If you could take a trip down the corridors
Of my mixed up mind / here's what you'll find
The pain and the anger my daddy left, when he left
Plus the pain I felt from my homey's death
If you could walk a mile in these Phat Farm sneakers
On these two feet / guess who you'll meet?
My best friend Confusion / plus my homeys Sadness and Pain
I'll be glad when the rain
Wash the pain to side / and the pain subsides
In the crevices if my mind / led by the blind
Too long / but I'm too strong / got to move on
And put my mind in check / took the nine and checked
The clip for one to rip through this stubborn head of mind
And out me out my misery / what, you kiddin' me?
I ain't got the guts to die / ain't interested in livin'
Not in the condition the present day and time is givin'
{CHORUS}
My mind is a battlefield / a battlefield
My mind is a battlefield / I'm at war / can you feel me?
[repeat]
Too long, I wrestled with these demons who be schemin'
On my soul now / I'm gettin' old now / it's gettin' cold now
I need the warmth from the father who be knowin' it all
See it all / be it all
Shook the ghost off / blast the toast off at those
Ones who want me done up / bang nightfall to sunup
Sat amongst the experts and heard 'em say
Two a day / all I need to keep the strain away / this pain away
If you could dream my dreams / live my past
Witness who I witness get blast / could you last?
If you could witness the mental anguish
From the separation of his father and his kids like i did
You, too, would hold the n-i-n-e / c-l-o-s-e
Contemplatin' like me
On whether you should let it blow / or just let it go
Looks like another life TKO
[Chorus]
If you could take a trip down the deep, dark halls
Of the castle if my mind / Here's what you'll find
Paranoia from beef unsettled
Lookin' over your shoulder / grippin' the metal
Hopin' not to have a dejavu
Hopin' not to have to rip it back and let off two
They don't know / they really don't know
What it take to survive a breakdown / think, now
Could you keep your composure / with all the pressure
Comin' down on you / while God frown on you?
Could you hold your head up / no matter the setup?
We all fall down but we get up / dead up
[Chorus]
