Speak My Mind

[Verse 1]
Ay
Play me on the station
Children, gather ‘round as I make another statement
This is coming to you via me out of the basement
Most of what you hear comes straight out of corporations
This is why they poison ya
Miseducation have you chasing all them drugs that ruin your generation
Children in GH, I’m hoping you get to thinking
I notice you wanna turn up and follow them entertainers who came up inside the ghetto in a white supremacist nation
Really are powerless over powerful songs they making
Making you think it’s cool to be stupid and act with hatred
Make it as if I’m wrong, have you seen the movie The Matrix?
We are not in control, we have been dominated
Spiritually we are blind, [?] through education
If this was my last song, I’d tell you you should play it
And hope that it last long before they go erase it

[Chorus]
I just wanna tell you what I feel sometime
Early morning, late night, speak my mind
Can I speak my mind?
Tell you what I feel sometime
Tell you what I feel sometime

I just wanna tell you what I feel sometime
Late night, early morning, speak my mind
Can I speak my mind?
Tell you what I feel sometime
Can I tell you what I feel sometime?
What I feel sometimes

[Verse 2]
So now they make us mumble
Now we savages like we come out of the jungle
Turn it to a jingle
Get it pressed, labels pressed to call it a single just to get some singles
Ladies, if you’re single, you don’t need a man, well that’s what they gonna tell you
Like you ain’t need a dad, in search of a father figure in the form of a ni**a who was raised by a mother with no father as a figure
No wonder why you figure your worth is in your figure
Posting pictures on Insta, looking for some attention
America might say you’re slut-shaming, I should kill it
But this the same nation that Marcus sexed the children
Dumbing down black expression to make us peasants
Blackball black genius or water down the message
Starve me out but the children are my investment
And if this was my last song, I hope that you would catch it

[Chorus]
I just wanna tell you what I feel sometime
Early morning, late night, speak my mind
Can I speak my mind?
Tell you what I feel sometime
Tell you what I feel sometime

I just wanna tell you what I feel sometime
Late night, early morning, speak my mind
Can I speak my mind?
Tell you what I feel sometime
Can I tell you what I feel sometime?
What I feel sometimes

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I think my fans they really don’t understand me
Say, “Hene, stay independent” then tell me I need a Grammy
Looking for them blue checks the moment they Instagram me
The minute that they don’t see it, they think that I’m less outstanding
Attention deficit, [?] in this genesis
Throttled by algorithms that limit intelligence
I’m ‘bout to pack my bags, retreat and just cut my losses
There’s nothing you can do when the people are this unconscious
Tell you left is right then argue that right is wrong
If you dare to go up against it, offended, they send they army (like I care)
You can’t alarm me or harm me so I ain’t gon’ stop
I got my own thoughts, ain’t running from no thought cops
