Mind over matter - mouth in motion
|
Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet
|
They started a riot
|
|
Spent a buck in the 90's - whatcha you got 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
|
They started a riot
|
|
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
|
They started a riot
|
|
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

They started a riot
|
|
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
|
They started a riot
|
|
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
|
They started a riot
|
|
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
