Nk Chinedu - The Mind Governs Lyrics

What you think you will become
Forces up above had a plan to pollute so they struck when we were young
We were wild, we were crazy, we were young and we were dumb
So we thought it would be cool to handle shanks and handle guns
We was... young misfits always on the run
Never indoors most times never saw our mum's
She was doing nights
And if she wasn't she was at the yard over stressed while she prays for her son
Listen we were sold a dream
Music video... guys like us with the props bad b's and the gleam
I was sold before a teen
But only when we got to older years of teenage life that we could break free
Free to rebel against our dads and our mum's
Society corrupts guess I should have been a nun
Yh I know bad joke so what who cares
I ain't scared to die... grab your gun who's scared

The mind governs... Don't be silly and think it doesn't
I was pushing weight had beef with couple cousin's
Devil in my head and it's late... Ain't no food on my plate
Friend or foe? I don't know... So should I trust em
The mind governs... Don't be silly and think it doesn't
I was pushing weight had beef with couple cousin's
Devil in my head and it's late... Ain't no food on my plate
Friend or foe? I don't know... So should I trust em

Confusion and Hurt
Black on black crime is at an all time high it took a turn for the worst
They don't even need to come with whips or the chains
Cause my brother's killing brothers over whips and the chains
That's strange... So why are we driven
To push weight and stab man... Get dashed in a prison
Psychological warfare methods ain't hidden
Listen closely let me drop it on you like pigeons
Good luck... only a bit of what we need
Hard to express every feeling on our knees
Feel as if the father wouldn't see you past the greed
Power in his fingers as he's puffing on the weed
Lost in the smoke
What made him think that weed is a necessity for life
When you're down and cannot cope
The street life's a joke
Mummy wouldn't even think to have you if she knew
That you'd be living just for jokes

The mind governs... Don't be silly and think it doesn't
I was pushing weight had beef with couple cousin's
Devil in my head and it's late... Ain't no food on my plate
Friend or foe? I don't know... So should I trust em
The mind governs... Don't be silly and think it doesn't
I was pushing weight had beef with couple cousin's
Devil in my head and it's late... Ain't no food on my plate
Friend or foe? I don't know... So should I trust em

You need real ones around you... for support
Loved ones who really wanna help
I been battling anxiety and depression for a minute
Take it from me when I say it can be hell
Health is wealth
Careful what you're letting in your vessel and be careful with the people that you tell
Humans are sneaky... but I get it
Some of them just wanna see you fail

The mind governs... don't be silly and think it doesn't
I was pushing weight had beef with couple cousin's
