[Maestro Fresh Wes]
Yeah, going out to all my peoples, you know what I`m saying
Now move to a higher level, I`m sprint
First I inhale, then I exhale Allah`s name
You never see me pointing to the next male
Never seen me judge my cuz, I`d rthter show love
`Cause poverty`s got a grudge and the grudge won`t budge
But nigga`s gotta do what a nigga`s gotta do
What`s nigga gotta do to make dough and watch the zeros grow
I`m working hard, I make a beat I make a rhyme
Trying to make a dime, black man change your state of mind
PEACE! to PE, BDP and X-Clan when I give a pound
It`s never with my left hand
Styles are living long, you know my word is bond
`Cause my rhymes are cock strong
Like the fruit of Islam, word to God yo
Times is hard yo
I`m just a regular brother coming straight out of Scarborough
Fresh Wes`ll never perpetrate and be a gun man
That shit`ll be funny like Aaron Hall catching a suntan
I just be myself, maintain my health
Concetrate on my wealth, `cause you know I go for delf
G-O-D`s the only one who dictates
And before I plant seeds you know I got to get my shit straihgt
Concrete jungle`s could trample
A little nigga without a father figure, or an example to follow
Young minds are getting swallowed by the devil
We got to help the youth, elevate to a higher level
CHORUS [Maestro Fresh Wes]
No shackles on my mind, no shackles on my mind, no shackles on my mind
I ain`t blind, I know the time
No shackles on my mind, no shackles on my mind, no shackles on my mind
I ain`t blind, I know the time
