Peace of Mind Lyrics by Mayor Talib

Flat Pillow Poet

2021

[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
