[Verse 1: Traffik]
They used to say I was a fire spitter
Boss said I was a fired quitter, never been bitter
Kids bitter but young, yo they fitted with guns
The mental spit darts that stung, I'm second to none
Cos that day was another day walking alone
In my shoes thinking of actions never condoned
Still I wonder my life appeared to fly by
Yet some seconds yo they feel like a lifetime
I mean man I had no second plan, no plan with an outstretched hand
And no backup band
Cos the cold streets leave cold feet without heat
And those who get beat, ain't got room to eat
Resources deplete, and yet we still tryna run
From what it is in our essence, where we come from
It took me some time to acquire the wisdom
To learn from my mistakes make the mind a kingdom
[Chorus: Traffik] [X2]
Your perspective, it comes down to psychology
There comes a day when you learn that it gotta be
The heart and the mind, the spirit entwine
There's a moment the mind shine bright with the divine
[Verse 2: Traffik]
When the mind's a method for ma** seduction
Then the mind's a method for ma** destruction
Eruption, volcanoes of thought
Reeling from stress from the things that we bought
Things that we sought, I thought
That maybe I could've been better
But the storm kept on dragging me under the weather
The leathers, the chains, that I used to think about
Now the same thing, that's what I drink about
I mean damn, consumerism it's polluting our vision
Listen, its about time we'd risen against the prism
I thought I'd spit it on my mixtape, but I never did
Think too much about life and you're waiting to live
Clear your mind kid, its about time we decided
If we wanna be one, or if we wanna be divided
And if we wanna be divided, then they have our fate decided
Yeah
[Chorus: Traffik] [X2]
Your perspective, it comes down to psychology
There comes a day when you learn that it gotta be
The heart and the mind, the spirit entwine
There's a moment the mind shine bright with the divine
[Outro: Traffik]
It all comes down to psychology, you know
