Mind Over Matter

[Verse]
Head heavy, but the crown don’t slip,
Staring in the mirror, fists clenched, tight grip.
Demons in the shadows tryna whisper in my ear,
But I turned the volume up, made 'em all disappear.
Fought battles in my brain, trenches deep as the Nile,
Mood swinging back and forth, pendulum style.
Tears like rivers, but the current can't drown me,
Built a raft out of hope, let the waves surround me.
[Chorus]
Mind over matter, climbing every ladder,
Even when it shatters, still gon' gather.
Piece by piece, I’m a masterpiece in motion,
Storm in my chest, but I’m calm like the ocean.
[Verse 2]
Thoughts racing like Nascar, tires screeching loud,
Pressure in my chest, but I stand up proud.
Mental scars like tattoos, stories in the ink,
But the pain made me stronger, gave me time to think.
Meditation my armor, words my sword,
Every syllable a step toward a new accord.
They said I couldn’t do it, told me I was frail,
But I built a house of courage from every time I failed.
[Bridge]
Breathe in, exhale the doubt,
Break the chains, let the beast come out.
Darkness ain’t forever, every night meets dawn,
Even broken clocks get the time right twice, move on.
