[Verse 1] Hip-hop student, PG resident Revolutionary, same color as the President Spitting hell-fire from a gift that was heaven-sent Raised the bar, even in limbo, I never bent Made my own path, my success got no precedent Keeping it in the fam like my last will & testament God had a plan, I just followed it blindly Waiting for a label to wise up 'til they signed me Not that I minded, just saying that they should mind me I'm a goldmine, your stock rise if you find me My soul deep as receivers My supporters is on it, told me keep it up like sativas I don't chief reefer, but I stay elevated I been the underdog, they said that I'd never make it Jeans ain't tight enough, he don't make that pop sh** Always got a message, he be on that 'Pac sh** He don't never beef with n***as & he don't pop sh** So how could we ever put him in the top 10? s** a dick, you n***as forgot the music Got a piece of power, you p**y n***as abused it Got a little money and most of you misused it So if it ain't an Inner Loop deal, I refused it Cuz this is more than the cameras & mic quotes This is life when you walkin' on the tightrope... [Hook] Leaning to the left, leaning to the right My vision straight with the ending in my sight They're giving me the world just for giving them the talent Mind over money, I'm just looking for the balance... Yeah...I'm just looking for the balance Mind over money, I'm just looking for the balance They're giving me the world just for giving them the talent Mind over money, I'm just looking for the balance... [Verse 2] They wish I'd fall off just to drown in the deep end Or box me in, but I ain't Solid Snake creepin' Got up out the lane of them average rappers I can't be boxed, that sh**'s for cadavers If my mind's complex, I'm stationed on the balcony Golden thoughts with an iron heart, this is alchemy Looking me over just made me go harder Looking at these contracts made me a little smarter Tried to count me out the game, now I'm at the plate And I'm out to get mine like a selfish s** partner Only trust people far as you can throw 'em Cuz 'til you seen 'em fall, you can't really know 'em Y'all bammas rap for the fame & your vanity I would quit it all for my daughter & my sanity Pain brings wisdom, learn as you grow older Was made cold-hearted by getting the cold shoulder Keep to myself often - drama? I hate such I don't hate people, we probably just don't relate much My key strength just happens to be my pa**ion But now, wearing your heart on your sleeve's out of fashion Mind of an addict Pain is the product from dealing with the mixed signals, I'm not surprised with the static Tryna get the world just for giving them my talent Mind over money, I'm just looking for the balance! [Hook] Leaning to the left, leaning to the right My vision straight with the ending in my sight They're giving me the world just for giving them the talent Mind over money, I'm just looking for the balance... Yeah...I'm just looking for the balance Mind over money, I'm just looking for the balance They're giving me the world just for giving them the talent Mind over money, I'm just looking for the balance...
