lirik lagu the influence – seek and you shall find
[verse 1]
sometimes
i tend to lose my frame of mind
getting lost and intertwined
in the socially painted mind
they keep on sayin’ that i’m blind
never to find
yet i’m constantly primed
ready to drop for a dime
socially awkward and that’s fine
no need to beat me down man
i’m humbled at times
tryin’ to grind
always gotta keep my head up
but lately man, i’m fed up
tryin’ to get my bread up
but every time i step up
they tell me that i’ve been cut, like
how’s a dude supposed to get his nut
it’s like i’m stuck inside of a rut
never to get released ’til i’m deceased
stuck with a poker and prepared for a feast
godd-mn, where’s a man to draw the line
oversimplifying rhymes
tryin’ to get back in time
as a child, i was forced to turn a blind eye
never expecting a real reply
see my dad was working always
my mom was stalking hallways
i would hunker down in my room
luckily it was more a bunker than a tomb
caught up in h-ll ever since the womb
at age five, i thought my end was coming soon
[chorus]
my grandma used to tell me, “seek and you shall find”
eventually i’ll reach the right frame of mind

[verse 2]
sometimes
i tend to lose my frame of mind
getting lost and intertwined
in the socially painted mind
they keep on sayin’
playin’ back and delayin’
amazing, things, just keep on changin’
they’re rearranging, multiple types of faces
relaying whether or not to keep replayin’
this sh-t, they keep debatin’
how’s a man to draw the line
inserting experimental rhymes
chasing the dollar and a dime
but, i’ve never been the kind of guy
moving with confidence and stride
superfluous words that sound absurd but divine
and if you think that i’m a troubled one
i guess you’re right to decide
but i don’t hide
i’m out here in the open tryin’ to survive
while everyone’s being eaten alive
more than deprived we’re pressured to strive
as kids of the new millenium i guess we’re destined to die
[chorus]
my grandma used to tell me, “seek and you shall find”
eventually i’ll reach the right frame of mind
(x3)
[verse 3]
sometimes
i feel a grip upon my mind
getting close and determined
in a demented place and time
i realize, i’m touching on the borderline
my heart is shattered
soul is scattered so f-ck a sign
my problems rooted in my past
no kid should ever have to live through that
locked up in a car seat
in a blacked out cellar yellin’
out to my family for help
but mommy was smokin’ and drinkin’
while daddy brought in all the money
to provide for her bingin’
got me singeing
burnin’ on fire cringing
but i got through it
my dad, since then, has made some positive improvement
i’d say i have too and, i’m an intelligent man
things i shouldn’t, i rightfully understand
my thoughts are in demand
so i pick up a pen with my hand
write up some poetry with melody
but never act like the man
still on the search, yes i am
it’s like i’m blind but i see
i’m out there, searching for me
[outro]
it’s like i’m blind but i see
i’m out there, searching for me
(x5)
