Jami Nicole - Peace of Mind Lyrics

Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'

I been tryna find peace of mind
But a nigga took a piece of mine
Last week I was lookin for appeasin' times
Hair did, cute fit, looking like a cherry pie
Caught so many eyes
I was walkin' down the street
When a nigga touched me on my waist
Couldn't even articulate my hate
I despise being touched without my consent
Your attention isn't heaven-sent
It's irrelevant
Stop eyeing my thighs like a degenerate
I really hate men
I just wanna dress up in a sack with my hair back
Just to get a break from the unsolicited male gaze
Shouldn't have to feel this way
Shouldn't have to be afraid
I should be allowed to slay and be okay

Peace of mind
Been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'

Been tryna find peace of mind
But I gotta get a job
It's only a matter of time
Occupation for a lifetime
Can't even decide what I wanna buy
In the drive-thru line
Too many options, too many sights
Just like the world, too many plights
Just look at the news and cry
School shootings, hate crimes
Black death on my timeline
Life is like a constant fight of the night
And I'm tired even though I haven't started to write
MJ was right
They don't really care about us and I'm tight
They don't really see me or the 40 million in poverty
Just another black face of the black race
Privileged they turn a blind eye
What's out of sight is out of mind, right?

Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'
Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'
Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'
Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'

What's the deal with love these days?
It feels like nobody stays
It feels like a bunch of games
I'm sick, sick of the disrespect
Y'all niggas are emotionally desolate
And I'm done with it
I ain't even gon' throw a fit
I will not be stressed
I don't need a man that's anything less than the best
The rest are getting checked
So
Don't disrupt me if you can't love me
If you not ready to build, don't touch me
If you too tough to feel, don't call me
I'm sick of falling
For dishonest men
We all got hoes, and we all got "friends"
And I'm down for fun, if you tell it how it is
Don't run around with ya head down
Tryna win this game called love looking like a true clown

Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'
Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'
Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'
Peace of mind
I been tryna find peace of mind
But this here ol' brain of mine
She don't stop thinkin'

Breathe
The sun will always rise in the east
And it will always set in the west
And the moon will always shine throughout the night
When you lay your head down to rest
The stars will ever shine, and the clouds will never cease to roll
And time will tick on no matter where you go
So breathe
Pick up the fight
We'll be alright
