Stuck On My Mind Lyrics
Close my eyes, my mind be runnin', I try to stop it but I can’t
Calm down, smoking this weed, got me so high that I can't calm down
Stuck on my mind, baby, you got me on the run now
Coming back, look at you calling me back to back
I'm feeling this pressure, my heart throbs
Seeing your name got me choked up, I can't talk at all
The memories come, I remember the times I was making you cum
And now we're done, crossing the finish, the line in the sun
The time was a definite one
Ignorant, thinking that we would be timelеss
We keep thinking bout shit that's behind us
Pointing a finger whеn three be behind it
It takes two to get lost and be founded
Tracking me, find my phone
Thinking I'ma get caught up with bitches
Baby girl, I be stuck on my mission
I'm too focused, the money I’m fishin’
Stuck in the booth
Honestly, this is the only place where I be telling the truth
Losing myself in my thoughts all night
But I'm alright
When I’m thinking of you
Thinking of us, I be lost in the letters
You and I, universe
We was a unit, but units get lost being together
Now you think I'm the scum of the earth
Why you think I just run to my parents
When you think I be talking, it hurts
Keeping it player, you thinking I'm faking
You're assuming the worst, you’re mistaken
Throwing these accusations, I be shaking them
I don't got time to be playing
I'm keeping it going, I don't wanna hook up
I don't, I don't, I'm fucked up
Baby, you got me shook up
Got me shook, shook
Tryna stay busy, so I'm booked up
Yeah, I kill a beat, look at what I cook up
Twelve o'clock, on the dot and I'm still up cause I can't
Close my eyes, my mind be runnin', I try to stop it but I can't
Calm down, smoking this weed, got me so high that I can't calm down
Stuck on my mind, baby, you got me on the run now
From these feelings, I need me a vacay
I got no space in my heart, need to vacay
That's a dangerous mayday
Mayday
I just be tired of crying
It's me and my niggas, but niggas keep dying
I'm tired of crying
And this shit never get easier
I get lost and I feel like I'm needing you
Zodiac show me a sign, for real
Until then, I don't got time to feel
Give me a beat and it's time to go murder it
Yeah, it's time to kill
I can't waste no time, I don't got the time to chill
Put me on a pedestal, I'm better than these niggas
Yeah, yeah
Put me on a pedestal, I'm better than these niggas
Yeah, yeah
Keep me close, don't let me go
I promise that I'll treat you fucking better
Keep me close, don't let me go
I promise that I'll treat you fucking better
I'm just focused on my cheddar
I'm sorry I go ghost and I get distant
I'm just focused on my cheddar
I gotta dream and I gotta blow
I gotta make it, I can't let up
I gotta make it, I can't let up
Twelve o'clock, on the dot and I'm still up cause I can't
Close my eyes, my mind be runnin', I try to stop it but I can't
Calm down, smoking this weed, got me so high that I can't calm down
Stuck on my mind, baby, you got me on the run now
About
“Stuck On My Mind” by Khalid Knight explores the lingering thoughts and emotions after a failed relationship. The lyrics depict a sense of restlessness and inability to move on from the memories of the past.
The song begins by describing the narrator’s inability to sleep, as their mind is constantly racing, thinking about the person they were once involved with. Despite trying to calm down, they find themselves still consumed by thoughts of the past relationship. The phrase “baby, you got me on the run now” suggests that the memories and emotions associated with the person in question are overpowering and causing a sense of unease.
The chorus reflects the narrator’s conflicted feelings. They acknowledge that the memories of the past relationship still hold significance, evidenced by the line “The memories come, I remember the times I was making you cum.” However, the relationship is now over (“And now we’re done, crossing the finish, the line in the sun”) and the narrator realizes that dwelling on the past will only hinder their progress.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of self-reflection and personal growth. The line “It takes two to get lost and be founded” suggests that both parties played a role in the relationship’s downfall. The narrator recognizes their own faults, as well as the tendency to point blame at others. However, they are determined to move forward and focus on their own personal journey, rather than getting caught up in trivial matters or playing games.
The second verse delves deeper into the narrator’s state of mind. They express their dedication to their craft, using music as an outlet to express their true self. The line “Honestly, this is the only place where I be telling the truth” suggests that music is their escape and where they can truly be themselves.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and a desire to be understood. The lyrics convey the narrator’s frustration with being misunderstood and judged by others. They emphasize the importance of staying focused on their goals and not getting distracted by romantic endeavors or outside opinions.
Ultimately, “Stuck On My Mind” by Khalid Knight captures the struggle of processing a past relationship, the desire to move forward, and the determination to stay true to oneself amidst external influences.
