Face changes / Free Your Mind.

 i know that something is wrong here,

i can feel it but no one believes me. 

i know that something is strange here,

i can sense it but no one believes me.

We face changes everyday. 

Some good, some for the worse. 

Faces change everyday, 

Don't know who's really with you until the hearse. 

The news say, one thousand one hundred and thirty four black men die every year. 

By gun shots, from weak cops that live to see black moms in tears. 

And love to see the black community in fear. 

But we don't fear. 

We rise up. 

It's reasons like this why some of my people got a 9 tucked. 

Because we're fearing for our lives;

Can't even walk outside or drive.

We just wanna be free....

• • • 

Free your mind. 

Release the binds and unwind. 

Break out of that mental prison; 

Take the time to make the right decisions. 

What do you want out of life? 

Stop announcing your plans.

Are you listening to yourself doubt,

Or taking advice from your mans? 

We all blame each other for the problems we cause. 

However, if you just think deep inside of yourselves we'll resolve, that. 

Your own worse enemy is you. 

So the moment we figure that out, 

We got the root, of our problems. 

Watch out who you hang with;

Do they inspire or manipulate? 

Are you a shoulda, woulda, coulda, type of person? A lost sheep in the crowd, the type that just rides the waves. 

Make your own.

Lest you become a clone, just like the great nation we live in. 

I call it home, but it's sad; that it's also like a prison. 

Are you reliant on others' judgement, looking outside of yourself?

Where the answers are scattered around, and you're stuck asking for help. 

Or do you seek self relevancy ?

Searching deep in your mind;

Maybe you do know what I know; 

That you can't replace time. 

Free your mind.
