As Seen in Bethsaida - Mick Jenkins, theMIND

My eyes have never seen the sun

Guided by the light look how far we’ve come

Lost inside my mind I often wander (I often wander)

Don’t quit your day job nigga

And please don’t lose the love

Niggas got heart, never use enough

I put mines on my sleeve, went sleeveless

Niggas say I’m nuts cause I’m bruising up

I’m just like didn’t you see Jesus?

I mean I, never really seen him either

But I kinda try to follow in his footsteps

All this weight on my chest, get it off with some good reps

Some good prayer, good stress

Good kush, good sex

I mean all that good shit nigga

All that good shit y’all be talking bullshit

Even on the pulpit

I see so much hating

The love ain’t even appreciated these days

Niggas depreciated the value

Heard God’s whisper then lowered the volume

Then popped him a Valium

So why wouldn’t they be sleeping on my flow

I’m from south side Chicago

I know the mental

The self hate is really just incidental

Exposure is instrumental

In shedding that skin

Almost like it come with black skin

In fact every nigga that’s in my faction

Had to unlearn

His spit in our eyes

So we can see the light

Never had to worry about sunburn though

My eyes have never seen love sun (don't…don't go there!)

Guided by the light look how far we’ve come

Lost inside my mind I often wander (I often wander)

Don’t quit your day job nigga

Do it for the love

Please don’t lose the love

Do it for the love, do it for the love

Please don’t lose the love, please don’t lose the love

Do it for the love, do it for the love
