Album Cover A Lot on My Mind

A Lot on My Mind

Alfred Nomad

11

A lot on my mind I think I need to take a load off

Electric design the way I′m blacking out and go off

The stage is the only place I'm cool to be a show offBut tap dance for nobody I rather break a toe off

This year a lot has happened

Few tears, a lot of laughing

Projects that I′ve been crafting

New goals that I'm attacking

The only signing that I did was when I'm autographing

Post performances with cheers and clapping

Did the second LxVE Fest

Messed around and sold it out

Now they see what I′m about

Left them asking what′s next

Imma stick to my guns

Like cowboys on the run

Get legit with these funds

Keep pushing then we'll see what′s to come

And spread love with every breath in my lungs

Can't you see I′m the one

I done messed around and found the real thing

Bought a real ring

You're the favorite song I ever heard and still sing

Butterflies all in my stomach I know the feeling

Want it all better or worse, sickness and healing

Can′t believe we tied the knot, jumped the broom, had a hop

Made a rapper slow it down, should have signed to Rap-A-Lot

April 15

2017

Every single thing in my whole life changed

No exaggeration best time of my life

Fam and friends all in town, Ant drove through the night

Everybody all together had me nothing but hype

To celebrate that I found my best friend and a wife

Which there is nothing like

Now you're my only type

Knew you were angel way before you strolled in all white

This was only confirmation

You bless my life like a preacher does his congregation

Thank you for your patience

My cousin Lance had his second son

I'm not a family man now but it′s yet to come

You′re to blame for this loving husband I've become

Less is more that′s why I'm glad that I′ve found the one

You're the one

It′s just a regular day

The first day after May

Newly married with a gold ring finger display

No babies on the way

But back at the 9-5 cause it's bringing the pay

Plotting on a way out although the job does have its uses

Save a few more months and then I'm chucking up the deuces

All seemed right even had an exit strategy

But that didn′t end up the plan God had for me

Boss called me casually

To have a meeting after three

Feeling like the bad student meeting with faculty

Said it′s sad to see, but now our budgets cut drastically

Battled with the board and your position was a casualty

Budget's tight so we′re letting you go

We'll give you 4 weeks pay to get your ducks in row

Everything went slow, thinking oh hell no

As I′m packing up my stuff and heading straight to door

What I'm gonna tell my wife, we just started our new life

Feeling like I got stabbed in my stomach with a knife

That′s a tough conversation

Hard to be excellent when you ain't bringing home the bacon

Scrapping for ends meat, I used to have steak in

Now I got 4 jobs hustle on Jamaican

Man ain't it funny how life works sometimes

Now I′m running for my goals trying to dodge land mines

Now I′m earning lesser, but it was for the better

My momma didn't raise her boy to crumble under pressure

She always used to say when it rains it pours

So bundle up and get your ass prepared for the weather

I′m, far from my prime

But an artist so it makes sense I'm putting everything on the line

Silver lining I know things could be a lot worse

Could be curse with my last ride in the black hearse

So I guess I′ll make it work

Work, work work

So I guess I'll make it, make it

So I guess I′ll make it work

2017 was a year of change

I feel 2018 is about to be the same

I got married, sold out my first show

Headlined my first tour

But still got a ways to go

Life is coming fast but the money's coming slow

And labels mainly judge me by how many follow

I built my own team, who all have the same dream

To live a life doing what they love for the cream

And finally getting recognition on the local scene

Success has got me itching for it daily like a phene

Learned more about myself in the last year

Than all the other 27, I could lose it any second

All of my passive aggression, porn addiction adolescence

There's a God but I have questions, Time to get back to my essence

Build it block by block I used to suck at Tetris

I studied the game and analyzed all the metrics

Everything that you have could be gone in a second

You′ve been gifted this moment so please enjoy the present

I wrote a few goals down that I intend to reach

A wise man learns more than he intends to teach

Bout to pack it all up and move to LA

By this time next year I may be speaking to you from a beach

And I′m so grateful for this Georgia peach

You gave a thriving environment and showed me nothing's out of reach

Built relationships I couldn′t put a price on

Now I'm turning a new chapter until my happy ever after

Thinking bout my legacy, but don′t know what's ahead of me

And still got a lot of things weighing on me heavily

I want to leave the idea that you can be whatever

You wish to be and get your shit together

Pray for a nigga while I′m still trying to grow

And if you ever need me just know

There are times when you'll need someone

I will be by your side

There is a light that shines

Special for you, and me
