In My Head
Nyota Parker Lyrics
Cause I've been in my head
I've been in my mind, I've been in my head yeah
Cause I've got nothing left I can leave behind
Gotta look ahead yeah yeah
Cause I've been in my head yeah
I've been in my mind, I've been in my head
Cause I've got nothing left I can leave behind
Gotta look ahead yeah
Uh, see I was told once before that I would never strive
To stay down and roll over so I can never thrive
It took a toll on a brother, hung my head in strife
Until the healing hand of God brought me back to life
But wait up, wait a minute, yeah uh
Here we go
The Lord and Savior in my presence and I feel his glow
His inspiration fills the room and I can see my goals
I'm on a whole other plane, I'm on a different flow
Being in my head, being in my mind
I want a clean cut course for a higher life
I want two black Benz's and a motorbike
I want the industry and this believe the entire time
It's my life, it's not perfect but it's all mine
Want my success to shine through to all of mankind
Follow your path and trust the process
You'll be alright, alright
Cause I've been in my head
I've been in my mind, I've been in my head yeah
Cause I've got nothing left I can leave behind
Gotta look ahead yeah yeah
Cause I've been in my head yeah
I've been in my mind, I've been in my head
Cause I've got nothing left I can leave behind
Gotta look ahead yeah
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Cause you've been in your mind hoping stars align
Hoping they design a perfect life for you to get behind
And call it unrefined
You thought you'd trust the process
But is it genuine when you're tryna lose all the excess
These the elements that's gonna teach you how to finesse
Or how to progress, how to transcend
How you gon suppress everything that built your character?
That's like tryna make something organic without nature
And yes I know 'cause I've said it before
Felt like it needed its shine
and just like you in due time, you're gone reach your prime
How you gon reach the top if you don't know how to climb or harness yourself
You gon be left on a loop, call that a conveyer belt
Don't let your ego stop you from ever seeking help
And your heart down the line with forever seek itself
And I know that we're inclined to leave that dust up on the shelf
So if you're looking for a sign
Hey it's me to myself
Cause I've been in my head
I've been in my mind, I've been in my head yeah
Cause I've got nothing left I can leave behind
Gotta look ahead yeah yeah
Cause I've been in my head yeah
I've been in my mind, I've been in my head
Cause I've got nothing left I can leave behind
Gotta look ahead yeah
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
Gotta watch my head, gotta watch my mind
Gotta watch my heart, gotta lose control
I've been in my mind, I've been in my head yeah
Cause I've got nothing left I can leave behind
