In My Mind

(album: Matisyahu - 2022)

In my mind but I find that I still want you
In my mind, in my mind
But I find I still want you

I throw the towel in
But I begin again
It's always been about the pen
And the music is my friend
With a little understanding now I'm landing on the moon
I used to be a simple Jew
A little testy when you would come at me all rude
I'm black and blue the bruises are apparent
Body beaten but my engine still raring
So Turn the key let me get some gasoline
Saddles blazing
Trails illuminated
70 ways
To get out this frustration
And reach the am
For now I stay in, I just realized I been praying for the wrong things

In my mind but I find that I still want you
In my mind, in my mind
But I find I still want you

Grey days
January 31
Lick a little spliff
That's the way I like to get it done
February 1
I'm writing 10 bars a day
I heard somewhere that keeps the lazy brain away
And I ain't seen the doc in like a decade
I'm alright yeah ma I'm OK
I try to keep the pressure at bay
Will I be defeated
No way
Can I handle it
Been passed over more times than a pamphlet
Wit my candle lit
At both ends
Will the time pass
Tic toc like trends
I'm so class
I'm so close like
Family and friends
Used to live in California where my life was like a painting
Sunset over Hollywood hills are overrated
Got you puking from the pills
With ya stomach agitated
I know it's given you the chills
But baby boy you got to live
You gotta live and get up and out this mess
I'll sell the crib
I worked too hard been to blessed
To give in
To let it crumble like the crest
Of a wave
Sometimes it crashes
Where's the vest
For my babe and my
Crumble like the crest of a wave

In my mind but I find that I still want you
In my mind, in my mind
But I find I still want you

When it comes to this music
I got tenure
You just pretend pure
Wicked men get censored
Sliced from Soloman sword
You get sent back and ignored
Spent too many nights alone on tour
I bring the music to your
Doorstep
Won't let the day slip
I may leave the floor wet
I do prefer the day trip
I stay way ripped
Off the hinge I'm unzipped
Like this for instance
I plot my business
I got good wishes
Ya on my shit list
Oh shit I said this
I meant my wish list
My fists the swiftest
My kids are gifted
They act suspicious
And if ya lifted
Come quick get with this
I passed the litmus
Go check ya witness
I keep on going till the early distance
Took so many risks I took these pictures

In my mind but I find that I still want you
In my mind, in my mind
But I find I still want you
