Intro: | |
"i was born, in a dump | |
My mama died and my father got drunk | |
They left me, to die or grow | |
In the middle of tobacco road | |
I grew up in a rusty shack | |
All i owned was hangin on my back | |
And lord knows, how i learnt | |
This place called tobacco road | |
Tobacco road, you're dirty and you're filthy | |
Tobacco road, gonna get me some dynamite and a crane | |
I'm gonna blow it up, lord knows gonna start all over again" | |
"my mind is the place where i make my plans | |
The world is the place where i take my stand | |
The beauty of life is mine today | |
They cannot take my mind away" | |
[m1] | |
**** what you heard, i'm from africa | |
This ain't no act it's mathematical | |
Past the black radical | |
I choose the m1, because it's practical | |
Nothin was changed, we ain't protected | |
No names, it's all factual | |
They push the wrong buttons, count down to detonate | |
Brooklyn blown away and the world will have to speculate | |
This is what we learn in the streets, **** a degree | |
Believe in none of what you hear and half of what you see | |
[stic] | |
It's like watching your own father smoke crack | |
I have nightmares on shit like that | |
No way in hell i'll ever get like that | |
I seen a lot of shit in twenty-two years | |
It's like a tour of duty | |
My life is booby-trapped, it's hard to see the beauty | |
When your heart is turning ice cold | |
Cold like your hands exposed to blistering winds | |
My mother keep her eyes closed, she say she prayin | |
I listen close to what she sayin | |
When she speak of jesus i ignore it | |
But when it's practical i'm all for it | |
You got to think like a soldier | |
I'm training myself to snatch pistols out of holsters | |
Discipline keep the mind focused | |
This whole world is a corn field son | |
Look out for flying locusts | |
Chorus (x2) | |
Don't let 'em get in your head, they try to probe you | |
Figure your thoughts so they can try and control you | |
And through you, control your whole crew | |
It's psychology boy, now what the **** that make you wanna do? | |
[m1] | |
You can't walk the streets with no state of mind | |
Blind to the ways of mankind | |
And if you know the time, give me a sign | |
Tell me where we draw the line | |
I got your back if you got mine | |
My enemy's enemy is my man | |
One dreadlock is stronger than one strand while the crackers got the upper hand | |
My comrades stand on lands stolen | |
Every tooth a golden opportunity | |
Who holdin my community hostage? | |
10% ransom, costing us time we lost and some | |
This is how the plan runs | |
Thinkin with a fugitive brain | |
What we do to live is insane | |
Holdin the weed, healing my membranes | |
Just like crack, you know it all boils down | |
To the dollars-and-cents of it | |
Niggaz commence to get ? to sentenced to serve terms | |
Jumping the fence, the black germ is loose | |
When will they learn? | |
Psychology | |
[stic] | |
We piss on walls and smoke reefa in the halls | |
No respect for their laws | |
I cut your face with a kitchen knife | |
In gladiator times, man against machinery | |
The tree bark fatigues help me blend in with the scenery boy | |
Life is a series of serious choices | |
Theories is formed from experience, never mysterious forces | |
Various courses of life can lead to failure | |
Too much of anything is a trap | |
My mind snap | |
Guerilla warfare for two grand | |
They say karate means 'empty hands' | |
So then it's perfect for the poor man... | |
They say karate means 'empty hands' | |
So then it's perfect for the poor man | |
Chorus (x2) | |
Bridge | |
[m1] | |
When you think of us think of pyramids and pistols | |
And glimmering gold teeth that shine like crystals | |
The mind is like a jewel son | |
Only a fool wouldn't grasp it | |
Wisdom is a tool, you get blasted | |
When you think of us think of pyramids and pistols | |
And glimmering gold teeth that shine like crystals | |
The mind is like a jewel son | |
Only a fool wouldn't grasp it | |
Wisdom is a tool, you get blasted | |
"free your mind, and the rest will follow | |
Seize the time, no-one is promised tomorrow" | |
Repeat until fade |
