In The Mind

from Why Not? by Frank John James

/

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Trynna empathize with every individual
Trynna energize without the lies in my ritual
My daily, which has been less than smooth sailing
Trynna figure the lessons, to lessen the pain of failing
I shoulda done this, I shoulda done that
In time, you lose desire to go back
Livin' in the moment the present is so diverse
So every time I hurt it's just a lack of fluid worth
As I try to ride the wave of life, universal motion
Nothing but a speck of sand amid the black ocean of space
But potent hopin' for more, responsibility
But I shouldn't steal your journey, that's far from humility
I'll let you live it even as you believe you get it
And in the end, I'll be there to explain why you shouldn't regret it
A dream's a nightmare only when you're scared
So stop runnin' and you'll find the solution was always there

(Chorus) x 2
I'm here to comfort you, put you in a better mood
Maybe my perspective is no less than a better view
And if you got the time, maybe I ccould share a rhyme
Everything I say I say to evolve the mind

(Verse 2)
No need to be mean, nor try to act macho
Take a deep breath, maybe dozen in each nostril
It's easy to succumb to our deepest urges
Man must understand the methods of his searches
Some claim purpose while their efforts only hurt us
While others view themselves through their actions as bein' worthless
Uncertain of the next phase, even their catchphrase
Reflects their success is dictated by disgrace
Disharmony, inevitably, I let it be
Since there's little left of me, next to me
I manifest the rest of me, to integrate the best of me
So I can spend the rest of my eternity more pleasantly
I'm presently a single entity while gaining greater sense of me
I'm trynna gain a greater sense of you, and that's the truth
The only thing I know is unconditional
It's pivotal I understand love, untap it's potential

(Chorus) x 2
