Mayor Talib - Peace of Mind lyrics

{Verse 1} Walking through the peaks and valleys It could take me weeks to tally All the coulda woulda shouldas When I was too meek to rally When I was petrified Situations wrecked my pride Hurt and disappointed by some people I’d expect to ride Now I’m electrified Had to go to hell to charge Love me in a special way The sentiments of El Debarge It wasn’t nothing to it Had it all and then I blew it Folk ain’t even tell me They could see that I already knew it Somе people hide mistakеs My music is dispensing mine Grind my teeth so much at night I got to brush with Sensodyne Keep the present tense in mind Acknowledging the past Made amends for my mistakes I know my life is flowing fast The stuff I know in class Rarely helps me on a day to day Had to get it how I lived That’s how I learned the way to play Sometimes I want to say I heard it all before Then reality be mad at me And hit your boy with more no thanks {Hook} I’m in the Carolinas Trying to get some peace of mind Scammers lurking in the lobby Trying to get a piece of mine I’m in the Carolinas Trying to get some peace of mind Trying to fight the feeling That there really ain’t no peace to find I’m in the Carolinas Trying to get some peace of mind Scammers lurking in the lobby Trying to get a piece of mine I’m in the Carolinas Trying to get some peace of mind Trying to fight the feeling That there really ain’t no peace to find {Verse 2} My beard is kind of fuzzy Heard somebody say who was he Cause my Catfish are Delicious album Never built the buzzy I expected projected Royalties were collected I know some people liked it But I felt it was neglected As I reflected Possibly hypercritical Too focused on the numbers The industry's so political Trying to be somebody When my soul is finally laid to rest Never backing down from any challenge y'all I played be best You see I’m stressed Number two don’t get a thrill I know people that respect me But respect don’t pay the bills I see my bills are piling up I got some friends I’m dialing up Cause talking is cathartic Keeping everything from riling up Talents irrelevant When looking at the grand scheme Getting better daily Doesn’t guarantee a man’s dream The fans scream For a rapper that I’m better than I’m barely getting sleep at night I’m sleeping in my Letterman {Hook} I’m in the Carolinas Trying to get some peace of mind Scammers lurking in the lobby Trying to get a piece of mine I’m in the Carolinas Trying to get some peace of mind Trying to fight the feeling That there really ain’t no peace to find I’m in the Carolinas Trying to get some peace of mind Scammers lurking in the lobby Trying to get a piece of mine I’m in the Carolinas Trying to get some peace of mind Trying to fight the feeling That there really ain’t no peace to find
