Rightstarter message To A Black Man Lyrics

    Ridenhour - shocklee

    Mind over matter - mouth in motion
    Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
    Let's start this
    Right

    You spend a buck in the 80's - whatcha you get is a preacher
    Forgivin' this torture of the system that brought 'cha
    I'm on a mission and you got that right
    Addin' fuel to the fire - punch to the fight
    Many have forgotten what we came here for
    Never knew or had a clue - so you're on the floor
    Just growin not knowin about your past
    Now you're lookin' pretty stupid while you're shakin' your ass

    Mind over matter - mouth in motion
    Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
    Let's start this
    Right

    Some people fear me when i talk this way
    Some come near me - some run away
    Some people take heed to every word i say
    Some wanna build a posse - some stay away
    Some people think that we plan to fail
    Wonder why we go under or we go to jail
    Some ask us why we act the way we act
    Without lookin' how long they kept us back

    Mind over matter - mouth in motion
    Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
    Let's start this
    Right

    Yes you if i bore you - i won't ignore you
    I'm sayin things that they say i'm not supposed to
    Give you pride that you may not find
    If you're blind about your past then i'll point behind
    Kings, queens, warriors, lovers
    People proud - sisters and brothers
    Their biggest fear - suckers get tears
    When we can top their best idea

    Mind over matter - mouth in motion
    Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
    Let's start this
    Right

    Mind revolution - our solution
    Mind over matter - mouth in motion
    Corners don't sell it - no you can't buy it
    Defy cause i'll never be quiet
    Let's start this
    Right

    Our solution - mind revolution
    Can't sell it - no you can't buy it in a potion
    You lie about the life that you wanted to try
    Tellin' me about a head - you decided to fly
    Another brother with the same woes that you face
    But you shot with the same hands - you fall from grace
    Every brother should be every brother's keeper
    But you shot with your left while your right was on your beeper

    Mind over matter - mouth in motion
    Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
    Let's start this
    Right

    As the world turns - it's a terrible waste
    To see the stupid look stuck on your face
    Timebomb alarm for the world - just try it
    Known to all zones as the one man riot
    I'm on a mission to set you straight
    Children - it's not too late
    Explain to the world when it's plain to see
    To be what the world doesn't want us to be

    Mind over matter - mouth in motion
    Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
    Let's start this
    Right
