What's on My Mind
Twiztid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when they hit the store it's not my C.D. that they pickin' up
Maybe I'm too wicked for em Maybe they don't like me
Maybe they beneath me like the soles on my Nike's
Maybe they wanna do it all just to spite me
It might be, the reason that they're hating me nightly
Flight we, take off to an alternate light beam
Maybe I'm above em like a leer jet soarin'
Cuttin' through clouds like a butter knife, better life
But it's not best, feel it in my chest
Like my heart poundin' loud enough to split my fuckin' flesh
Maybe it's the way that I been keepin' it (underground)
People ain't really feelin' it, and hope for that (Puffy sound)
Now all I can reveal is it is what it is
We keep it horrorcore always, but it comes with a twist
And I'm alive all like a bible, I blaze in this bitch
And I can burn a piece of paper like I write for the bitch
You could be the first and the last it's whatever it is
And it really wouldn't matter because I'm killin' the shit
Tell me is it better
Tell me everything he met her
Ain't the start of the situation gettin all ugged up
I don't give a fuck what anybody trippin'
Got a map in my pocket and I'm steady on a mission
Got my back on the carpet and I'm starin' at the ceilin'
Thinkin' how can I explode and no one would catch feelin's
But some wishes will never come true
But for the moment I'ma grab a hold of those that really do
My mission is to flip it and make a person think
While you're steady missin' a beat, kinda like I blink
Even up in the streets, if I have to I got heat
In the trunk or on lined sheets, guns are fuckin' rhyme schemes
Try me so I can make an example and put a hole in you
Either with a knife or a pencil
They use me like a stencil of greatness
But their fakeness prevails and it drown in the abyss
I'm gone and hot headed when rage gets the best of me
I'm falling to pieces so you can blame it on the rest of me
My heart and soul especially
They got the keys to my mind as we ride over drive into destiny
I'm gone and hot headed when rage gets the best of me
I'm falling to pieces so you can blame it on the rest of me
My heart and soul especially
They got the keys to my mind as we ride over drive into destiny
The lyrics of Twiztid's song "What's on My Mind" deal with the rapper's frustrations with his career and the music industry. He accuses his critics of blaming him for his lack of success and not appreciating his style of music, which he describes as "horrorcore." Despite his underground following, Twiztid feels that he has not yet made it to the mainstream and that his style is not popular with the masses. He contemplates giving up and exploding but also acknowledges that some of his wishes will never come true. He then goes on to talk about his mission to make people think through his lyrics and how he uses his words as a form of self-defense.
One of the themes of the song is the struggle of artists to stay true to their craft while also trying to make it in the music industry. The phrase "maybe I'm too wicked for them" could be interpreted as a reference to the fact that Twiztid's style may not be palatable to the mainstream music audience. However, he is not willing to compromise his art for fame and money.
Another theme of the song is the conflict between Twiztid's desire to succeed and his frustration with the music industry. He acknowledges that he is not where he wants to be in his career and that he is having a difficult time getting there. However, he is determined to keep pushing and grinding until he gets his breakthrough.

Blackpilloverdose
What's on my mind
Stays on my mind
My mind envisions a new scene
Infecting the mainstream, with the Friday the 13th, mixed with Halloween
Spill it on your screen
Let it bump through your speakers
Till you pause mesmerized like a deer up in the high beams
Walkin' through a daydream, maybe you’re asleep
Fuck it I don't think it matters when you're becoming a creep
What's on my mind? Horror, death, blood and violence
Divided by antrum, two moments of silence
Where I sit alone in a room in a chair and I stare
Into a mirror and communicate with a monster that's there
And I'm scared to prepare the harness of death he requests
But it hurt cause he keeps blowing his way inside of my chest
And my mind says “Ah stop, it doesn’t really hurt
Shrug it off, don't be a pussy, go put another shirt"
A few drops of blood that bleed from me all the time
Put down the knife, for now
That’s all my mind says while I’m dying
I don’t think you’re ready for goin' in my head
Instead you got a better chance of waking up the dead
Or maybe finding a monster living under your bed
Or unlocking the door that you’ve been really afraid to go in
Pop a ouji board on the floor with a friend
And contact the dead and let the questions begin
I’m so much worst than sin
So they keep me all locked up so you’ll never see me again
Feel like I’m always in a battle, it's gettin' harder to handle
Like dripping wax from a candle, all I think about is hurting people
I’m not a hero, but they’re callin' me super evil
So I walk around with a cape and a xanax
Better keep me strapped to the mattress
And hope I never wake up from my dream with a sadness
But all I ever seem to see is a cloud of blackness
And my reality is just a catfish
