My Mind’s Battle

[Chorus]
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
Black The Ripper (Ripper)
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
No psychologist can unravel my mind's battle
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
It's cold outside throw your hoods up
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
Black the Ripper, look

[Verse 1]
The pain running through my veins is hard to explain
Lock me up but you still can't restrain my brain
I've been sent by God to come and change the game
I want money, fuck the fame
I stay underground like trains
I call my ends the Amazon 'cause of how much it rains
But not water, it's bullets that get exchanged
Enemies come face to face, guns get sprayed
Innocent people catch strays, it happens everyday
It's a cycle, I read the bible and pray
Life's a downward spiral but I'll find my way
If the police pull up by you then hide your grade, throw your blade and convince them dickheads you're well behaved
'Cause a night in a prison cell is living hell
Chillin' in a building where the devil's children dwell
I spit from the heart so I hope that I'm felt
I just about stayed in school, my sister got expelled

[Chorus]
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
Black The Ripper
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
No psychologist can unravel my mind's battle
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
It's cold outside throw your hoods up

[Verse 2]
Some say the good die young so I'm living a long life
Surrounded by murderers and crackheads on white
I'm nocturnal, I sleep in the day and creep at night
I'm lowkey, not even my family know what I'm like
No psychologist can unravel my mind's battle
Life is a long ride so pass me the saddle
I want notes in my pockets, I'm fed up with the shackles
We ain't chiefs, so if it's beef that shit will get handled
We live in the ends where people pretend
When you're in trouble you soon see who's your real friends
Every boy thinks they're tough and they're reppin'
They're beggin' 'cause when the scuff gets rough they leg it
I've done some bad things but I don't regret it
Because I meant it
But I know where I'm heading hopefully heaven
I strap bars all night and go bed around 7
I hear artists in this industry, how did they get in?

[Chorus]
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
Black The Ripper
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
No psychologist can unravel my mind's battle
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
It's cold outside throw your hoods up
Check it

[Verse 3]
I sit down with a biro and notepad
Thinking why is the world so bad?
Then I put an instrumental on repeat
Then I get deep in the beat
Then I channel my anger and rage of the streets
On to this chopped down tree
Can't let it go to waste, each page needs to be full of frustration like
25 years and 68 days in a cage when you was framed
50% in the binger, only blamed
Convicted for crimes they didn't do
I never knew the world was so cold
I purchased the shank and Beretta too
Niggas need to move I'm here to speak my mind
The weaker mind, only speak with 9's, that's why they're deceased or doing time
No psychologist can unravel my mind's battle
I'm not onto this metropolis, niggas are getting manhandled
Chinese sell DVDs, the Asians own shops
Whites have the top jobs, the Blacks have to rob

[Outro]
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
Black The Ripper
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
No psychologist can unravel my mind's battle
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
It's cold outside throw your hoods up
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
Neighbours were screaming (screaming)
I (I) don't have beef (have beef)
