[English]

Silence the noise in my mind, Lord

Silence the noise in my mind

'Cause I wanna hear you, Lord

I wanna hear you

I've been dealing with a lot of niggas hating on me

And I've been waiting for a minute, they wanna take it from me

Hit my grandma line and told her to keep praying for me

'Cause these niggas out to get me and they praying on me

I know you won't put more on me than I can bear

All these people plotting on me and they not playing fair

How you gon' hate on me when I stay to myself?

And I ain't locked in with too many, 'cause real is real

I'll be battling with doubts on my conscience

Don't do the internet 'cause they be talking nonsense

If I feed into that bullshit, it won't let me function

And I've been grown a little, staying above that dumb shit

It's just me and myself and it's stuck in four walls

Staring out the window to a nigga that's down

You don't look familiar, I don't really know y'all

I'm just stuck in my ways, looking so low

Lord, I need to know if you can hear me

Sometimes I be stumbling with my prayers, so I whisper

Going through a lot, I be overthinking

Got a lot of pain inside, it be clouding my vision

I be trapped in the thoughts in my head

I be trapped in the thoughts in my head

I be trapped in the thoughts in my head

I be trapped in the thoughts in my head

You ain't know it's a lot of pain behind my smile

Going through some battles I don't talk about

Only time I vent is when it's through the rap

Got these people tryna figure who is who

My mind kinda clouded, I've been overthinking

Going off on everybody, know I'm tripping

Sometimes I be thinking the whole world against me

Thinking about my problems with the world, feel me?

Talking to my niggas, they going through it too

Can't wait 'til this shit pass to live comfortably

Living for my kids is who I'm running to

Grateful for my BM and my mama too

Lord, I need to know if you can hear me

Sometimes I be stumbling with my prayers, so I whisper

Going through a lot, I be overthinking

Got a lot of pain inside, it be clouding my vision

I be trapped in the thoughts in my head

I be trapped in the thoughts in my head

I be trapped in the thoughts in my head

I be trapped in the thoughts in my head

You ain't know it's a lot of pain behind my smile

Going through some battles I don't talk about

Only time I vent is when it's through the rap

Got these people tryna figure who is who
