Yeah, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
Yeah, why they tryna get a peace of mind
Yeah, if you seen what I seen you know it's deeper than it seems
We was raised by fiends with a dollar and a dream
From the bottom of the barrel but look at me now
Stay solid through the travesty, Kadafi is proud
Ten toes down in the midst of the storm
Go against the grain, remain in rare form
The pain hurt like a mother gave birth to a stillborn
How could God let a baby die the same time that it's born?
They say we can't question the Lord, tell me why can't we?
Some shit I need to know, although he probably won't answer me
Can he explain why the good die young?
Why the bad die slow and outlive everyone?
Some things won't be explained, your dues gotta be paid
Mistakes will be made, the past we can't change
Tomorrow's another day, second chance to get it right
For my soldiers in the dark searching for a little light
Come on man, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Lord, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Man, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Lord, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a peace of mine
It's like we got used to the pain, seduced in the rain
Addicted to the minute, introduced to the game
The streets ain't the same like the cold don't exist
Block hotter than a sauna, heart colder than a bitch
I was molded for this, a beast from the start
In every single verse you get a piece of my heart
A piece of my soul, a piece of my spirit
The truth in the flesh, acting like they don't hear it
Like we low enough, aiming at the man in the mirror
The message more clearer, it gets no realer
Man, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
Cold world seems so impossible to find
Blind leading the blind, rest following behind
Believe in the lies like it's part of our demise
Third eye open, other two is on the prize
The goal is to survive, against all odds
Come on man, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Lord, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Man, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Lord, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a peace of mine
Dear Lord, please save me 'cause the devil want me dead
Nowadays go outside and catch a bullet in your head
Lil' niggas out in Chiraq paint the city red
Niggas snitching, niggas talking, boy they working with the feds
Hey, hey, hey, tryna make sense of it all
Hey, hey, hey, somebody gotta take the fall
Hey, hey, hey, just tryna make sense of it all
Hey, hey, hey, I just wanna change the world
People pay the police, that's what they do
And I can tell you more if you wanna know the truth
The bloodshed flow like a rainy day
When it's your time to go, got me a better pay
Everyday that I wake up I ask God to watch my steps
Went from hand me downs to designer
Clothes 'cause I work for that check
We done went from being slaves to rocking chains around our necks
I'ma hold onto my dignity and keep my self respect
Man, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Lord, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Man, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a piece of mine
Lord, I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
They just tryna get a peace of mind
I'm just tryna get a peace of mind, mind, mind
I'm just tryna get a peace of mind
So why they wanna get a peace of mind?
Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
