brandon carter - mentality lyrics
[interlude: child speaking]
there’s so much of place in the world
there’s less time because the time has to be
spread extra thin over all the places like b-tter
so all the person’s say: “hurry up!”
“let’s get going, pick up the pace
finish up now”
[intro]
interview:
my mentality?
i don’t even think they realize what’s in my mind right now:
what the moods i’m feeling, what my emotions are
i swear, nobody!
nobody knows, and how i react?
how i react to these situations
what i hear and what i see? i react unwisely
and because of that; i guess, i guess, it changes their perspective on me
well, guess what?
[verse 1]
what i hear and what i see
i react unwisely
either i let go or i take in
i leave out or i go in
heart’s shattered, torn, battered
they fed misery to me, like a fixed platter
afflicted damage to the wound after
i’m in dark times, that i mourn
have a hollow mind, got my thoughts plastered
agonized me ’til i’m lost, scattered
all my happiness is soon to rot
don’t you, release your thoughts
if i can’t handle it, handle me
do you even know my mentality?
i never get my words out!
i never understand what you say to me
couldn’t have taken worse routes
i like vanity
there’s always a showdown
that’s gotta go down
no one ever slows down ’til the sand in the hourgl-ss drains out
i can’t help but burst out
release all this anger
i’m always gettin’ cursed out
but my response is a finger
i’m aware that i stomp mud
i catch when you throw shade
i look out for those i love
everybody’s always got their hands out
but no one’s ’bout to get a handout
how’s this foot when it’s put down, huh?
[hook]
this is what i hear and what i see
please tell me, what defines peace
what’s my mentality?
can i calm down and breathe?
lost mind, lost my mind
bad time, in a bad part
how i react, that’s how it starts
i would ease back, but to watch hurts
mentality’s diverse
mentality’s diverse
[verse 2]
i repent, i get
i’ma regret on this
i’m resentful, bent-on
intend to quit
i’m off the hinges
prevent my mess, the act as bliss is fake
yeah, it’s the state i’m in
i grieve on this, i’ve feigned and it’s
been a twist and turn, a b-mpy ride
i’ve learned that i’m none of your concern
’round here, i’m at the edge of the coast
if i could rewind that clock, bet all of this goes
turning gears, it is eeriest, here it’s just incapacity
so unbalanced, be automatically
acting callous, feed off of everything
just threw me to the side though
i’ma return the favor on a side note
i want this stress gone, wanna calm down
wanna know where you all now?
feel like i’m ’bout to bust, that’s the fallout
all mixed-emotions
i’m all out!
[hook]
this is what i hear and what i see
please tell me, what defines peace
what’s my mentality?
can i calm down and breathe?
lost mind, lost my mind
bad time, in a bad part
how i react, that’s how it starts
i would ease back, but to watch hurts
mentality’s diverse
mentality’s diverse
[verse 3]
they don’t like the way i react?
i don’t like the way you kickback
never watch your surroundings
surrounded by distractions
mind is untapped
no contact, lost that
lost in impact, no traction
light headed, head backwards
i told you, let’s start over
but you over-looked our differences
then crossed over
i crossed the line, it’s all over
you know where my minds at, my mindset?
aware that, talkin’ to me is nonsense
since back then, i’ve lost track
everything’s downhill, it’s all happenin’ too fast
all blur
my thoughts black
all inaccurate, livid after what happened
ain’t adaptin’; timid
goin’ overboard
please do not push my limits
yeah, i am emotionally upset
it’s been a couple days since i actually have slept
[hook]
this is what i hear and what i see
please tell me, what defines peace
what’s my mentality?
can i calm down and breathe?
lost mind, lost my mind
bad time, in a bad part
how i react, that’s how it starts
i would ease back, but to watch hurts
mentality’s diverse
mentality’s diverse
