Mindstate

Lyrics

[Intro: Big Mike] This shit right here, is called "Mindstate" Young Aasim, Sean C on the beat [Verse 1] Battle my conscious, at war with my thoughts You see sin in my actions, support by my passionate talk I crawl from the ashes, my knuckles drag when I walk I prefer to be called the savage that's my arrogance for As a bastard I suffered, but pucker up and kiss the ass of a fucker Mean enough to kick a nun in some chukkas I'm somebody's brother older and younger, I'm the son of a mother Who pro'ly wished she would've left me in the gutter No gimmicks, no fables, a book of lyrics and two turntablеs Reachin' the masses with no rеcord label Effective immediately, I'm tellin' you straight I got a fork, a knife, a spoon, and a plate, I'm here to eat The hunger's a beast and the beast wants me under the streets Ain't no slug in my feet, only dumb slugs in my heat, and you Dumb fucks get deceased when you outta line, I'm 'bout money None of you funny dudes is pals of mine, keep it light [Chorus] What's on your mind? Is it crime? Let me get a piece I'm tryin' to shine, let me get a piece It's 'bout time niggas get a piece, it's do or die You alive long as my niggas get a piece, uh What's on your mind? Is it crime? Let me get a piece I'm tryin' to shine, let me get a piece It's 'bout time niggas get a piece, it's do or die You alive long as my niggas get a piece, uh [Verse 2] Starvin' is part of me, the lighter side of me is peace The darker side of me's a beast, I guess it's yin and yang Thoughts of a terrorist, killin' myself to keep it real So the streets could never revoke my membership Aas' is a verbalist, reportin' to the inner-city Murderistic turbulence, like a urban journalist Word for word it's just being broke and poor Is a illness and money cures the plague like a herbalist For certain my moves is a calculated purpose Ghetto religion, rockin' du-rags like a turban And fiends is searchin' for what they need got 'em hurtin And foreign shooters, this Luger got me speakin' in German My mind is a canvas, I picture life like a cannon The stills I capture reveals the story of my actions Stand and deliver, niggas is tired of the bottom of the barrels So we grind like we animals, you feel me now? [Chorus] What's on your mind? Is it crime? Let me get a piece I'm tryin' to shine, let me get a piece It's 'bout time niggas get a piece, it's do or die You alive long as my niggas get a piece, uh What's on your mind? Is it crime? Let me get a piece I'm tryin' to shine, let me get a piece It's 'bout time niggas get a piece, it's do or die You alive long as my niggas get a piece, uh [Outro: Denzel Washington from Training Day & Big Mike] Ah, you motherfuckers, hahaha Okay, alright I'm puttin' cases on all you bitches, huh? You think you can do this shit- Switch it!
