'Cause this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ kept my mind on pace while I ran these streets/ MY LIFE
'Cause this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ kept myself out of place as I try to live in peace/ MY MIND
'Cause this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ am I ever gonna change am I ever gonna see/ MY LIGHT
Livin' that Ghetto Mindstate 'cause this block's hot/ Run up in yo' spot with my porcelain glocks cocked/ What you shocked? Now that you stopped/ I'ma take this opportunity to bust my shots/
Mercy's for the weak, and only the strong survive/ Countin' blessins that I'm still alive, Now I strive/ To change inside, but to the rules I must abide/ My mind and heart just don't wanna coincide/ Its like I'm being torn in all different directions/ When I look in the mirror, I see different reflections/ My intensions got the different sections respectin'/ 'Cause this Ghetto Mindstate got us money collectin'/ Through some violent visions, I've become increasingly driven/ Comtemplating ways, achievin' my own ambitions/ Intuitions prepared me to make painful decisions/ They'll never silence my voice, dead, alive or in prison.

And this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ kept my mind on pace while I ran these streets/ MY LIFE
And this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ kept myself out of place as I try to live in peace/ MY MIND
And this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ am I ever gonna change am I ever gonna see/ MY LIGHT
And this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ only thing I'm askin' is Can you relate?
Ain't flashed a smile in a long while/ Past aggressions got me livin' in denial/ Conversin' with myself as I trek this long mile/ 'Cause keepin' company never's been my style/ Finally focused in the right state of mind/ No longer entwined, being one of a kind/ Just bidin' my time, patiently waitin' to shine/ Finally seein' clearly, no longer livin' blind/ Knowin' pitfalls lurkin' just around the corner/ Travelin' inches away from my other persona/ Fallin' down that route means my heart beats colder/ Don't wanna live that way, cain't have that on my shoulder/ 'Cause I'm having dreams of livin' lavishly/ While unwindin' this instrumental masterfully/ Here to share my knowledge for all eternity/ 'Cause I've become somethin' that you'll nevver truly see.
And this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ kept my my mind on pace while I ran these streets/ MY LIFE
And this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ kept myself out of place as try to live in peace/ MY MIND
And this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ am I ever gonna change am I ever gonna see/ My LIGHT
'Cause this is my Ghetto Mindstate/ only thing I'm askin' is Can you relate?
