Ninesixloomis - Inner Peace

I quietly completed and uploaded this song about a year ago.

Since then I've been putting more thought into how and when I'd go about sharing new music.

It's time.

"Inner Peace" is about setting boundaries when you feel they're needed.

Listen to "Inner Peace" on...

Apple Music

Spotify

Lyrics:

Some days I wanna be alone, I promise

Some days I don't wanna speak to a soul, I promise

Cuz I ain't even social to begin with

With every convo comes somethin' to contend with

Like "Whatchu need from me? How can I help you?"

I spend all week doin' what they tell me to

When do I get to be? No pullin' on my sleeve

It's like they all want a piece of my energy

I pull up to the Shell, I need to fill my tank

Some rando walks up and asks me for a Gatorade

Get your electrolytes another way

It's hella late, and I already had a long day

He said "You stressed about work, you shouldn't keep on"

I had the untucked button-up long sleeve on

You right about that - 1 thing we can agree on

That's why all I wanna do is fill up then be home

Please, I'm tryna protect my inner peace

Remember social distancing? Make that still a thing

I only spend time with the family

And work with those that are truly on the grind like me

Boundaries, what you know about 'em?

Push me - and I'll teach you, I can show you 'bout 'em

Boundaries, what you know about 'em?

I put 'em up, you won't be able to go around 'em

I listen to constructive criticism... Not haters

Won't hesitate to delete comments, and block haters

I'm just tryna keep it zen

Don't project your struggle, try to deal with it from within

I already don't have enough time in a day

If you ain't about progression, bitch, slide out the way

Last year I was doin' okay, I was gettin' paid

Then I multiplied, x1.55 that today

Yeah, it comes with its pains - But I reinvest in me

1 foot in, 1 foot out on my way to destiny

Used to have to phone a friend for a session or a beat

Now I call myself - Do it all independently

That's why I protect my peace... That's why I protect my peace

I protect it with my mind, I protect it with my piece

I won't give it up for nothin', see - I depend on me

And so does my family... Yeah, we all gotta eat

Please, I'm tryna protect my inner peace

Remember social distancing? Make that still a thing

I only spend time with the family

And work with those that are truly on the grind like me

Boundaries, what you know about 'em?

Push me - and I'll teach you, I can show you 'bout 'em

Boundaries, what you know about 'em?

I put 'em up, you won't be able to go around 'em
