-- Lyrics --

It’s all in your
Frame of mind
Let it go
Y’already know
The world is yours
Night and day
I wanna see you shine

It’s all in your
Frame of mind
Let it go
Y’already know
The world is yours
Night and day
I wanna see you shine

Y’all are light work
This my life’s work
I don’t write verses
I’m talking right versus wrong
There’s a fight going on
Trying to find the right purpose
Trying to find the right person
Who was at the end of my searches?
Me
I had to earn the trust
Had to learn to trust myself
First
Putting someone else’s concerns above myself
When it hurts
Can you shake it off
When you take a loss
Will they make you lose it?
When they say you’re soft
Can you play thru it
Play your music
Take abuses
Stay in tune
In the game
All the same
Stay improvin’
Keep it human
Keep in tune
While you keep it movin’
For the movement
Don’t be paralyzed
Don’t be sacred of tryin’
Don’t be carry it all
You can share the weight
Let it marinate
I’m here when you call

It’s all in your
Frame of mind
Let it go
Y’already know
The world is yours
Night and day
I wanna see you shine

It’s all in your
Frame of mind
Let it go
Y’already know
The world is yours
Night and day
I wanna see you shine

I’ve been feeling like I’m ready to red stripe and zone
Feeling like some red lights in the dead of night, alone
Too many red-eyes and Red Bulls, unread texts and RedTube
No rest in my bed at night at home
Maybe I won’t ever get it right
Never set it right
If I write it down
‘Least I said it right
When I get the mic
Can I give it up?
Just to give ‘em love
Not to get a like
It’s cause and effect
The cause is the message we get
That we’re faulty, defective
A God-awful mess
The effect is depression
So we ball out, put walls up
To protect from rejection
Pause and reflect
Acceptance
Acknowledge this breath
That we got is a blessing
When it’s all in perspective

Let it out
When in doubt
Know we all
Been in doubt
In the clouds
In the rain sing it out

The world is yours
I wanna see you shine

It’s all in your
Frame of mind
Let it go
Y’already know
The world is yours
Night and day
I wanna see you shine

It’s all in your
Frame of mind
Let it go
Y’already know
The world is yours
Night and day
I wanna see you shine

Can you bear it?
Bear witness to pain
Theirs and yours
In silence

(Clever men and our violence)
