[Intro: BlackStar Shyne]
You ready, Smurf? Aight, let's go

[Hook: J. Kgosi]
I always gotta put my headphones, to slow me down and put me in my zone, when shit around me tends to go so wrong, I need a minute just to clear my dome, I use the music to just take me away from the pressures of the world that happens everyday, I always gotta put my headphones on, to slow me down and put me in my zone

[Verse 1: BlackStar Shyne]
When the world gives me stress, and sit it upon my chest, I just plug my headphones in, then I press play, now my problems seem to fade away, like an EQ, no matter the situations, lyrics seem to speak to you, like a counselor, what your problem bruh? Whatever it is, the music won't judge, whatever it is, the music will listen, it's the perfect tool to break you free of your prison, of the shame and pain, of the negative thoughts, take you away from the fray of your planet, you're an astronaut, throw your problems in the trash, they're in the past, take another trip around the sun and bask (in the sunlight). When you head to Earth, your problems, you will pass, just grasp, and grab a hold with your hand, now your problems are as tiny as a grain of sand, that's because the music help you understand

[Hook]

[Verse 2: BlackStar Shyne]
When it's me against the world, I play that 2Pac, or that Jr. G when I want my trunk to knock, treble to high, got my haters ears ringing bells, climb up in my spaceship, bumping Cloud 9 rolling like a snail, 24's on the road, higher than I've ever been, I'm on a trip to heaven, with an angel in the passenger, a youngin feels in danger bruh, don't let them catch me slipping or my life they clipping short, eyes of a crook looking shook, when I hit them with that suicide, pull that chrome, face off between you and I. What's your decision? Either do or die, just be yourself, another hater in disguise, as I ride, I wish plays, has me dazed, got me living in the sky, right next to Alex and Donald Miller, aye, no breaks, I swear I'm gone ride, these 808's gonna be my ghetto lullabye

[Hook]

[Bridge: J. Kgosi)
I always gotta put my headphones on, the shit around me tends to go so wrong, I gotta drown everything, gotta get my zone, sometimes I gotta be alone, gotta be alone, be alone, gotta keep my headphones, the shit around me tends to go so wrong...
