Mark Sparks - Mind Control lyrics

[Hook: Female singing] You're under my, you're under mind control You know you're lost, don't even try to fight You can't escape, I rule you day and night You're under my, you're under mind control [First Verse] Been in this rap game since '96 Can-I-Bus, also known as Canibus And even though that might seem like a short time I was never known for spitting a short-rhyme I'm known for my ill metaphors and lines And I'm inspired by that little voice inside That says, 'keep a strong mind and don't compromise' Nothing happens before it's time, don't get off of the grind See the game is cold, don't lose control All the glitters ain't gold, you could lose your soul I've been through it before, guess you live and you learn Everyone takes turns getting what they deserve It's like a revolving door as far as Canibus is concerned Please believe it, I'mma get what I earned As far as getting that dough, and everything else in my career goes I'm completely in control, come on [Hook: Female singing] [Canibus] Now don't get it twisted, Canibus ain't getting Jiggy with it I'm just dumbing it down for a minute Went from Jersey to A-T-L, but then I relocated Out to Cali on some one-way sh** Bought a cheap ticket and split, I'm in coach sitting next to this chick With some real voluptuous lips She asked me if I can help her give her luggage a lift After that, she wouldn't shut up for the rest of the trip She said she thought I looked familiar, but she never caught on I started nodding off, she was talking so long Put my headphones on, then I went to sleep Reclined the seat, thought about rhymes and beats I thought about how I spent so much time in the East And how my mind was never in peace In the streets, if you want to that yellow-brick road Paved with gold, you just gotta take control, come on [Hook: Female singing] [Canibus] I stepped off the plane, never want to sit in coach again I can't deal with the neck-pain Seen some guy holding up a sign with my name What's up my main-man, where's baggage claim' Took the elevator, I was physically drained The chick from the plane said, 'bye,' and started to wave Man, I'm just happy to be in L.A Got my release papers from Universal/M.C.A Now it's time to get that real paper, shake off the haters They can't break us, we're Gladiators World famous, my name is on the mind of all of the majors Canibus is outrageous Fans sing along when I perform on stages Or when they hear my songs on they two-way pagers They can't front, cause I broke the mold And took a little time, but now I'm in control (Female vocalizes the harmony until fade)
