20syl featuring Rita J Lyrics

In my head
The thoughts that occupy my mind

Y-y-y-yo
An exclamation indicating enthusiasm

Yeah
An affirmation of the previous statement

Far away from home
Being distant from where one is familiar

Ima-im-imagination roams
The mind wanders creating new perceptions

(Everybody everybody) everybody's wrong
Others' opinions are frequently mistaken

Re-wrote the song
Change is necessary to make progress

Thoughts become action
Ideas have a significant impact on behavior

Tell me what's happ'nin'
Request for information regarding current events

What's your mind wrapped in
What is influencing your perceptions

Or wrapped around (wra-wrapped around, wra-wra-wrapped around)
Or what is surrounding those thoughts

Psyche sabotage
The conscious mind undermines itself

Your Nike's need a jog
Physical activity is beneficial for mental wellness

Portraits in the fog
Clarity is obscured

Filter out the smo-o-og
Remove the haze of confusion

Information log
Record keeping of past events

So fast the past recalls
Memories resurface quickly

You back the future stalls
Inhibiting progress by dwelling on the past

Fade to black the present calls
Live in the present moment

Pull out some liquor for the homies lost
Honoring those who are no longer with us

Gone away I'ma make you say in my head
Create a lasting memory of myself in your mind

Hella memories (mem-erase)
Try to forget the past by replacing it with new experiences

Those voices
Internal dialogues or external opinions

Call
Requests for attention

Come and make me sing
An opportunity to express oneself

(?) the writing on the wall
Unclear information or uncertain future

It's lovely when the stars all align it'll be fun
Hope for a positive future

You're too fat you're too thin
Criticism of one's physical appearance

You're too small you're too tall
Criticism of one's size

Confidence remindin' all
Encouragement to believe in oneself

I probably won't get the call
Expectation of failure

A pessimist won't take the risk
Negative attitude prevents growth

No, name's not on the list treat it
Denial of access to opportunities

Take a piss on your dreams heat it
Disregard for one's aspirations

Hard to believe when you don't believe it
Impossible to achieve what is not perceived as achievable

You don't need it
Self-deprecation of one's worthiness

It's destined, relapse around a lesson
Adversity as a means of growth

Miracles, blessing
Gratitude for the extraordinary

Oppressed with the stressin'
Feeling burdened by responsibilities

Forever guessing
Perpetual uncertainty

Vision blocked
Inability to recognize opportunities

No need for props
Contentment with oneself without material things

The pimpin' stops
One recognizes the need to stop living life recklessly

Pluckin' and pullin' He Love Me Nots
Efforts to remove negative influences from one's life

Stay inside the box the safe locked
Preferential to a predictable and secure life

You won't be mocked
Fear of criticism prevents risks

Fully stocked of excuses
Opportunities for excuses present themselves

Doin' it is useless
Negative perception of the value of effort

Faithless, popped
Lack of trust in oneself and beliefs

The ball was in yo' hands
The opportunity was presented to you

Slipped and dropped
Failed to seize an opportunity

I cram to understand
Difficulty in comprehending a situation

Your life flipped and flopped
Experiences have drastically changed

Cancel all your plans
Plans are constantly disrupted
