Album: At Your Inconvenience (2011)

  • My mind, I'm out of it
    Got a bottle of Jack, time to drown in it
    I made it here but don't know how I did
    Who'd have thought that the sheer amount of shit I been through
    would amount to this?
    How about a spliff ? I feel like I'm spinning out
    It's kind of surreal, all of the shit I've been around
    Nine months since I licked an ounce out
    Shit just switched around, I still haven't figured out how
    With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
    Try this trick and spin it, yeah
    Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
    And you'll ask yourself
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Oh, way out in the water, see it swimming
    My life's a rollercoaster, a fucking hurricane
    Got a past which I wouldn't wanna tuck away
    There were minutes when I wished I could've run away
    Stuck, I stayed, suffered but I lived to see another day
    And look how quick it changed up, it's insane blood
    Fuck the fame, I'm still the same as when I came up
    But now I get paid, get laid quicker
    Drink straight, make a face like I hate liquor
    I had a lot to prove, from I had to shot for loot
    Now nan turns the TV on and I'm on the tube
    Summer time with Lil and we're on a yacht with Muse
    If you could see the gap between the from and the to, it's crazy
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?

    Way out in the water, see it swimming
    From the gloom and the upset
    To women coming in pairs and I'm enjoying the fruits of my success
    Still adjusting, I ain't adjusted just yet
    Unkept, scruffy and I puff cess
    So how's success? I guess it's okay
    So long as you don't mind a little cocaine
    No sleep and women who go both ways
    It's easier to appreciate when you've known pain
    Buying things I never thought I'd ever own
    About to buy a crib and I ain't ever home
    Seeing places I never thought I'd ever see
    I guess it had to even out eventually
    It might've evened out, but even now
    While I'm flying high, I can still see the ground
    The clock's ticking but I ain't watching the time
    For now I'm enjoying the ride
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Way out in the water, see it swimming
    Yeah, you know it's mad cause, I ain't even a fan of change
    I'd much rather have notes in my pocket but,
    For once things changed for the better
    I took a risk and it payed off, haha
    It might've taken a while to do so but it finally did
    And what's left to do but enjoy? Writer/s: Alex Hayes, Charles Thompson, Stephen Manderson
