Mind over matter - mouth in motion

Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet

Let's start this

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

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

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

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

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
