Mantra Got Me Wrong (feat. Parvyn Kaur Singh)
(Intro) Parvyn Kaur Singh
(Chorus) Mantra
if i am lonely the shallow motif i know i don't belong,
but you won't really see the real me before you hear my songs,
cause i am lonely but don't mistake me or think that i ain't strong,
i know you think you know me, but you don't know me, and you have
got me wrong.
(Verse 1) Mantra
i'd be lying if i said i was a perfect man,
i try to tell 'em i never had no dirty hands,
in all honesty i've been in the corner before,
its all par for the course in accordance with the plan,
more than what you would've gathered from a first glance,
more often than not would you be the one to stand,
anonymous anomaly with no apology,
an oddity, with a division of psychology,
my inner demons are whittled with dichotomies,
a "Ripley's; Believe It Or Not" ideology,
striving to find the right philosophy,
all the while fine tuning the live policies,
intercepted on the regular; constantly,
as if the interjections are involuntary,
and i'd love to think that i ain't let it bother me,
but everywhere i go the self doubt follow me,
(Chorus) Mantra
if i am lonely the shallow motif i know i don't belong,
but you won't really see the real me before you hear my songs,
cause i am lonely but don't mistake me or think that i ain't strong,
i know you think you know me, but you don't know me, and you have
got me wrong.
(Verse 2) Mantra
no wonder i'm nervous and anxious,
when all i see is a world full of maggots,
early impressions, knee-jerk reactions,
trivial materials'll serve as attachments,
bout to lose my brain to migraines,
as my faint interest wanes and migrates,
seems to me we all weak at the knees,
and eager to please somebody we could never appease,
(Break) Parvyn Kaur Singh
(Chorus) Mantra
if i am lonely the shallow motif i know i don't belong,
but you won't really see the real me before you hear my songs,
cause i am lonely but don't mistake me or think that i ain't strong,
i know you think you know me, but you don't know me, and you have
got me wrong.
(Verse 3) Mantra
Yo, Yo,
not the type to want to battle a stranger,
music the preferred method of channeling anger,
deep thought, 24 channels and man i seen more,
than the average man should've had to endure,
sure i can act flamboyant and sure, its sorta for my own enjoyment,
but never would let it affect my love for the music
i'm playing it humble in front of my muses,
you just see a character portrayed on stage but if you got it figured out,
you got the inside word on what i think about,
what the gossip and scandal, what the ins and outs,
what the screw, what the juice, wanna ring it out,
wanna talk quick until you out of breath
all the talk it'll be my death,
unimpressed with the methods, so i'll render with the rhythm in
humanity,
more than you ever could mean it living in a fantasy
(Chorus) Mantra
if i am lonely the shallow motif i know i don't belong,
but you won't really see the real me before you hear my songs,
cause i am lonely but don't mistake me or think that i ain't strong,
i know you think you know me, but you don't know me, and you have
got me wrong.
