[Intro - Fresh Sly / (BigNanaT)]:
The mind sees, the mind hears,
(You gotta free yo' mind)
the rest is blind and deaf.
(Free yo' mind, don't be blind)
I know many of those pretended champions for freedom in my time,
(Step off the chains)
but I don't remember one that wasn't in his
heart and in his family a slave.
(Never, never be blind)
Even though some slaves can't definitely free their arms
and legs from chains,
(Free yo' mind)
but are Gods for their friends
(Spread your wings)
because of a free mind
(And fly)...
[Verse 1 - Doc]:
Let me free my mind cuz I'm about to explode -
Time brought me to the funk mode, the road to the dope
State of thoughts I'm in, expressed by my deep words,
Occured from the street curse, when the shit get worse,
Because life doesn't consist only from opened doors
I gots to get my keys, ya gots to get yours,
So free your mind, before you get locked down in reality
To reach the quality of your new-found menthality -
Otherwise you won't know how to handle ya life
Problems gettin' bitter then a muthafuckin' lime.
You get stuck from the beginning, lookin' for a solution,
Homies let you know about your rights and such, like constitution,
Everybody's tellin' ya what to do and how to act,
But you can take these decisions right by yourself,
So don't get influenced by ones who chose to be blind -
Keep your balance in sight, express yourself and free yo' mind.
[Chorus]: (x2)
*samples*
"Free your mind and your ass will follow"
"Free your mind!"
"Free your mind and your ass...", "free your mind and your ass..."
"Free your mind", "...and your ass will follow"
[Verse 2 - BigNanaT]:
Who are you when you are what you have and then lose what you had?
Free yo' mind and let these words penetrate into your head.
Instead of blings and cars, bills and material things
Makin' you blind, thinkin' only 'bout pocket and business.
With every wingflappin' you get farther from the ground,
Closer to the sun, keep it ballanced, otherwise you'll crush down,
And if you can't control yourself, you should think about it,
But I pretend it's too late, or maybe you're too distracted.
If you consider my question logically you should see the biggest danger
Is to becomin' what you have and not to lose what you had, stranger.
Losses give chances to understand you're actin' wrong,
I know the pain inside hurts, but it makes you damn strong.
One day I woke up and recognized: my mind is free,
Dolls controlin' the outside world but they will never control me.
I'm livin like it was givin', destroyin' or rebuildin' with my feelings,
Someone name it brainstormin', other call it mind-healin'
[Chorus]
