lyrics
VERSE 1:
They want me thick, want me thin
Want me showing all this skin
Baby sit, baby grin
Baby where do i begin?
Stop listening to all of the haters and
All of the venom they spreading and
System might be rearranged but then
Reality is that we slaves to them
Riding around in a pink sedan
Damn my hands look like my maama’s hands
Nails long enough to slit you with
Don’t you worry ‘bout whose bae i’m with
You do you
I do me
I don’t worry ‘bout who sounds like me
You can flip my swag from your hair to your bag to the t
You ain’t got no rhymes like me gurl gurl gurl gurrrl
BRIDGE :
Pretty baby won’t you go
Take a stroll down the beaten road
Ain’t here living for you no
Glimpse of a future that’s mine fo sho
HOOK :
Future that’s mindful
Looking at a future that’s mindful
Said my future is mindful
Future that’s mine fo’ sho
Said my future is mindful
Future that’s mine fo sho
Future that’s mindful
Mindful
VERSE 2:
Why they always be acting so clingy
Wanna keep pulling me back like i’m chingy
Wanna be out & about like we gucci
But they the same ones that’s trying to read me
Get you a library card and a cd
I’m no geneva, no i’m not a treaty
Whatever that means in this world kinda beats me
They be as real as the lips are on kylie damn
Melanin, wishing you had it then wish you didn’t
Damn how so easy, convenient
If it were that simple i’d save many men
From the contraptions of pigs and them
Give ‘em a life they can live again
Find us some peace in the present tense
Find us some peace in the present tense
BRIDGE :
Pretty baby won’t you go
Take a stroll down the beaten road
Ain’t here living for you no
Glimpse of a future that’s mine fo sho
Pretty baby won’t you go
Take a stroll down the beaten road
Ain’t here living for you no
Glimpse of a future that’s mine fo sho
HOOK :
Future that’s mindful
Looking at a future that’s mindful
Said my future is mindful
Future that’s mine fo’ sho
Said my future is mindful
Future’s so mine fo sho
Future that’s mindful
Mindful
