Peter Rosenberg - Mind Over Matter lyrics

[Intro: Jay NiCE] It's Duke Fly Talker (East side, east side, east side, east side, east side, east side, east side) Spark the spirits Well, I've been going on this year, man, it's been pretty wild Came through to drop a quick jewel on you real quick Uh, ayo [Verse 1: Jay NiCE] In a world full of Winthorpes and Billy Rays I wouldn't trade places with anybody, I'm really paid An Album Called Classic hit a million plays yesterday I'm feeling great, I'm building a brilliant base to kill the game But the game ain't the same, things done changed Biggie Smalls was a prophеt, ni**as lost and the object is just dumb fame Thе mystery is gone, no love for history Trickery was born, it really ain't no honest victories no more COVID killed the possibilities of tours It's a shame for the fans, all these new artists they won't get to see perform Wearing masks is the norm and everybody wanna be Mach I'm back with the storm, I'm finna reign off of these drops The black ZZ Top the way he rock Beat the block with the underhanded lay to the rim, that 23 shot It's Flair Jordan, so you won't catch me in no Reeboks I'm at the weed spot, blowing steam like a teapot, dawg [Chorus: Jay NiCE] It's grind over chatter and mind over matter Our brains slowing down as the time going faster Every day a new tragedy, the pain won't numb I keep cooking like Sam 'cause the change gon' come I said it's grind over chatter and mind over matter Our brains slowing down as the time going faster Every day a new tragedy, the pain won't numb I keep cooking like Sam 'cause the change gon' come [Verse 2: Jay NiCE] Man, the game so dumbed down, they just aim those guns So much rain it start to feel like it ain't no sun I still call my dawg son 'cause he shine like one Shedding tears in the dark until the limelight come I'm tryna figure sh*t out, but it ain't clear, it's plain weird Man, how we lose Kobe and gain COVID in the same year? I'm stressed, seein' grays in my beard Thoughts in my brain scared that one day I'ma go crazy and let that flame air That's why you ni**as rarely see me on the local scene A lot of y'all is brainwashed, we don't have the same goals or dreams On social media all day, just posting memes It seems like the people screaming the most that they woke be sleep I'm only having convos with my folks and team Compare the streams, we ain't in the same boat, you see? I'm floating over the peanut gallery to a higher salary The flyest in the entire galaxy, 'cause [Chorus: Jay NiCE & Eto] It's grind over chatter and mind over matter Our brains slowing down as the time going faster Every day a new tragedy, the pain won't numb I keep cooking like Sam 'cause the change gon' come I said it's grind over chatter and mind over matter Our brains slowing down as the time going faster Every day a new tragedy, the pain won't numb I keep cooking like Sam 'cause the change gon' come (Yo) [Verse 3: Eto] The Dutch'd make me more of a man 'TiIl the men around me understands me more, that's a chore and it stands You get the upstate bus, your coroner van Ride or die, just leave me my portion of grams All I needed was some sleep on the side and a big pie Tell them ni**as we on the rise and they can't hide If he took a seat in my ride, he stayed live I could count on four fingers, one will never make five Yeah, huh, as cautious as I am They never thought of runnin' in the apartments that I ran See, I got 'em out of it, y'all was in a jam Now the more that I understand, my young men'll become men And don't be a dick su*ker When I was out in the streets eating, I missed supper Yeah, it got colder in Jan The upstate bus or the coroner van, ride or die
