TRAPHIK - Peace Of Mind lyrics
rate me[Chorus X2]
I haven't seen that look in such a long time (I haven't seen)
I've yet to feel what could be called
Peace of mind...
[Verse One]
I never claim to be gangsta but I still keep it G
I never claim to be a dealer but I still make my cheese
If you're dealing with me, I keep it real to the t
Never frontin', never fakin', I'm just feelin' the beat
Keep people on they toes, keep my heel to the street
If you peep my videos I try to heal when I speak
Not about the facade of the chains or the rides
If you strip away the ice, whats remaining inside?
It's a wannabe thug cause he wanna be cool
But I ain't played make believe since I was in pre-school
Set out with a dream and a journey and a mission
Asian guy trying to drive but there won't be collisions
You see my chinky eyes, but you don't see my vision
I'm out to solve a problem but it won't be division
I wake up asking god, "What's the purpose of living?"
Trying to build something real on the dirt I've been given
He blessed me with a pen, and I when wrote these lyrics
Wouldn't think you'd understand, like if the holy spirit
Was speaking through me, and I was speaking in tongues
Now I speak to the masses and I speak to the young
The girls with the asses and the cheeks getting sprung
And I try to take it in let it seep through my lungs
And I need to be a man, but I need some time
On the grind trying to find me some peace of mind
[Chorus X2]
I haven't seen that look in such a long time (I haven't seen)
I've yet to feel what could be called
Peace of mind...
[Verse Two]
Now I catch a lot of hate for trying to spread love
Get banged on everyday by these internet thugs
Dudes with no sense of humor cause they never get hugs
Always trying to bite my style like they was some bed bugs
A little bit of fame and some people know my name
I don't lie like other rappers so they wanna call me lame
But I just brush it off and I keep it drama free
Stay making these songs while I do my comedy
I'm a renaissance man, and now that's how I get money
Wrote the Kings of MySpace cause I thought it was funny
Dude wrote a diss record cause he just didn't get it
So I did a diss back and I don't regret it
But sometimes I wish I would've just ignored it
Cause now they know his name and he got me to thank for it
I can only push forward I don't need re-wind
just another lesson learned, looking for some peace of mind
[Chorus X2]
I haven't seen that look in such a long time (I haven't seen)
I've yet to feel what could be called
Peace of mind...
A lot of failed competitions and deals that didn't happen
A lot of people dissing telling me to quit the rapping
A lot of threats to my crew, people out to get us
Everybody want beef, I'm just trying to make my lettuce
One Long Beach dude called me fake cause I moved from LB
But I still like to talk about my youth
How we know the same people and you calling me a phony
People click the YouTubes and they swear that they know me
But I'mma say this to those who hate this
I do it for the fans got me on they play list
You can stay bitching or being racist
I will not desist I'll stay and make hits
Cause those who get you mad will control you
So don't lose sight of the dreams and the goals you
Wish to accomplish and lead the blind
Cause you don't need a compass to find peace of mind
[Chorus X2]
I haven't seen that look in such a long time
I've yet to feel what could be called
Peace of mind...
