Mama I don't wanna kill a man, you know i always been a simple man
Life getting so complicated, got me changing to a different man
All i wanna do is make it out
I can feel em tryna take me out
Chew you up and then they spit you out
I been looking for a different route
All my wisdom i begin to doubt
Was it bullshit all along? Is it really all black and white?
Is it such thing as right and wrong?
Pressure on me, I got way too much pressure on me
Only fire can make a diamond, tryna wake up wit treasure on me
Speaking of it i heard it's buried in the desert sand
Flew to Vegas where i met a tan
Woman then she took me by the hand
Told me that my wish was her command
She too hot to not be a mirage
Still i bought a shot for her because
I could tell exactly who she was
Tryna find the facts in the facade, God
Everybody want a piece of mine
I'm just tryna find a peace of mind
Give me something that'll ease my mind, baby
Jack ginger and a squeeze a lime
I don't get a lot of leisure time
Give me something that'll ease my mind, baby
What is trust? where they been hiding that? where can I find it at?
A lot of talking, but never where I was at
It's always behind my back
Stiff neck and a sore shoulder
The one i'm constantly looking over
I never ice it but it's getting colder
Paradoxes and paranoia
Call my line, I used to make trips to see my family all the time
Now I argue wit Uncle Sam and get aggravated by Father Time
I hate to lie, but what if its saving lives? Should i remain disguised?
Can't decide between cape and tie cause i'm made to fly but i hate the sky
Three chicks in four nights, I make sure I f*ck em all right
And they all say they just want pipe but they all been tryna get wife'd
And they all wanna come first, and they always wanna cum twice
I can't say I don't love em at all, but they all know that ain't my life
I got phony friends and friendly phony's
Whole squad thats depending on me
Wild bucks that I hunt alone cause ain't nobody gon' get it for me
When i'm dying it's rest in peace
When I get checks then they check for me
So how can I give the best of me
When I ain't got that much left of me to go around
Everybody want a piece of mine
I'm just tryna find a peace of mind
Give me something that'll ease my mind, baby
Jack ginger and a squeeze a lime
I don't get a lot of leisure time
Give me something that'll ease my mind, baby
Everybody want a piece of mine
Why they let the blind lead the blind
Eyes open i can see the signs
I been reading in between the lines
Lot a shit I gotta leave behind
I dont get a lot of leisure time
Give me something that'll ease my mind
