Keep Your Mind Songtext

that sh!t will get sold that sh!t wiill get bought
I thought
that real nigg@s understood the hustle
but yet you wanta get paid
out and in between the struggle
my mother
my friend to the got d.amn end
cause sometime your kin
will do your a$$ in
my friend my foe my woman my hoe
if the shoe fit yo toe
just as long as you know who you be
look here cause I know who i be
I be the coolest as nigga bout as far as
you can see MJG
guaranteed out rump spanker
kunyak dranker deep thought thanker
painter picture for your ears as you listen
it's bout time for you to peep
what you been you goota
Keep your mind be strong
you can't be to impatient
the government is hatin
them sticker boards is waitn by your ride
you tired of the way that life is treating you
your personal life is f*cked up
your baby momma beeping you
[x2]

I got hang up let downs bad breaks set backs
chart took my check back
hopin I'm a sweat that
less that
other finacial helps come through
I'm a countine doin what i do stand true
within my heart I had it plan from the start
playin the cart just only trying to do my part
all I can say is that the LORD must of bless me
cause comin up
I know that the streets did test me
from 16 yrs. old we flowed
and blewed joes with
nigg@s who were cold
but old and know Moses
I had to make my own path through my math
understand that I had to be sad before
I'm glad
see life play tricks on your mind
you got to fight it
or else you just a bumb waitng to get egnighted
I write it
but also I live it and i'm a get it
straight to the @ss and make sure my people
feel it

[Chorus]

Who said making money easy
sho nuff if it's illegal
i'm trying to roll a got d@mn benz
up out this regal
the season keep passing my
stuck in the cold
no transportation to role
my clothes is old
the devil is trying to make me believe
that I need
what the nexst man got in order for me to achieve yes indeed
close your grip or else fall
cause the only one catching you @ss
gone be the walls
see time never waits for one who sits still
but some take they hole d@mn life to get real
I chill
do my own d@mn thing
f*ck a buster
a hoe can only get on my nerves if I trust her
now could i get pay for flattery h3ll naw
consider when you stuck me but really I stuck
yall applause give me some dap I bust raps
but you not intouch with yourself you gone snap

[Chorus till he starts talkin]
