Mind Over Matter

Ice T

It's been a long while

Since I hit ya with freestyle

High tech selections

From the vaults of the Ice files

Kick back relax

And watch as I melt wax

Don't ever let a borther llike me

Ride a dope track

Cause once I hit it with the vocltone

It's mine have motherfuckers

Rush'n to rewind

Cause I'll flow slow

And still twist your tongues up

Rock the house from night

Till the sun's up

Cause it relly ain't

How much you say

it's what you sy

I got no fuckin' time on the mic

To play

I write rhymes

With addition and algebra

Mental geometry

Don't even come at me

Talk'n that weak and

Popin' that bullshit

Get out my face

A fool could get his head split

A lot of doubters

Said it couldn't be done by me

them same suckers

Are now lookin' from under me

Wonder'n what i did

I didn't play myself kid

I respected my faans

And made the high bid

Sometimes I write my rhymes

At night and fall asleep

Wake up with new techniques

Grab the pen

And place it on some loose leaf

Nothin' soft, always the tough meat

The white paper and

Blue lines excite my mind

Not allow'n me to stop the rhyme

Until the whole motherfuckin'

Book's complete

Then I write on the

Back of the sheets

I maade promise

To my brothers in street crime

We'd get paid with the use

Of a sweet rhyme

We put our minds together

Made the tracks clever

Now we're checkin'

More bank than ever



CHORUS

Mind over matter



I can drop rhymes in twos,

And threes and fours

nd still have much shit

Left for encores

Cause once my mind locks

In on a dope idea

Mothercukin' ducks

Should stand clear

Cause I'm a hit the topic point blank

It's jail ya better keep your shank

Cause I got mine

And
