Little Simz
Piece of Mind
[Intro: Little Simz]
To be honest, I think we spend so much time
Trying to find answers for things
And maybe it's just not meant to be answered
I think sometimes the best things
Are in the unplanned and the unknown
And sometimes when we balance back and we do it
We don't know how we did it, we just do it
It's something in us, whether that's our intuition
Whether that's the way we been raised
Whether that's down to even what we put in our bodies
Do you get it? So I think—I think that can remain a mystery
And I think that's okay for it to remain a mystery
Does that make sense?

[Verse 1]
Tryna forget all of the messages
Tryna forget all of the stressin'
'Cause damn it was (Extra and—)
Tryna forget all of the secondary
Feelings I had, man, it was fuckin' scary
Tryna get back to all my old ways
Tryna get back to all the hobbies
From my old days (Gettin' back)
Tryna forget all the unnecessary
Thoughts from my head, man, it was pretty scary
[Pre-Chorus]
At least I learned a thing or two about me and you
What we went through, it made me who I am (I am, I am)
I can feel again, won't be numb again (numb)
At least I didn't mess it up, that was all your touch
I don't miss it much, but it made me who I am (I am, I am)
I can feel again, won't be dumb again (dumb)

[Chorus]
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind that I can't get right (Can't get it right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side (Heart is on my side)

[Verse 2]
You said yourself, you made me who I am
You told me that after you, I would never love again (Didn't I?)
Oh you made sure that I would lose myself
So I wouldn't see, I needed no one else
You tell me that I was worth a million smiles
And tell me that I was worth a million miles
And tryna make sure that I forget the times that
You made me think that I just couldn't shine, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
At least I learned a thing or two about me and you
What we went through, it made me who I am (I am, I am)
I can feel again, won't be numb again (Numb)
At least I didn't mess it up (Mess it up), that was all your touch (All your touch)
I don't miss it much but it made me who I am (I am, I am)
I can feel again, won't be dumb again (Dumb)
[Chorus]
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind that I can't get right (I can't get it right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side (My heart is on my side)

[Bridge]
On my side (Yeah)
On my side (Yeah)
Gotta get a little piece of mind
Gotta make sure that it feels just right
Gotta make sure that I'll make it last this time

[Chorus]
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind (I'm tryna break off)
A piece of mind that I can't get right (Mind that I can't get)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind (A piece of my mind)
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side (My heart's on my side)
(My heart's on my side, yeah, yeah)
