Pete Rock Mind Over Matter Lyrics

"I-I 'N' I 'mit to verify" -> C.L. Smooth
"On the mic and bike, on the mic and bike" -> Biz Markie (X4)

[Grap Luva]
Pay attention cause my focus is not that of a clown
I gets down for mine when I astound you with my rhymes
It's like that in the years of the 9
I.N.I. comes though with the rhyme divine
What you gonna do? Who you gonna tell one son, you can't run you got to stay and listen
Cuz the the mission is this to be hittin em' with the real flavor all the time yes indeed I'm (the G to the R-A-P four sqaure freestyle specialist) Poppin the mic
But can't you see that I'm rockin the mic
Shocking MC's because they don't know how to write
Comin' clear and precise with the rhyme device
mathematics manafist so chill don't test there no stress
We do this on the reg you know the time
Speaking to people that matter with my mind

Chorus(X4)

[Rob-O]
From tall tenaments streets suspense loss innocence check the events it's all evidence
That this life is intense with all the bullshit and nonsense
and kids predictaments got me convinced.
When your pockets is bent, you can't accomplish nothing brothers is frontin and y'all b____es do is want something
I think it's time to get this microphone line to get known for mine making my own sunshine
Aw yeah living life without a care
go for dope rhyme sayer to major player
But aviod inner scene cause it's the seedfull
paraiod ed the cream but I needed to feed my peoples. Rob-O at the top of the list, you thought I'm fallin' but back the hell up Im still ballin'
Since I rather watch a confidence shatter
while my pockets gettin fatter
puttin' Mind Over Matter like that

Chorus(X4)

[Ras Luv]
His imperial Majesty I'm coming in clearly
stay preaching to my peoples so we must hear we
I kept verses on stash since elementary
Revelations occured so I became a n___ a New Age
Seeing the eyes on stage giving microphone checks and then it's time to engage
to turn the page just to see a darker shade
of African ways being displayed
I made the grade when I cut the fade
and now MC's is my trade I use to get the bills paid
So yo save your shade and your thoughts of misbehave cause these are the last f___ing days
So like Ace Duce Tre you pay when I scoop up.
Another beat move up while the rhythm erupts.
So I give em' the funk which is the chord to the batter
Rhymes over beats = the Mind Over Matter

Chorus(X8)

"Hot non-stop on how I hip hop on the mic and bike, on the mic and bike"-> Biz Markie (Repeat until fade)
