Professor P & DJ Ak**es - Mind Over Matter lyrics

[Verse 1: Professor P] Check it, they connected back in second grade Used to do their homework while A Tribe's first record played Ten years later, they're only one step away From Westwood, Bobbito & Stretch, King Tech and Sway At nineteen is when their first big check was made Spent it on a Lexus and an Escalade With one single out, you can't depend on your resumé Let's just say, they should have invested, friends from yesterday Got replaced, by fake friends who all got the taste For digging out pockets after profits, lock the safe When you think you're on top it's often not the case That's a truth we all got to face Days in the sun, has ways to become nights in the cold When you're dealing with the ice and the gold Their second single flopped and they got dropped Though they had the block locked but fell from the top spot Blinded by fame they left their crew behind Now they don't pick up when they call, what do you find When you remove the power, the j**els and the honeys? It's mind over matter, crew over money... [Scratch hook: DJ Ak**es] Rakaa: It's mind over matter, crew over money... etc [Verse 2: Professor P] Check it, we're all connected when the record play They said: play your cards right - I gave the whole deck away Playing no games, you gotta choose a rout Can't stay in both lanes, can't say I won't change But what I say behind your back I will say in close range That's the way it goes, ya'll know how the saying goes - strange Things can happen from rapping, no doubt Sometimes I don't wanna talk, just zone out And ask my peeps if I can call them back, but forget to do it I block everything out, except the music But when I'm down I expect them to get me through it This for my family and everyone connected to it Just tryna maintain I left my crew behind Still they picked up when I called and that blew my mind They knew in time they would get a call from me Because it's mind over matter, crew over money...
