A Very Strange Time Lyrics

[Intro]
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind? (Haha)

Yeah

[Verse 1]
It's somewhere offshore, it’s somewhere on tour
The show must go on 'cause they want an encore
I should be happy here, but I always want more
Mom's house is in escrow
, shut the front door
The fuck is my life?
Feel like the Joker holdin’ Harley Quinn
I'd probably do it all again if I could start again
Life gets a little weird here in artist land
While I'm watchin' the world burn holdin' Marla's hand
The narrator ain't have time for a wife
Said you met me at a very strange time in my life
We could've made this all work if the timing was right

It ain’t 2009 no more, when I was rhymin’ with Cyph
Life is different, reminiscin' when the lifestyle was simple
When all we needed was an eighth and a Four Loko to get you
But it was never enough, I had to fly through that window
Aim the highest, live the fastest, she couldn’t live at my tempo
But here we are
[Chorus]
Where is my mind? (Uh)
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind? (Yeah)

Tryna hold on before I explode
Might have got lost on this yellow brick road
Where is my mind? (Yeah, uh)


[Verse 2]
Lot of, "Who you love most?"
While you look 'em in the face though
When the world is burning, saying, "Everything'll be okay, though"

Hardest thing to do, feel like my word is made of Play-Doh
In a world of yes men, it's been getting harder to say no
They’ll never understand if they tried to rip apart this
Most managers won't understand the lifestyle of an artist
The price you pay, they'll never comprehend what it charges
It's hard to find a light here, but it's solace in this darkness
Lose my mind on occasion, tend to misplace it
I try to white out my problems, never erased it
I threw a whole lot away while just getting wasted
Some demons hide in plain sight, I still never faced it, but fuck it

This time I'll look the other way
My destiny manifested is where I'm at today
And this is the game that I always loved to play
I'm where I'm supposed to be and I wouldn't have it another way
You know?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
