Friday 13th with a sunshine in the morning
Momma's crying in the kitchen cuz today I'm going
Imma leave this day in a country where im foreign
Carving through my fate with no plans of returning
Cereal for breakfast and a cup of sweet coffee
Tryna say goodbye to my sweet beloved mommy
Know is hard for both so I try to hug her softly
Broke two hearts to pieces when I left the upper lobby
Take a step in my mind
Emotions all the time all the time
Am feeling real high real high
Always on the grind on the grind
Now-now-now
Take a step in my mind
Emotions all the time all the time
Am feeling real high real high
Always on the grind on the grind
The sound of keys in the door
At Quarter to 4
Enough to interrupt any sleepy snore
Man, I'm so sure
I saw my mother push my father to the floor
No more
And then she swore
I swear
I'll never be the same
But I love my father all the same
Strange
Deranged games
Throwing dirt on my brother's name
Seeing him twist and turn in pain
As the wicked spells return again
Damn
Crisis talks in the family room
As the bride and groom doom
The honeymoon ended too soon
The open wound exhumes lies and deceit
But neither will accept defeat
As the rug is lifted from their feet
Damn
I'm asked to take sides
As my sisters fight, I can see the tears in their eyes
Crazy accusations and wild interrogations
More bitter pills to take than AIDS patients
Take a step in my mind
Emotions all the time all the time
Am feeling real high real high
Always on the grind on the grind
Now-now-now
Take a step in my mind
Emotions all the time all the time
Am feeling real high real high
Always on the grind on the grind
As a kid, I couldn't sleep
My thoughts were forever deep
Craved affection
Wanted attention
Feared Rejection
Dreamt of perfection
On the road to success
U attract what you expect
Reflect what you desire
Become what you respect
Mirror what you want to admire
Life was tough Things got rough
There were days it seemed like a haze
Through it all, I always stand tall
Cos giving up was never an option
What U know about waking up feeling like this
What U know about living a life like this
Take a step in my mind
Emotions all the time all the time
Am feeling real high real high
Always on the grind on the grind
Now-now-now
Take a step in my mind
Emotions all the time all the time
Am feeling real high real high
Always on the grind on the grind
