Mind over matter - mouth in motion | |
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet | |
Let's start this | |
Right | |
You spend a buck in the 80's - whatcha you get is a preacher | |
Forgivin' this torture of the system that brought 'cha | |
I'm on a mission and you got that right | |
Addin' fuel to the fire - punch to the fight | |
Many have forgotten what we came here for | |
Never knew or had a clue - so you're on the floor | |
Just growin not knowin about your past | |
Now you're lookin' pretty stupid while you're shakin' your ass | |
Mind over matter - mouth in motion | |
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet | |
Let's start this | |
Right | |
Some people fear me when i talk this way | |
Some come near me - some run away | |
Some people take heed to every word i say | |
Some wanna build a posse - some stay away | |
Some people think that we plan to fail | |
Wonder why we go under or we go to jail | |
Some ask us why we act the way we act | |
Without lookin' how long they kept us back | |
Mind over matter - mouth in motion | |
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet | |
Let's start this | |
Right | |
Yes you if i bore you - i won't ignore you | |
I'm sayin things that they say i'm not supposed to | |
Give you pride that you may not find | |
If you're blind about your past then i'll point behind | |
Kings, queens, warriors, lovers | |
People proud - sisters and brothers | |
Their biggest fear - suckers get tears | |
When we can top their best idea | |
Mind over matter - mouth in motion | |
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet | |
Let's start this | |
Right | |
Mind revolution - our solution | |
Mind over matter - mouth in motion | |
Corners don't sell it - no you can't buy it | |
Defy cause i'll never be quiet | |
Let's start this | |
Right | |
Our solution - mind revolution | |
Can't sell it - no you can't buy it in a potion | |
You lie about the life that you wanted to try | |
Tellin' me about a head - you decided to fly | |
Another brother with the same woes that you face | |
But you shot with the same hands - you fall from grace | |
Every brother should be every brother's keeper | |
But you shot with your left while your right was on your beeper | |
Mind over matter - mouth in motion | |
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet | |
Let's start this | |
Right | |
As the world turns - it's a terrible waste | |
To see the stupid look stuck on your face | |
Timebomb alarm for the world - just try it | |
Known to all zones as the one man riot | |
I'm on a mission to set you straight | |
Children - it's not too late | |
Explain to the world when it's plain to see | |
To be what the world doesn't want us to be | |
Mind over matter - mouth in motion | |
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet | |
Let's start this | |
Right |
