[Intro & Instrumental]

[Verse]

You'll see this beat's called in-sight and i'm about to give you some

Insight into the mind I get these lyrics from

When I was little, let's say five

Before my ears were ever blessed by Gangsta or Jay Five

I remember used to hear my dad shout like

A little thing'd go wrong he'd lash out, i'd

Sit in my room with little sis

Thinking this shit's gotta stop, I hate hearing it

I got this memory, remember peering in

Think it was summer-time, maybe another time

I loved the summer-time, but not this one

'Cos this one's the first time that I ever saw my mother cry

And I don't think I ever found out why

It weren't a loud-out cry, I think because she knew I was about outside

And she didn't want me to see that she was sad

So I never told her about that time

[Chorus]

This is an insight to my life and how my brain functions

And even with hindsight I wouldn't change nothing

This is an insight to my life and how my brain functions

And even with hindsight I wouldn't change nothing

[Verse]

Skip forward ten years now and shit's messed up

Mum's depressed just trying to get up

It's harder than it's ever been before

Probably 'cos the first thing I did when I was up was [?]

But, my mum told me not to do it anymore

But i'd only do it more - Smoking til i'm zoning out until my eyes are sore

And I was immature, and trying to ignore about defining my mind

I was running like i'd never had a suicidal thought

Sort of like my future didn't matter anymore

Fed up of feeling like i'm backed against the wall

When the fact is I just wished I was the Max I was before

Admit that I was close to giving up the life I was living

But a vision of my sister got me thinking - stop

I realised that it's time to change

Started putting my thoughts inside a page

[Chorus]

This is an insight to my life and how my brain functions

And even with hindsight I wouldn't change nothing

This is an insight to my life and how my brain functions

And even with hindsight I wouldn't change nothing

[Verse]

Take it forward four years now i'm twenty one

And past is past and i've showed it all to everyone

It's to explain, but this music's like my medicine

Letting go of negatives because now i'm in my element

Never looking back on my past it's not relevant

The second that I do I see my demons, never let 'em in

I see the positives and use it in a kind of way

That everything I saw and did made me who am today

So I never looking back on that now

Like i'm ever backed down, 'cos i'm back on tracks now

Just felt the need to really put the facts out

For an insight to my life and how it panned-out

So, you can take the song and say that I went to deep

But even if you think that, you never really knew me

I'm a mind state, I dare you to try and break it

I got my voice back, I dare you to try and take it

[Outro & Instrumental]

Yes

It's Linguistics and Charlie P
