verse
First they tell you that they love you
Then they ask where you coming from
Like you the only one feeling how you feeling
Then you lie just to make it sound appealing
To him and her and even the family
That you keep close, just to blow the steam like Stanley
You the one have to plunge in the back
Praying people in the front don't figure where you at
verse
Used to pray for the feeling, now I miss that
I was stuck for a while, I'll admit it
The same damn thing that you feeling, man, I get it but
I'm past that now, I sip this crown, now I mix no sprite
Only sip brown when I'm cooling with my niggas
It's that kinda night, aight?
chorus
The things that cross my mind while I'm by myself
These things go through my mind while I'm by myself
These things run through my mind while I'm by myself
It's always on my mind, think I need some help (yeah)
verse
Maybe if I had some diamond rings and nicer things
And wider cream, and smaller dreams, the simple things
It would have brought money more quickly
Maybe then you'd get the picture
But even then still snapping for my niggas
So I'm always on the phone tryna make sense of figures
'Cause the nigga that got it ain't never been the one to spend it
verse
The thought suicide for the money
We just call it being hungry nowadays
Every nigga getting paid, just a couple getting laid
If the chess fall right and the dick all right, could I stay all night?
'Cause you posting all of my songs knowing pussy gon' sell
chorus
The things that cross my mind while I'm by myself
These things go through my mind while I'm by myself
These things run through my mind while I'm by myself
It's always on my mind, think I need some help (yeah)
