Peace of Mind Songtext

von Little Simz

Oh clarity's all i need
I've been on the verge of a breakdown from these challenges i recieve
Tell 'em I won't break now won't bring a smile to my enemies
I been blessed enough so far but still the lord's got me on my knees
Still working
I've made mistakes and i've learnt
You think you know what i'm earning?
You need to worry about your worth
I been through hardship i'll tell you
There was only a pound in my purse
Still grind this shit I ain't made it
Ain't gonna lie it coulda been worse
My phone's been ringing off lately
I save numbers as 'don't awnser'
I know that shit it sounds rude
But I get that trait from my father
I look above and see mountains
In Turkey now as i'm writing
Shit clarity's all I needed
It took time to understand timing
Please understand that these are my thoughts
Yeah that I share with you
I care for you
When you're down just press play and i'll be there for you
Like you can count on me
Yeah, you can count on me
Us uniting as a unit is what I'de be glad to see
Talk to me

In search of this... peace of mind
Peace of mind, peace within myself
Peace within this fucking universe if you will like
And in this industry, and within everything just like
There's too much war already, there's too much segregation
There's too much discrimination there's too much...
Too much of anything is bad for you right so...
I dunno man, for fuck sake...

In a different timezone different place
I hardly remember days, I partly feel quite ashamed
That I rarely remember faces
My artistry hasnt changed
Thats probably the one thing that actually can maintain
These just are my thoughts
See that I share with you
I care for you
When you're down just press play and i'll be there for you
Like you can count on me
You can count on me
Yeah, you can count on me...
Go...

Oh vanity's all they teach
They ain't tryna work for nothing anymore till their salary has increased
Get down on your knees
Pray to the all mighty
Cos when that day comes you're either pissed or you got lucky
This won't be the worst of my days
They will remember me for paths that i've paved
Take the stone with your right hand and make sure they see on them stars my name is engraved
Is that hollywood fame?
Is that selling your soul for a little bit of change?
Is that burning coal for a little bit of flame?
No control i'm a little insane
Oh let go have a little champagne
Sip that slow cos our aim is to maintain
Is that a gimmick you play games
Live show there ain't a limit on that stage
Thats that uh!
Keep me to yourself and dont share me to no one else
Have I
Been to this place before?
Can I
Mold and break down the door
Lost in my thoughts
This is what I share with you
I care for you
When you're down just press play and i'll be there for you
Like you can count on me
Yeah, you can count on me
Us uniting as a unit is what I'de be glad... to see

See how I be on the edge
I know you [?] the knowlege i had inserted
The way I did it on 'em
Never under pressure i ain't trying to say
[?] little Simz you just shitted on 'em
Stars, you can see i'm headed for 'em
And even if you're headed this way
I dont wanna be in the presence so ima teleport
I been waiting for it
Now I'm ready for it
Tell me how to find your way home when the lights go
I was thinking' 'bout the past then my mind froze
Brain freeze I believe that shit is ice cold
Killin' every single rapper they can die slow
You can live fast and then wonder where the time goes
'till I build it I'm just tryna get my mind blown
He be looking' for the ones you be looking for the one
And just both of them are looking' for the right souls
Thats...
Them in a different timezone different place
They hardly remember days, they partly feel quite ashamed
That they rarely remember faces
Their artistry does not change
Thats probably the one thing they actually can maintain
These just are their thoughts
See that they share with you
They care for you
When you're down just press play and they'l be their for you
Like you can count on me...
You can count on me...
You can count on me...
