Yo it’s a chronic intoxication The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing Yo it’s a chronic intoxication Free yourself of limits, never stop so place up Yo it’s a chronic intoxication The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing Said that it’s a chronic intoxication Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop This reminds me of old times, a mind is a terrible thing I never thought that I’d rise to be a lyrical king But yo to everyone’s surprise I’m alive and kicking Got a voyeuristic mind, I gotta watch what I’m thinking My reflections are eternal, Kweli told me once in a song It might as well have been a gift from the gods There’s certain lessons that I’ve taken to the grave Yo enough of it all, give me the ball, let me take it to the pain I don’t feel any pain, I won’t suffer defeat The word is on the street that you worry bout Nieve The world is at his feet, that one two that you had to run through Put you in a coma, you can’t come to Look at what you done to me Turned me from an everyday beauty to a modern day beast Yo they call it a disease, I say it’s from the earth So I breathe, let me be yo you know what it be Yo it’s a chronic intoxication The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing Yo it’s a chronic intoxication Free yourself of limits, never stop so place up Yo it’s a chronic intoxication The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing Said that it’s a chronic intoxication Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop I’m living quicker than the grey snow Race through the wrinkles in time My blurred vision keeps me blind from a beautiful mind I can’t capture any words along my way throughout these chapters Trapped behind the back page, cascades of past ways And young thoughts, we used to have those big smiles We were still so many miles from a broken heart But nowadays we never think about the change Really know what we’ve became really ain’t the same I remember all the spread, big buildings on the corner Used to stop the traffic when we held the microphone up Although I was a phony, I cuffed hands in a tight fist And they believed that a microphone exist We would spin till the daylight dropped Philosophize about our day, contemplate it on the way to the park The wait of the dark is easy, homie, sit and relax Find the light though is really the task, puff to that Yo it’s a chronic intoxication The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing Yo it’s a chronic intoxication Free yourself of limits, never stop so place up Yo it’s a chronic intoxication The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing Said that it’s a chronic intoxication Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop Yo yo yo I need a little bit more, won’t get rid of it all I need some so I can fly, be so high I can soar I do it while I record to make magic out of nothing at all They match since one of them fall And shake the ashes from a cigarette off And what’s inside it ain’t a secret Come and take a look you get excited when you see it Yo I write it like a mean it cause I live what I say One hit will get you lifted away, let’s take a different way From what the others in the world might choose If we follow all the rules then we all might lose I’ll explore a different path in my all-white shoes And leave tracks for some more white grooves I put myself out on all my tunes And you can feel me if you listen Flipping up my style, I keep changing my position I continue on my mission till the list complete Burn the bitterness of life through my Swisher Sweet
