Mental Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its funny... The music always was fuh me.
Everyday I would hit play tho like it really
Was nothin'
But I knew it was somethin', I had this
Feelin what was it;
Like it's a one way discussion, between
My mind and my function
So it crafted my surface, and it built up
My purpose
Maybe not for the turf it's, more than the
Closing curtains
I know me I'm not perfect, imperfection
Is showing; switched up rhyme yes I'm
Knowing
Give me time, yes it's growin
Like a vine but not seven seconds
I can see me on several records,
But it's just me from Houston Texas
(Wait Slow down)
I know me I know the pressure
I'm friendly wit zero effort
Offend me But you know better,
The ending is far too clever
My mind is racin'
Vivid thoughts about reality that I'm misplaced in,
Or maybe I was placed in,
As quality replacement
Restoration chasin
Necks breaking from every pair of shoes my feet were laced in.
My confidence lacked
Always had the backpack
Never had me a strap
Cuz my words would clap back
I like them words When I rap
Intricate verbs when they spat
They on my mind and I remind you by my word that's a tat...
It's the word for attack, but it can also attract
A spotless mind I'm not Jhene and Thas a verbal subtract
I'm here to Vibe or, in fact
Fulfill my intuition
Pivot the thought of a better world that my kids could live in
Knowledge is ammunition, certainly the conditions are perfectly in position
Uncertainty blurs the vision
I never made the cut the decision made the incision
The minds a prison that robs the Pureness of what it lives in
It's bout that big money pass it to em, they heard about it
He want that thick shorty, a** and bussom, that curvy body
It's that curvy bodyyy that seems to curve everybody
She Cravin attention, and waitin, to swerve on anybody
Understanding of that Deceptions' a lethal weapon
Smith without a Westin, Powerfully manifested
And used for yah own protection
People count they blessins'
Forget to learn the lessons
When it gets too stressin
The battles now wit depression
No need to talk about it
We know the problem And God Is Callin so I can solve it
NASA gang cuz the sky's the limit my life's a mission




There's mortal (More to) life than delivery and them dirty dishes…
Jo-Mental

"Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me."

"Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not."

"Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."

Matthew 25:34-46

I've been to a psychiatric hospital in Albania for charity work, it looked just like this hospital. At least we fixed the hospital over there, and the patients were really grateful because we have them attention. Hopefully one day there this hospital will be made a sad place for all those people, may god bless them and their poor souls🙏

Some of these people need both mental help and medicines.

Id be nice if we donated close to experation date essentials to them. But no humane system for that has been established

What these poor people have to go through is just heartbreaking. I feel sorry for the ones who are there.

Spent 30 days in Costa Rican mental hospital tied up and at times held in solitary confinement. I was choked, and had feeding tube shoved down my throat via my nose. It was a horrible experience. No patient’s rights. My 83 year old mother had to get me outta there. I could not leave on my own accord. The PTSD as a result was debilitating for months afterwards. I’m bipolar. But I had no idea that I was until then.
