Papoose - Mind Body & Soul lyrics

(Intro) Put it on the line Lets go Yea, before you can help somebody Man you gotta help yourself It's called self-preservation Got this sh** down to a science man Check it out (Chorus) Mind body and soul Mind--he can control you mentally Body--he can tell you what to do physically Soul--only god control you spirutally So you bust guns smoke weed drink hennessy Mirror mirror on the wall Take a look at him vividly You lookin at your own worst enemy Put it on the line (Verse 1) When you alone, everybody talk to theyself Sometimes its the only way to get across to yourself You ever wanted to do somethin but thought to yourself Or didn't wanna do somethin but forcin yourself You ever did somethin good and been glad for yourself Or did somethin f**ked up so you mad at yourself Thought about somethin funny and laughed to yourself Or kept that to yourself You ever met another person Who reminded you in the past of yourself Why y'all so much alike you askin yourself Y'all so much alike y'all clash cause it felt Like he was tryin to be you when he act like himself Really deep down inside you mad at yourself Pull the gun and blast at him you blast at yourself Ever knew somethin was true and then nodded to yourself Cause you can't take the truth stop lyin to yourself (Chorus) (Verse 2) Its like the mind fight the heart Some n***as mind so sharp, they fight what they feel And do the wise thing they so smart But other n***as do whats in their heart React off emotions they black out and get so dark They hold it in and never talk But get old and die of heart attacks They get attacked by their own heart Some n***as get too conceited and fill theirself Try to be somethin they're not but reveal theirself Some n***as get insecure they grill theirself Put a gun to their own head and k** theirself You ever found yourself lookin out for everybody else So much that you don't look out for yourself If you a stick up kid then 'red drug deal and blue' A rapper with a mic salesman with a shoe Don't let nothin get in your way just do what you do Cause the only person that can stop you is you (Chorus) (Verse 3) Thats why i say who am i You say what a stupid question but who am i Think before you start talkin You forgettin where you came from Remind yourself Life is like a dictionary Define yourself Are you a gangsta Well lets define that word I'ma try but it takes action to describe that word A gangsta takes care of family he's never afraid d**h before disrespect a gangsta is brave Are you a thug Its like a gangsta but more gully Money before b**hes and honor before money You a baller Then you cop a house before a car Fortune before fasion play monopoly y'all Are you a rapper Then you must invent those songs They dont gotta like you But they gonna respect your boss I named my son papoose He reflectin me But he way better than me Man controls his destiny (Chorus)
