These thoughts I have could be clear ones and they can seem vivid the goals I reach are not near ones the further than limits I block her out so when I'm looking through my mind she ain't in it Can I be free for a minute, can I be me for a minute? The thoughts I have can be dark ones, even be smart ones Know I'm gonna have a couple straight from the heart ones Tell you what I think I will until I depart mum It's you that I lived for, I am the first and the last one to love you lots Whats better than thinking about the ones you love Nothing much when you're thinking about the ones you love I feel the same when I'm in the floor, see the sun above Unconditional like bills paid when I run them up No one here to help you pain now you're gonna moan No one here to save the day now you're all alone Wish I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth Fact is I wasn't so, I'm coming from a colder zone And when the sun falls down I'll be up again I never close my eyes, And if the dawn might break I'll see nothing when (nothing when) My thoughts are only you and my mind is over you My thoughts are over you and these words are all for you (all for you) I wanna see you happy, I wanna see you smile 'Cause you're been trespassing, and you won't leave my mind Now even think about this, call me say, yes nan I'm 31 now I'm still saying yes nan You had to replace my mom, dad 2 parents in one I know your proud staring at your grandson I found a job I like like, got the flat, the cars, the bike, the quad I like Because of you I'm tireless in every single song I write Had a golden life, wanting people to honour mine Tell 'em while I'm here, cause one day I'm gonna die And when I'm I'm gone I want my music still playin' And when my people listen to this track, it's gonna make them wanna cry I ain't gonna lie, I think about my scene to say the games better is a must now I gotta fly My talents gonna shine for surely, fam I know it, I work 'round the clock, I don't stop at night. And when the sun falls down I'll be up again I never close my eyes, And if the dawn might break I'll see nothing when (nothing when) My thoughts are only you and my mind is over you My thoughts are over you and these words are all for you (all for you) My thoughts are only you and my mind is over you My thoughts are over you and these words are all for you (all for you).
