Mental Note Lyrics

Take a mental note listen close to every word they spoke

Not all jests are harmless some conceal a deeper poke

What they say in humor often spreads like a rumor

Starts with a quip ends with anger the cycle's a tumor

They retract downplay but the fire's just stoked

Words cut deep leaving scars we ain't never provoked

A mental note watch what they say watch how they play

Words ain't just words they reveal what they portray

Keep your ears sharp don't let their ignorance sway

Their true colors shine when they think you're their prey

Sally laughs says Sarah's outfit looks like thrift-store rags

Plays it off as a joke but the insult still drags

Oh but she "didn't mean it" "just a little fun"

Yet her tone says different when she thinks no one's stunned

And Jamal cracks wise 'bout his girl's book smarts

Says she's "cute but clueless" playing it off as art

But beneath the punchline there's a bitter truth

Every joke holds a piece of what they really construe

So jot it down every word every sound

Their thoughts on display their true colors found

Don't let them fool you with their facade so grand

In their words lies the truth exactly where they stand

A mental note watch what they say watch how they play

Words ain't just words they reveal what they portray

Keep your ears sharp don't let their ignorance sway

Their true colors shine when they think you're their prey

So take heed of the lesson listen keen stay aware

In this world of deceit true intentions lay bare

Let their words be a guide a compass a clue

A mental note for yourself in everything they do
