[Intro]
Yeah, Mind Over Matter
Have you ever had those feelings
That you couldn't seem to shake?
I have
This is my story
Listen

[Verse 1]
I'm droppin' the verse, I'm bringin' the heat
I'm flowing a line that you cannot defeat
I'm killin' myself, I'm feelin' myself
But did I ever think that this could happen to me?
No, it's all in my head and I can't tell
The good from the bad, is this hell?
Or is it just another time in my life
One that I'm filling up with hatred, strife
Kept the ball rolling, kept myself going
All the times I fell and I needed consoling
I was there for me when no one else would
I always called it luck, knock on wood
Where were you when I was here struggling?
You were out there doing your own thing
But that's okay, I made it this far alone
Searching and seeking to just find my own
I'm not angry, really I'm at peace now
I was my mentor, I showed me how
To cope with all the things life hit me with
How did I do it? I plead the fifth
All you need to know is that I am here
Feet planted firmly, I have no fear
Won't run from my problems so big and bad
I truly am the man that this game never had

[Hook x2]
We're all broken souls
We're all broken hearted
We all fall down sometimes
But we all get up unscarred, kid

[Verse 2]
So calm on the outside I always am
But inside my head lies Vietnam
There are times so hard that I can't even cope
That I write so much but I never feel dope
I just wanna collapse, just wanna play dead
Sometimes I wanna put a gun to my head
But then I realize how strong I am inside
Come this far and haven't laid down or died
So don't judge me by the color of skin
Judge me by the lyrical madness I spin
Because I'm here to help anyone at all
Who listens to what I say when I bawl
Because I am no more than any of you
I have the talent and skill to do this, true
But the fact of the matter is I have no clue
I just flow the best I can, it's nothing new

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3]
Check it, guys, you know I got plenty to say
I just wanna sit here and rap my worries away
But we all know I can't, because I'm scarred too
I'm just like everyone else, it's true
But inside I am my own human being
Inside is the beauty that is so worth seeing
I'm just here to express myself in few words
So here goes, bro, yo, rise of the nerds
Takin' it away with intent to impress
I'm not gonna change on you, #thedress
I'm only here to change your style of thinkin'
As if I were preaching like a hardcore Christian
Sometimes it's too hard to press on, you see
Just like this impediment that makes me me
When I try to spit bars faster than a Pittsburgh plant
I just sound like a babbling crazy sycophant
Speedy Gonzales has got nothing on me
Sonic better catch up on his running spree
Gotta go faster if he wants to catch up to me
Because at this point I'm gone, Cloudsdale Academy
So here goes nothing from this lonely soul
Will this ever go big? Nobody knows
But that doesn't matter to me, I'm just here for fun
Nihil sub sole novum, nothing new under the sun
