P.O.M.
[Verse 1]
Excuse me, beg your pardon
This ain’ no fucking product
This ain’t some shit you can just cop
And act like you ain’t part of
Yours Truly did me proper
Continue on the saga
Still ain’t got no persona
Nothing like these puppet artists
I still ain’t feel like my real life has started
I been on stage and performing instead of living like normal
I know my body’s a temple, but it’s like I’m trying to destroy it
Without a deal with the devil, I’m trying to get where I’m going, you know
The stage and lights makes shit confusing
Use the fame don’t let it use you
They say that life is precious, I say your mind is precious
Travel time inside your head and what you write might live forever
Nothing is sacred I swear
Except the places we pray and how she play with my hair
I need a beat in my ear like I need to sleep and breath air
So I take a piece of my mind and put it right here
[Chorus: Otieno Terry]
To be honest
This is more than I ever wanted, Lord
And I say it because I mean it
I just want some peace of mind
I just want some peace of mind
I just want some peace of mind
[Verse 2]
We can talk about it, or we can be about it
We on the same team brother, I don’t even doubt it
My mind is on cloud 9 I been trying to get to earth
You might sell your soul for love, but tell me what’s the worth?
I ain’t judging I just wonder sometimes
If y’all really love the music or you just wanna shine?
I’ve seen ego take over the mind
I’ve seen religion save lives and take lives
At the same damn time
You pray for peace but who doesn’t
Every night we pray for justice
Every night I stay up late and wonder why they make us suffer
Bust a nut and make another, world ain’t ready for him
Revolutionary and his skin-tone is the uniform
We go to battle just to let you know we matter
I write a song to live and live my life to rap it
Anything I did for money I regretted every time
So I record not for record sales but for peace of mind
My peace of mind
[Chorus]
To be honest
This is more than I ever wanted, Lord
And I say it because I mean it
I just want some peace of mind
I just want some peace of mind
I just want some peace of mind
