i need some time to ease my mind
thrusted in a world that i don’t know
from my mamas lips between my mamas hips
i’m cuddled by her hands because she understands
it’s that bond that keeps the movement movin’ on
life is surrounded with so many insecurities
back stabbin’ is like breathing when in poverty
i try to make my sanity with the insane
god is secondary to most when they scrap for money
but then again money can cause even more death
when a african becomes a nigga step n fetch n all
i dare say when price is right u can buy us all
well not me cuz i don’t truly give a care about you
i’ll move in poverty in wealth but i’ll surely move
ain’t syncopated with your beats or your wack grooves
my break beat is to break away from yo thang
all these things you put on me makes this brother sing
i need some time to ease my mind
mind soul is even more important then body
money can put my body in all exotic spaces
meanwhile my mind soul remotely dwells
within that fine spot between all messed up hell
and so i move on with confidence of harmony
and do my thang to resist this wack society
cuz if you don’t resist i mean consciously
you’ll fool your subconscious into accepting it
i ain’t acceptin’ it i keep my focus
i keep my focus i ain’t acceptin’it
give me a face pencil to draw a smile on me
answer my prayer to give my earthly body inner peace
answer my prayer to give my earthly
body
inner
inner peace
until that day upon which my souls released
need some time need some time
when the sista’s say it then you know it’s gotta be real
thrusted in a world that i don’t know
from my mommas lips between my mamas hips
i’m cuddled by her hands because she understands
it’s that bond that will keep the movement movin’ on
it’s that bond that will keep the movement movin’ on
and so i gotta be ready to relinquish
gotta be ready to relinquish my breath of life for struggle
that is why i tell you
i need some time to ease my mind
