Mindstate

[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!
