[00:20.82]Since I hit you with freestyle [00:22.17]High tech selections [00:23.20]From the vaults of the Ice files [00:24.89]Kick back relax [00:25.67]And watch as I melt wax [00:27.21]Don't ever let a brother like me [00:28.58]Ride a d**e track [00:29.97]Cause once I hit it with the vocal tone [00:31.60]It's mine have motherf**kers [00:33.23]Rushing to rewind [00:34.62]Cause I'll flow slow

same suckers [00:57.60]Are now looking from under me [00:59.29]Wondering what I did [01:00.52]I didn't play myself kid [01:02.10]I respected my fans [01:03.13]And made the high bid [01:04.36]Sometimes I write my rhymes [01:05.73]At night and fall asleep [01:07.85]Wake up with new techniques [01:09.50]Grab the pen [01:10.31]And place it on some loose leaf [01:12.01]Nothing soft always the tough meat [01:14.35]The white paper and [01:15.42]Blue lines excite my mind [01:16.84]Not allowing me to stop the rhyme [01:19.07]Until the whole motherf**king [01:20.39]Book's complete [01:21.91]Then I write on the [01:22.64]Back of the sheets [01:24.14]I made a promise [01:24.95]To my brothers in street crime [01:26.93]We'd get paid with the use [01:27.82]Of a sweet rhyme [01:29.13]We put our minds together [01:30.37]Made the tracks clever [01:31.74]Now we're checking [01:32.35]More bank than ever [01:33.53]Mind over matter [01:34.84]So you gotta have mind power like the fellas say [01:38.17]Mind over matter [01:40.22]Mind power [01:43.89]I can drop rhymes in twos [01:45.24]And threes and fours [01:46.78]And still have much sh*t [01:47.42]Left for encores [01:48.51]Cause once my mind locks [01:49.87]In on a d**e idea [01:51.74]Motherf**king ducks [01:52.88]Should stand clear [01:53.96]Cause I'm a hit the topic point blank [01:56.48]It's jail ya better keep your shank
