Pull up a seat, cause where we finna go is some heat
And don't worry about a thing, just try follow my beat
My mind is an escape
A vacation to some sort of magical place
Wherever I want it to be
That's the catch
Whatever goes on here is all up to me
So, let me tell you how my mind is like an ocean
That runs right up to shore...waves roaring always making me crave more
Of my mind...
Cause it's my favorite place to be
It's got a nice little couch, books and a recordplayer
All set up nice for me
My mind is a safe haven
Designed for my comfortability
Cause there is no escaping
My mind is my ground
It was formed before my skin even turned brown
Because before I was a woman and before I was Black
When all that was made of me were cells in a little sack
My mind was there... waiting to sign a lease
Here on Earth, with a contract to people please
See, sometimes my mind gets me in some shit
Because when I know I shouldn't do something, the thought just always seems to sit
Right next to me
On my big comfy couch
In the naturally lit room
Of my big beautiful house
See, there goes my mind again
Running off of topic
Sometimes I wonder if we're on the same team
Or if I'm the lame and she's the hot chick??
My mind, that is
She comes up with the most fire outfits
and ides, plans I'll never listen to
Because what does she really know?
I can't take another risk or this imposter syndrome will show
Yeah, we hid that one well
In a dusty lockbox beneath the curtains on the shelf
of my sunroom filled with hanging leaves
Florida water, tarot cards and crystal trees
My hangout
To read, chill and layout
This one's probably my favorite room
But even though everything looks nice and put together
I'm praying no one picks up that broom
And sweeps up all my insecurities
The dust that's settled on top of my biggest dreams
This room is my favorite, just the way it is
Cause I made it this way when the plan was just to live
This room is my comfort
Created just for me
To sit and be still
In a life that's risk free
Just looking out a window
Slowly staring at my fate
Behind a smoke glass, a voice inside that lockbox tells me to wait
"Wait another year, when you're better, smarter, richer"
"Just wait a little longer, it'll all come together"
This is the biggest room in my house
My mind--I mean my mind
This room full of doubt, anxiety and fear
But it's all hidden so well, you'd never know any of that was here
Crazy, right, how this is my favorite place to be? The place where my ugliest traits are hidden even from me.
