mind wrapped in
Or wrapped around (wra-wrapped around, wra-wra-wrapped around)
What's-what's your mind wrapped in or wrapped around
Psyche sabotage
Your Nike's need a jog
Portraits in the fog
Filter out the smo-o-og
Information log
So fast the past recalls
You back the future stalls
Fade to black the present calls
Pull out some liquor for the homies lost
For the homies, for the homies, for the homies lost
Pull out some liquor for the homies lost
Gone away I'ma make you say in my head
Hella memories (mem-erase)

Yo, yo, yo, yeah
Yo, yo, y-yo
Yo, yeah, yo, yo
Those voices
Those voices
Those voices
Those voices in my head
Those voices in my head

Those voices call
Call
Come and make me sing
Oh-oh
Those voices call
Call
Come and make me sing
Oh-oh

(?) the writing on the wall
It's lovely when the stars all align it'll be fun
Far away from home
Imagination roams
Everybody's wrong
Re-wrote the song

Those voices, Those voices
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices in my head
Those voices in my head

Those voices, Those voices
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices in my head
Those voices in my head

Those voices, Those voices
Those voices, Those voices
Those voices in my head
Those voices in my head

You're too fat you're too thin
You're too small you're too tall
Confidence remindin' all
I probably won't get the call
A pessimist won't take the risk
No, name's not on the list treat it
Take a piss on your dreams heat it
Hard to believe when you don't believe it
You don't need it
It's destined, relapse around a lesson
Miracles, blessing
Oppressed with the stressin'
Forever guessing
Vision blocked
No need for props
The pimpin' stops
Pluckin' and pullin' He Love Me Nots
Stay inside the box the safe locked
You won't be mocked
Fully stocked of excuses
Doin' it is useless
Faithless, popped
The ball was in yo' hands
Slipped and dropped
I cram to understand
Your life flipped and flopped
Cancel all your plans
You just missed your stop

Those voices call
Call
Come and make me sing
Oh-oh

Those voices call
Call
Come and make me sing
Oh-oh

Those voices
Those voices in my head

It's lovely when the stars all align it'll be fun
Far away from home

Overall Meaning

The song, "Voices" by 20 Syl, is a reflection on the power and influence of the internal monologue we all have inside our heads. The lyrics mention being far away from home, and that the imagination roams, which suggests that the singer is feeling disconnected and lost. The repeated line "everybody's wrong, re-wrote the song" could be interpreted as a rejection of the external voices and opinions around them, and a desire to rewrite their own story. The verses reflect on the difficulty of navigating the internal voices that can lead to self-sabotage and doubt. The chorus, "Those voices in my head, come and make me sing" suggests that despite the challenges, the singer wants to find a way to use these voices as inspiration and motivation to create something positive.
