All In Your Head
J.PERIOD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spending all of our time inside our brain
Anxiety, society
My Model 3 on the side of me
Found a method to be not insane
If you're looking for one, I got a way
For God's sake, don't think about our fate
Slowly down the pace
When searching the soul then
Look some and you will find
That all of your woes they're
In your mind
You talk to your homies
About all the baloney
And I can't seem to find a reason why
(1-2-3... Hit it!)
It's all in your mind, babe
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind, babe
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind, babe
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind, babe
It's all in your mind
Stop the games
Thinking that I'm cuckoo, possibly
When I'm on the hook I'm Dr. J
Know you probably think there's lots to say
No, not today
'Cause I heed y'all flow
Your dialogue internally will seize y'all goals
When the network is your default mode
I read all code
The Matrix, I say this
And free y'all soul
When searching the soul then
Look some and you will find
That all of your woes they're
In your mind
You talk to your roni
About all the baloney
And I can't seem to find a reason why
(1-2-3... Hit it!)
It's all in your mind, babe
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind, babe
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind, babe
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind, babe
It's all in your mind
Well, damn...
Gahdamn Tone, you snapped on this shit
Psychologically, our brains are gobbledegoo
Biologically, our lives are an anomaly too
So the song that I was singing ain't dismissive, believe
I'm just making sure your diagnosis isn't from me
But a statement on my theory I should probably do
Thus ensuring my perspective isn't possibly skewed
If you're feeling like you're out of it and caught in a rut
Have a motherfucking breather then be quiet as fuck
And as you think stuff
That's your "de.mo.n"
Demon, DMN, de.mo.n, DMN
(Default mode, default mode network)
Well shit, man
The lyrics of J. Period's song, All In Your Head, reflect on the idea that our minds control us and that we are often caught up in our own thoughts, leading to anxiety and stress. The rapper talks about how he has found a way to remain sane amidst all the chaos and encourages the listener to slow down and focus on their breath. He acknowledges that our brains are complex and sometimes overwhelming, but we should not be consumed by the fear of our fate. Instead, we should understand that our problems and anxieties lie primarily in our minds.
The rapper talks about how our minds are filled with internal dialogues that often distract us from our goals. He suggests that we need to break free from these dialogues and allow ourselves to think clearly. He acknowledges that this takes practice and that we must make the effort to free our souls. The lyrics suggest that by focusing on our breath, we can learn to control our thoughts and live a more fulfilling life.
In summary, the song is about finding inner peace and control by focusing on our breath and acknowledging that our anxieties and fears are primarily in our minds. The lyrics encourage the listener to take control of their thoughts and their lives.

"A musical journey in 3 acts." It's finally starting to happen, the art coming out of the pandemic is speaking to the moment. Of course, it helps having Dave Chappelle set the stage, there's something about the sound of his voice, the timbre, it's in the key of integrity.
