作曲：

When your mind ain't right and it's hard to sleep

And you try to hide the pain but your scars are deep

Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you see yeah

When your mind ain't right and it's hard to sleep

And you try to hide the pain but your scars are deep

Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you see

And my heart is like

There's one thing poppa told me

If nothin else in this world it's how to survive

When I'm against all odds and when the odds against me

I travel wherever my path may lead

Knowin nobody got my back like me

I'm gonna survive

And if you walk in my shoes

Guarantee you'll be just like me

And my heart is like

And if you leave me alone in the V with the chrome

I won't hurt nothin but I need to be alone

Nigga just me and my Sam Cooke tapes

And my heart is like

And baby if you don't understand

Then I gotta let you go go go

Geah I'm sorry baby

And my heart is like

I'm talkin all along the way

With all I used to say I almost couldn't take it

Said I wouldn't make it to be twenty-one

I'ma stand up on my own two

And my heart is like

I've travelled high and low and

If there's one thing I know I know I know

I know how to survive

When your mind ain't right and it's hard to sleep

And you try to hide the pain but your scars are deep

Nigga look me in my eyes and tell me what you see yeah

（ And my heart is like ）

When your mind ain't right and it's hard to sleep
