State Of Mind

Buddy Lackey

these days are crazed

I've been amazed the way he lays the maze

I care, I swear

I'm well aware that don't make it fair

on and on my life drifts by

I still ain't shit, but I got the guts to try

this time it's mine

I'm livin' in pain but I'm feelin' fine

it's just a state of mind

it's just a state of mind

it's just a state of mind



I've tried to find

or hide behind just a little peace of mind

to live to wait

the more that I live man the less I trust fate

just stay awake I learn to overcome what you take

this face is fact

love is to give and not want to get back

what you must do

is hear the point that I'm trying to get through

to you the few

whose song is a prayer you don't care if it's true

that's fine this time

but the message of mine is often covered behind the rhyme

combined with the time

and the tempo of words that only fit the line

it's all a state of mind

it's all a state of mind

it's all a state of mind



don't lay down if you don't love the ground

don't get high if you don't love the sky

turn it down if you don't love the sound

you don't love nothing and you don't know why

can't break from the underground

can't break from the underground

can't break from the underground

can't break from the underground

it's all a state of mind

it's all a state of mind

it's all a state of mind

it's all a state of mind



this life is now

if you fall and you can't fly

you'd better learn how

put your sweat into the plow

if you give it a try then you get to live from the ground

you know it's acid

the age old psalm about reaping what you sow

it goes to show

if you want to rock then you better learn to roll

it's all a state of mind

it's all a state of mind

it's all a state of mind

it's just a state of mind

it
