Mindset from MC Cong by Steven Cong

Verse 1

On the days when life, is working overtime to, have you on the run
When it’s bringing you down, maybe it just means, you were flying too close to the sun
And when your enemies are trying, their hardest to tell you that you ain’t got merit, it’s
THEM, being full of shit. Don’t be afraid to change the narrative.

You know, when a speed bump slows you down, you can still move
That a bullet can touch your skin, but spare your heart as it passes through
That a fire they thought would burn, is just gonna light your way to the truth
That you’ll survive, all the weapons that they place, ignite, or shoot.

}And when snakes in the grass, learn how to bite
You gotta TURN, their poison into ink. Start to write.
Put your pen to the page, voice to a mic, and be the one that tells
The world, who you are, what you’re tryna do and what you’re about

Your mindset. Can bring you back down OR, take you all the way through
Tell you, that taking a risk is brave, even if you, lose
It can be your, biggest advocate, when you don’t know what to do
When you need it, you gotta use it, to build up, your truth.

Chorus

My mindset’s a superpower, and it can make
The world that I live in and the truths I create
About who, I can be, and just what, I believe
I can do, to achieve, all these dreams in front of me.

}And now I have to believe
}That the person I, choose to be
Is someone, with a mindset, that guides me, and heals me,
And serves me, protects me, and sets me free

Verse 2

So, tell me what’s on your mind, when the night overtakes the day?
When friends become foes. And every single hope you had just fades?
Do you say damn? This is it. It’s the end of the road, I quit?
Or do you go on? Take the hit. You only lost cuz you took a risk?

When you win? How do you celebrate? Do you think at all about what’s next?
Is it enough? What’s the difference between, complacency and rest?
And for those who never rest, what is wrong with putting your foot on the brake?
Every now and then? Tomorrow will come. You don’t gotta do it all today.

There’s no point, in tryna figure out, what is really true.
There’s the facts, then there’s the story, we tell ourselves to pull through.
The question, is not, whether what I’m thinking, is right.
But whether, what I’m thinking, will keep my hopes and dreams alive.

Hey. Reality ain’t real. The mindset is all that’s there.
Your mindset is what decides, who you’ll be, when and where.
If “I messed up,” “this ain’t enough,” is all that you hear yourself say
Stop wasting breath. Think about things, a different way.

Chorus

My mindset’s a superpower, and it can make
The world that I live in and the truths I create
About who, I can be, and just what, I believe
I can do, to achieve, all these dreams in front of me.

}And now I have to believe
}That the person I, choose to be
Is someone, with a mindset, that guides me, and heals me,
And serves me, protects me, and sets me free
