Artist: Ice-T Album: O.G. Original Gangster Song: Mind Over Matter Typed by: dy_face@yahoo.com [Intro: Ice-T] Yo yo, one two, in the place to be MC Ice, you know what I'm saying? Cold lounging here in the new O.G. LP You know, Original Gangster is in the house This is going out to all my homeboys on the streets And all the brothers locked down [Verse One: Ice-T] It's been a long while, since I hit you with freestyle High tech selection from the vaults of the Ice files Kick back, relax and watch as I melt wax Don't ever let a brother like me ride a dope track Cause once I hit it with the vocal tone it's mine Have motherfuckers rushing to rewind Cause I'll flow slow and still twist your tongues up Rock the house from night til the sun is up Cause it really ain't how much you say, it's what you say I got no fucking time on the mic to play I write rhymes with the Addition and Algebra Mental geometry, don't even come at me Talking that weak and popping that bullshit Get out my face, a fool could get his head split A lot of doubters said: it couldn't be done by me Them same suckers are now looking from under me Wondering what I did, I didn't play myself kid I've respected my fans and made the high bid Sometimes I write my rhymes at night and fall asleep Wake up with new techniques Grab the pen, and place it on some loose leaf Nothing soft, always the tough meat The white paper and blue lines excite my mind Not allowing me to stop the rhyme Until the whole motherfucking book is complete Then I write on the back of the sheets I made a promise to my brothers in street crime We'd get paid with the use of a sweet rhyme We put our minds together, made the tracks clever Now we're checking more bank than ever Mind over matter [Chorus] So you got to have Mind Power, like the brother say.. Mind over matter - Mind Power!! [Verse Two: Ice-T] I can drop rhymes in twos and threes and fours And still have much shit left for encores Cause once my mind locks in on a dope idea Motherfucking ducks should stand clear Cause I'ma hit the topic in point blank It's jail, you better keep your shank Cause I got mine and I'm out on a solo creep (Uggga!) Your face hits the concrete You wanna roll with the niggaz that don't play I think you got false courage, get out my damn way Cause the car I'm in is rolling full of men Not kids or boys, E got the Mac 10 Islam has got the Zulu Nation back up DJ Aladdin is who hooked the fucking track up Syndicate is making the move with the ski masks And I'm housing the long cash So now you realized you underestimated me, The Ice You thought that I was OK, but now you realize I'm nice But that's alright, cause I knew I'd make it in the end Those who like me now, might not would like me then But I'ma keep impressing, stressing my blessing And keep motherfuckers guessing Armor plate my mind with walls and shields As I escape from the killing fields [Chorus] I can understand.. Mind over matter I know what it means.. Mind power Mind over matter ----------> Ice-T Mind over matter --------> Chuck D Mind over matter ----------> Ice-T Mind over matter --------> Chuck D Mind over matter ----------> Ice-T Mind over matter --------> Chuck D [Verse Three: Ice-T] Wise up, move through the tempo of this hype groove You know this shit is dope, so what you trying to prove? Vu's max as Evil E, my nigga dogs the wax My brain is a hand grenade - catch! I'm a hit you with an over load of bottomless thought Reversing all the shit you taught Then throw words at you, syl-la-ble-at-a-time Your brain recites the rhyme No matter what you do, the power is over you When you sleep, you'll be saying these rhymes too Cause the brain has the power to control all Think positive, you'll be unable to fall Brain cells swell, thought process becomes a trance Make you feel possessed to dance I'll say I want a million, my mind is so deep I'll be busting a Cheque for it next week [Chorus] Like the brother say.. Mind over matter I know what it means.. Mind Power! Mind over matter
