Elevation Free My Mind lyrics

I gotta free my mind (4X)



I gotta free my mind.. free my mind

Yeah, I gotta free my mind.. free my mind

I gotta free my mind.. free my mind

Yeah?I gotta free my mind.. free my mind



From sand docks to auction blocks to R&B

from hip-hop, how many rappers flip-flop to get props?

Signed the dotted line but didn`t read through the costs

(When your album sits on the desk) "That`s when ya lost!"

Followed your label`s notion no promotion now you`re audi

And that`s the type of moves that make an artist act rowdy

Emcees fallin victim to financial, seduction

Then watchin creative weight extracted, like liposuction

Your A&R like C`n`R got many styles to suit ya

But if it`s false to me I`ve never been an ass smoocher

Since I don`t brainwash minds, with talkin nines and

how I shoot ya, it seems no multi-million dollar contract`s

in my future, I could swallow the bait and get gassed

like petroleum, but contracts break like Rock Steady

on linoleum, no wack`n in my format, no Grammy awards

Rap over break loops and samples, no R&B chords

On a mission from God, to make the concious souls nod

when I`m rhymin, I take tracks of coal and then

compress em to a diamond, I`m in the mindstate

to escalate, when all rappers participate

it`s fate for rap to elevate..



Chorus: repeat 2X



I gotta free my mind (yo as a matter of fact)

I gotta free my mind (we`re not goin out like that)

I gotta free my mind (we got the power to stay)

"Other rappers, they went slip slidin away"



You`re goin, downtown to leave your mark on the biz

You reminisce, you and your A&R was first friends

You got talent and you ain`t afraid to splurge hip-hop

Better thrills than Jordan alley-oops the pill but still

got verbals like murder, so call on Perry Mason

Twenty-five to life, is what I`m facin, for this fate`s in

the element of fine print I`ve read it and overseen

by judgmental pompous ass phonetics, the critic

I`m still the rapper for the rhymes that he expresses

or manifestes, no frontin, I wrote the shit while blunted

Take control, don`t be a fuckin fish on a pole

Label`sll leave you murdered in a river with no soul

it`s true, for what you say is what you do with the flow

For labels MC`s come and they go, but B.U.M.S.

we leave our mark for hip-hop`s devestation

In our strive to stay alive for my record`s elevation



Chorus



I gotta free my mind.. free my mind

Yeah, I gotta free my mind.. free my mind

I gotta free my mind.. free my mind

Yeah?I gotta free my mind.. free my mind
