What I Gotta Put My Mind To

(album: Nostalgia For The Now - 2016)

What I gotta put my mind to
What I gotta put my mind to
I was looking all around
And just look at what I found
Man, I never thought I'd find you
What I gotta put my mind to
What I gotta put my mind to
I was looking all around
And just look at what I found
Man, I never thought I'd find

All of these faces, retracing inside my memories
Remember all the faces, mistaken from what they're meant to be
Guessing every entity, waiting just for the energy
Stating that every day we're so crazy about the better things
Yeah
And I ain't really gonna notice you
In a few years you gon' be seeing me like "Woah, it's you"
Bro, it's true
That every day I take a step up
Judging me for my neck up
But bitch it's time for your check up
I like, riding the times
Midlife, crisis at nine
Midnight, life on the grind
Sit tight, trying to find
The life that I would come to know
People trying to run my show
Other hoes and these fucking bros
Fucking jokes
They don't fucking know
And I swear I met the perfect girl
Not to be conceited
What she needed was a perfect guy
So I stepped between her
And I swear that shit don't hurt to try
See it in the movies
But that shit feels so much weirder when it's true
And it comes to me like
Damn

What I gotta put my mind to
What I gotta put my mind to
I was looking all around
And just look at what I found
Man, I never thought I'd find you
What I gotta put my mind to
What I gotta put my mind to
I was looking all around
And just look at what I found
Man, I never thought I'd find

Gotta go when the times tough
You never know when your time's up
You never know when the people that you once trusted turn they backs on you
And you looking like "What?"
"Damn, my life sucks"
Gotta go when the times tough
You never know when your time's up
You never know when the people that you once trusted turn they backs on you
And you looking like "What?"
Yeah
Got these one-verse songs and it's all done
Damn, these ain't the worst songs but they all run
When fall's done we be heading for winter
They all wanna doubt me
Say "Ben's a beginner", but
I've been working hard
I've been practicing
Got no time but I still put the passion in
Make it happen, man
Man, it's happening
Damn this magic shit
Who'd imagine it?
