J Dilla - Whats Going On In My Mind lyrics

[Intro] R.I.P Jay Dee You need that piece of mind? I give you that Peace of Mind [Verse 1] They tryna tell me i'm depressed cas they ain't impressed with On how my times invested Objected to follow the accepted It must have been a misconception that being different meant that you was something special Tryna teach me lessons and correct my conscious lessened confidence Had me second guessing almost had me convinced My brain may be insanely messed I've had my head on the melt Just tryna find myself cas they told me (I was someone else) Some days i feel blessed Some night I feel possessed by the demons in my chest Caged feelings collect and effect my sense It don't make sense that my mind set is positive But my heart ain't inadequate of negatives A constant game of tug'o'war between my heart and my head My art keeps me going and im damn sure of that Confidence as of late, been damn short of that Some days i'd rather not wake because I know that Its gonna be a bad day, some way, some how, something Will get me down and mess around with my head space But for now I remain with this fake misplaced smile Meanwhile I try figure out whats going on in my mind [hook] Whats going on in my mind x2 (whats going on, wh- whats going on?) Whats going on in my mind x2 (whats going on, whats going on, wh- whats going on?) Whats going on in my mind x2 (whats going on, whats going on, wh- whats going on?) Whats going on in my mind x2 (whats going on, whats going on, whats going on [Verse 2] Each day proves more difficult and I don't wana go to school Adults think its just typical teenage attitude But I found a different route out And sitting in a room thought by bafoons is just bad for my health To obey these rules is optional I do appreciate the help But I need some information that'll benefit my intentions I need to pay attention of my prospective Not these time wasting lessons or detention for attendance Whilst I could be making moves man Losing truth in confusion Creating clueless students deluded to believing they stupid Due to illusions of grade conclusions and parents enthusing Life style they wish not to pursue in Thrown in to it with no guide, on how to survive Ay, still defenseless and senseless, quite like a child Mann.. it my god damn time to shine But first I gotta figure out whats going on in my mind [hook]
