On Your Mind Songtext
von Astronomy Class

Yo, so lately I′ve been thinking you know
I got something on my mind, I figure
Maybe it's best if I just say it, yeah

I got love for my family, love for my peoples
Like Coltrane, a love supreme and unequaled

Easy to let it go, but now I wanna let you know
At every opportunity, no one got immunity
From fate man, you got something to say, don′t wait man
By the time you get around, oh it could be too late man
You hesitating, I'm getting sick of maybes
Defeating what you planned before it began, it's crazy

I′ve been persuaded, a blink on the spectrum
Better keep it moving, it don′t matter what direction
Don't leave ′em guessing, won't die wondering
Settling for nothing, if I′m dreaming of another then
What tomorrow brings, it just won't happen
Without action, don′t let 'em doubt your passion
We'll take some catching as long as we matching
Those deeds with words and say what needs to be heard


Though you find it hard to say what′s on your mind
When you try to speak it knots you up inside
You may think it wise to hold your tongue, don′t let it go too long
Because before you know it, time could be gone

I know it's heavy, being only human in this century
Mentally, searching for the truth in all that′s said to me
Able to let it be calmly, like the eye before the storm
All the silence in my heartbeat, from dark streets I begin
My journey learning of fame and glory only to find out I defeat it
The secrets from these tests that life and light provide
So for the people I'ma speak this

Though you find it hard to say what′s on your mind
When you try to speak it knots you up inside
You may think it wise to hold your tongue, don't let it go too long
Because before you know it, time could be gone

I got love for the music, love for the fan base
Love for the friendships that began with a handshake
Love for my band mates and cats I collab with
And all the talent that I got up in the lab with
Or ad lib with mad kids after a show
Beatboxing in the car park just to hear their flow
Sounds weird, I know, but they′re the best moments
If there's respect then it's best that you show it


Never a better time and yo, I′m blessed
′Cause you came to hear me get these rhymes off my chest
Now yes, yes, let's extend this to real life
And try to express in words what this love feels like
It′s like a jerry can and a raised up lighter
And maybe fate gives a break to a fighter
I might be sentimental, but yo, that's fundamental
If you don′t feel nothing it's a wasted instrumental
You influential in raising my potential
Making me test my mental like I′m meant to

What you went through? Well, that was bad luck
I never meant to tempt you but yo, I got a mad style

Well, it's hard to keep a straight face
When all these visitors bring it so straight laced
I can't wait to tell you, can′t wait to see you
If there′s eyes open we'll let them see too

Though you find it hard to say what′s on your mind
When you try to speak it knots you up inside
You may think it wise to hold your tongue, don't let it go too long
Because before you know it, time could be gone
