Jay Machiavelli - Alone Inside My Mind

Most times I'm stressed
Got these thoughts I can't neglect
So much that I gotta perfect
Can't be delivering less
Either I've been losing my mind
Or I've been losing the time
Either way
There's some shit that I gotta find
Some days I'm content some days I feel empty
How come what we can't have is so tempting
Girl don't you temp me, quit the pretending
Stop and think about the message you're sending
Everybody just wanna see that cash flip
Gymnastics but hope it don't backflip
Don't you dare put me in a casket
When a phoenix gon' rise from my ashes
Wings spread I've been ready to soar
Ready for more
Life's a beach don't you dare end up onshore
Settle the score like you're at war
Everybody wanna concur it all
Don't really care who is involved
Where it resolve how does it end?
Somebody else's problem again
Their pushin' it off their pushing' it all
Just know when you rise you're probably gunna fall
Enjoy the descendent but I hope it was worth it all.

I spend a lot of time alone inside my mind
Thinkin' how well that all these stars align
Here's a lullaby if you can't sleep at night
Just know, it's gone be alright
I spend a lot of time alone inside my mind
Thinkin' how well that all these stars align
Here's a lullaby if you can't sleep at night
Just know, it's gone be alright

Talk is cheap nobody want details
Say a lot of things watch it all get derailed
Keep getting told to slow this shit down
Going for gold so look at me now
So bold got them thinking how
But their lost in the what now
I give zero fucks now
Thats no time for bust downs
Finding different doors to break down
Used to sleep but I see y'all awake now
But back to the past
Way back when them demons was kicking my ass
Tell them get back gone in a flash
Only cash be moving this fast
No breaks just accelerate
Cuz you know that I'm off'a that gas
I'm gone
Been feeling stress to long
I've been under pressure feelin' lesser and that's wrong
Know it won't last forever like bad weather it's a storm
So I watch for the calm you see before alarms
I have been tossing' and turnin'
Every single night, when it's time for me to turn in
Thats why I stay up workin'
No overtime, I just gotta stay on my grind
Was told to stay polished if you ever wanna shine

I spend a lot of time alone inside my mind
Thinkin' how well that all these stars align
Here's a lullaby if you can't sleep at night
Just know, it's gone be alright
I spend a lot of time alone inside my mind
Thinkin' how well that all these stars align
Here's a lullaby if you can't sleep at night
Just know, it's gone be alright
