On My Mind
Tony And The Shantels Lyrics

Aye aye
The artist is getting the listener's attention.

Aye don’t worry about where I’ve been man
The artist wants the listener to focus on the present and not ask too many questions about the past.

I’ve been somewhere writing man
The artist has been busy writing music.

That’s all you need to know
The artist doesn't want to share more information about their whereabouts.

You can say I got a lot on my mind
The artist has a lot to think about and reflect on.

I don’t know how to say it so I write down these lines
The artist expresses themselves through writing music.

Everything that I own ain’t mine
The artist doesn't own everything they have, such as debts and bills.

Still grind cause the bills that I got still mine
The artist is motivated to work hard and pay off their bills.

Ain’t lazy but I hate punching clocks
The artist is hardworking but dislikes the monotony of a typical 9-5 job.

Nine to five ain’t paying what I want
The artist wants to earn more money than they currently do.

Ain’t balling but sometimes I can dunk
The artist isn't wealthy but has moments of success and joy.

Really tryna get a leg up like a punt
The artist is working hard to improve their circumstances.

Nigga really been fed up from the jump
The artist has been frustrated for a long time.

Once I take a hit of the wood then I’m good
The artist enjoys smoking marijuana for relaxation.

Once I get a bag imma move like I should
The artist will take action once they obtain what they need.

Cause I’m still on go like the engine that could
The artist is motivated and determined to succeed.

Do it look like I really give a damn what a nigga talking bout
The artist doesn't care about other people's opinions or comments.

Pull up to his function get it jumping in the parking lot
The artist is confident and can make any event exciting.

Nigga that are haters be the main ones that talk a l
The artist has experienced negativity and criticism.

Say pull up in Cali but it’s hard to find a parking spot
The artist acknowledges the difficulty in finding parking in California.

I ain’t got time for the games
The artist doesn't want to waste time on unimportant matters.

I’ve been switching lanes Switched up
The artist has made changes in their life and career.

Oh you thought I wouldn’t change
The artist is challenging the listener's expectations.

On gang I cannot feel the same
The artist has changed and can't go back to their old ways.

Cause you never felt the pain
The artist's struggles are unique to them and others can't understand it fully.

When your back against the wall in the rain
The artist has faced difficult situations.

But I ain’t tryna talk about that right now
The artist doesn't want to dwell on past struggles.

I’m just tryna get a couple racks right now
The artist's current focus is on making money.

Wasn’t there then, don’t tryna back me now
People who weren't supportive before shouldn't try to take credit for the artist's success now.

Hate to see I’m on go they tryna back me down
The artist feels like others are trying to bring them down despite their progress.

So fuck that imma buck back if they rushing
The artist will fight back against anyone who tries to threaten or harm them.

Still on the grind wish I wasn’t
The artist is tired of working hard but still motivated to achieve more.

Shout out to my cousin
The artist is giving a shoutout to their family member.

Use to give me work like it’s nothing
The artist's cousin used to provide them with work or opportunities without hesitation.

Had to turn nothing into something
The artist had to make something out of nothing through hard work and effort.

I was out hustling
The artist was working hard and grinding to achieve their goals.

I ain’t really do too much trusting
The artist didn't trust many people during their journey.

Shit but it was what it was then
The artist accepts the past and acknowledges the struggles they faced.

Nigga but it was what it was then aye
The artist is reminiscing on their past experiences.
