KRS-One - The Mind lyrics



[Chorus One 2X: KRS-One]

First thing we must do is make up our - MIND

Then we must go and really clear our - MIND

Erase the doubt and the fear from our - MIND

Share our - MIND, speak our - MIND

[KRS-One]

Stand up brother, stand up sister

I told y'all before, love is gonna get'cha

Lovin that money, lovin that liquor

Lovin that sex without respect you gets no bigger

I ain't got time to chill, only got time to build

You find that in those with skills

This a real MC, of the highest degree

With no video, my show they dyin to see

Not whether I'm buyin 'em three

When you watch television just keep sayin they lyin to me

Cause they are - how long you gonna stay at the bar?

I'm not desperate for money, maybe you are, but listen

[Chorus Two 2X: KRS-One]

First thing we gon' do is make up our - MIND

Then we gon' go, and we gon' clear our - MIND

Erase the doubt and the fear from our - MIND

Share our - MIND, speak our - MIND

[KRS-One]

Don't you think it's time we thought about the future?

Whether our children they gonna be winners or losers?

Don't you think it's time to advance the rhyme we spit?

Whether you know it or not, you deep in politics

All inside of it, in fact YOU the issue

Don't let this government diss you!

They really do not want you to vote

They really do not want you to hope

They really want you sniffin they coke

You look around yo we missin the boat

I coulda wrote about ANYTHING to get on, but this what I wrote

And what I'm writin, is guaranteed to enlighten

Like Dr. Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson

This is how we do it today, enough of the crime talk

KRS got somethin new to say

Rise up, and put aside childish things

This is the message we bring; listen

[Chorus Two]

[KRS-One]

Last verse, KRS, blast first

Ignorance is bad, but temptation that's worse

They hide they purse, cause of the way we spit the verse

No one ever told 'em that the style's rehearsed

And even if they did, it wouldn't be new to they mind

Cause all day rappers confess to doin these crimes

So when the cops see you, they're not thinkin about me

They thinkin about takin you out of society

Keep it right, don't lie to me

You think it's too much preachin teachin?

Huh, well fine, we'll see

When you're locked up in J.D.C., or even prison

The truth shall set you free, just listen

You want health, and really that's about prevention

You want love, real love, and not depression

You want awareness, which come from discipline and will

You want wealth, which come from skills

When you really ready to talk, let's build

You ain't gotta be a scholar to know the next 4 years gonna be ill

I believe you already know the drill, don't lie

don't steal, seek peace and don't kill

[Chorus One]
