[Intro: Anderson .Paak]Yeah, uh huhYeah[Verse 1: Anderson .Paak]I''m workin'' on a world premiereAnd I could see the world from hereThey ask me where I''m going from hereShit, anywhere long as the runway is clearShit, music business movin'' too fast for me (God damn)Wishin'' I still had Mac wit'' me (Yes Lawd!)How do you tell a nigga slow it down when you livin'' just as fast as ''em?I couldn''t understand when I seen ''em stretched out cold on the pavementNiggas catch T-K-O''s on occasionWishin'' I could save ''em, what was I to say?I was doin'' dates, dippin'' in and out of stateWe was goin'' in to get awaySick of feelin'' so outta placeWishin'' I could save ya, what was I to say?Wishin'' I could save ya, but now it''s too lateNow, is this really what I wanted?Is it really worth the pain?Now am I really an asshole? Fuck what you sayDon''t do me no favors, let''s get back to basicsWe live for today, bitch, fuck up out my way, bitchI''m losin'' all my aces, I''m runnin'' outta patienceGot some pretty faces knowin'' what my name isUp in high places, I got some new neighborsThey don''t really say shit but when they see the spaceshipThey just think I rap or some form of entertainmentBut they don''t know I''m black, young, gifted and amazin''[Chorus: Anderson .Paak]You know I had to close my eyes, yeahAnd if I have to free my mindI may not have the lane, movin'' all alongKnowin'' that I can''t do it on my ownAnd if I got the pain feelin'' comin'' outHave to run away, think I''m goin'' home[Verse 2: Anderson .Paak]Yeah, you know I''m workin'' on a world premiereAnd I could see the world from hereI know you somewhere in the atmosphereI know someday I''ll meet you halfway there (Cheers)They say there''s nothin'' you can do about itCan''t say that I''m new to sorrowWishin'' I could take your problemsTrade ''em for a little more time wit''chuCarry you out the bottom, the weight of the world, I got itSprouted wit''chu on my shoulder, the greatest honor to know yaI''d gotta be honest wit''cha, I hate you ain''t in the pictureI hate all them fake niggas claimin'' like they gon'' really miss yaI know there''s no one to blame and maybe the point that I''m missin''But I needed a minute, just give me a minute[Chorus: Anderson .Paak]You know I had to close my eyes, yeahAnd if I have to free my mindI may not have the lane, movin'' all alongKnowin'' that I can''t do it on my ownAnd if I got the pain feelin'' comin'' outHave to run away, think I''m goin'' home[Break: Anderson .Paak]Oh, say it ain''t so!Tears keep fallin'' down my eyesDamn it, I miss you, I should be with youCan''t turn back the hands of time but I should be with youI miss my friendDamn it, I miss youCannot bring you back[Verse 3: Q-Tip]These pictures I''m seein'' are fuckin'' me upAnd I don''t know what to do but reminisce and face the painBack in the day before you were a dog and you were just pupBangin'' beats and bringin'' bitches back to the tour busExcuse me, y''all, I know this .Paak shit, I just need a secondIt''s Q-Tip in this bitch and I''m just in here reflectin''Head on collisions with memories in the intersectionLookin'' in my rearview, wishin'' I could be near youThe freeways of my mind are crowded with trafficThe good times that we had and them bad habitsLook at me now, look around, last man standin''Grown man cryin'' like a child tryna understand itSo sick of sendin'' flowers to all of my brother''s mommasDon''t know what''s harder, fightin'' trauma or keepin'' a promiseA true confession breath is a blessin'', without a questionBut niggas don''t get the message until they get disconnectedMy story ain''t over, I''m still turnin'' pagesBut the picture I painted with you in it has fadedMy queen, my dreams and even my wagesI know what it means to lose everything when you made itRags to the riches and back to the rags is a muh''fuckaThe consequence of puttin'' all your chips in one bucketTo be honest, I feel like gettin'' right back to these commasYou motherfuckers keep the drama[Pre-Chorus: Anderson .Paak]I''m workin'' on a world premiereAnd I could see the world from hereI know there must be somethin'' after hereI know some day I''ll meet ya halfway there in the atmosphereCheers[Chorus: Anderson .Paak]Free my mindYou know I had to close my eyesClose my eyesYou know I have to free my mindOoooohYou know I had to close my eyesYou know it''s time for me...You know I have to free my mind[Outro]Free my...FreeFreeFree my......My mindMy mindMy Mind
