[Verse: Angus Stone] Just a spoon full of sugar Makes the medicine go down Sweet Mary-Jane won't you lay me down Lost my heart in California, lost my mind Shot me down with a revolver, got me high Then a heart of gold came on the stereo Mr Young made me cry Then all the colors of the rainbow Fell in my eyes [Hook: Angus Stone] I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road [Post hook: Cee] Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back, But I'mma take my time for me to find that, The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back, It's like I'm dying sometimes so I don't mind that, Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back, But I ain't sure if I'm really wanting to find that, The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back, Tt's like I died a hundred times so I don't mind that [Verse 2: Angus Stone] Took a train to the river Where I drove right in That skinny dippin' girl Made the blue bird sing Fell in love in California, she blew my mind She shot me down with her revolver She got me high Then the weather man came on the radio Said there be sunshine Then all the colors of the rainbow Fell in my mind [Hook: Angus Stone] I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road [Post Hook: Cee] Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back, But I'mma take my time for me to find that, The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back, It's like I'm dying sometimes so I don't mind that, Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back, But I ain't sure if I'm really wanting to find that, The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back, It's like I died a million times so I don't mind that [Hook: Angus Stone] I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road [Verse: Cee] I think it's gone for good, my mind disappeared, It's feeling kinda normal when I think it should be really weird, It's the change that's been marinating inside for years, And only now it's coming out just who the fuck I really is, Most of my life was autopilot, I barely remember half the shit that happened before I had rap around and, Music gave me meaning that nothing else ever did, So to hell with everything, I'm finna dedicate my life to this, So in turn, my identity it stemmed from rap, Everything I did, you best believe it's relating to that, At 29 years old, that's more than half my life, The only thing that mattered to this kid was a beat and a mic, Across the planet it has taken me and lately, I been feeling like I'm going through something of an awakening, Shit that mattered then, don't really matter now, Shit that happened then, I kinda forgot about, And as a kid I always pictured how I'd be, When I get older, and whenever I look in the mirror I see him, And I sit and wonder if I'm living up to my potential, Am I cruising at a speed that's gonna take me where I need to get to, Nothing is ever enough, And I know that it's my sense of urgency that's gonna take us to the top, But I'm struggling to navigate the negative around, Though I'm leading with conviction it's my flaws that bring me down, And I'm tired of the stress it brings, lying if I said it stings, All the while I'm praying that I never make a mess of things, And I fell in the position that I'm in, Then my love for it grew with every lesson coming with it, Now I'm rollin' with a focus, Game is getting vicious, the crew is ridiculous, I'm unstoppable and I know this, But, my personal life is fucking with me, My best friend was lost when we broke up, scars is still visible, And even though we making music, in a moment, It can go from hella chill to world war three, and it's my fault, I let it happen, wasn't ready for commitment, I gave her my twenties, now I think that I'mma relive 'em, And yo that's why I'm so damn vibed to get up outta here, I need a new me so bad, it's like I'm already there, In the end, you can't really blame me, A change of scenery is much better than a vacation, And I've been waiting patient, resolve so strong, nothing can break me, yeah, Where I'm going, there ain't a ticket that can take me there, All I'm doing is putting work in, It feels with every step I take, success is the like furthest thing from certain, But I'm a different person, like from another planet, And my jeans is getting tighter as my mindstate is expanding, So my friends all think I'm weird now, but everybody changes, I'm just overdue for something new to put my name to, But I don't really wanna talk about this shit, So the people closest to me learn about it when I spit, So consider my mind gone, I lost it long ago down that (down that yellow brick road)

about

It's here! This is the first leak from the three volume 'The Indie Experiment' mixtape series. The concept is that I take full songs and fill in the gaps with my vocals, as opposed to just chopping the songs up, which rappers tend to do.

Please be patient on this one; my verse doesn't come in til just before the 4 minute mark, but I do spit some hooks in between. The build up is important to the song as a whole, and I know 8 minutes is quite the ask but please bare with me. It's worth it.

It's the most personal shit I've ever done, so I'm keen to hear any thoughts!
