MIND UP ft Ian Sutherland & Ace Da Vinci

When i was seventeen i drank some very good beer
My parents weren't even there BUT
Still overhear like no nair
Mamma say mama saw mama popped me in the jaw
When she saw me leanin at church

Lied but she won't eat it up reverse big lurch
Beat my ass black blue like my names poppa smurf
Is that the story that you need to grasp on something tangible
Offended i won't take a sip and soak it up like camels

And i won't smoke your camels
Cause my throat can't handle
I won't low my standards
Never give in to no pressure
Messiah man i am you feel it like a different teXture
Crickets clickin' bugging me to suckle on my nectar now they
Hugging on my neck a couple months ago this never
Woulda happened no it never would happened but now

Now you listen clapton clappin she cream ON the coffee napkin
CLEANING UP sloppy nappy haired me
ASKING HOW'D HE GO FROM RAGGEDY ASHY BLACK KID TO PRACTICALLY FLASHY dreamin of ROCKING STADIUM SEATs

NOW I'M INTERACTING BRAGGIN like HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN
MY CONFIDENCE ASTRONOMICALLY RISING

I REGRET EVERY DAY THAT I SPENT TRYING TO FIT IN YOUR POSITION
I FEEL BETER THAN EVER NOW THAT I CAN MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS
=========
I Made my mind up
Finally figured out whats right for me's not right for you
(how many days )
Did i sit around and

Waste my time
(i'm)
Fastly aging
( MOM'S)
FascinatED
(brains)
FULL OF asinine fantasys playing out in my mind
I'M NOT A LITTLE KID ANY MORE
=========
A prayer and a blunt before I hit the door
I'm hear to do the things you never did before
Get my daddy out his phone so he can hit the road
Got so much weight on my shoulders I walk pigeon toed

I think a lot
And worry more than ever
I'm a lover I'm a fighter I'm a warrior but better

I'm just going through the motions
Anxiety is high in me
I can be all that I can be, do whats right for me

So try to understand a complex man
Where the nonsense overrides your conscience
Try to keep calm yes, smoke away all stress
I am what you called blessed. Hallelujah
I'm a man in the making
My stance never shaking
My spirit never breaking
The world's for the taking
I'm hanging out with Nnamdi eating grilled cheese and bacon
I don't under stand why you're hatin
=======
I Made my mind up
