Lyrics Mind Over Matter - Ice-T

It's been a long time
Since I hit ya with freestyle
High tech selections
From the vaults of the Ice files
Kick back relax
And watch as I melt wax
Don't ever let a borther llike me
Ride a dope track
'Cause once I hit it with the vocltone
It's mine, have motherfuckers
Rush'n to rewind
'Cause I'll flow slow
And still twist your tongues up
Rock the house from night
'Till the sun's up
'Cause it relly ain't
How much you say
It's what you say
I got no fuckin' time on the mic
To play
I write rhymes
With addition and algebra
Mental geometry
Don't even come at me
Talk'n that weak and
Popin' that bullshit
Get out my face
A fool could get his head split
A lot of doubters
Said it couldn't be done by me
Them same suckers
Are now lookin' from under me
Wonder'n what i did
I didn't play myself kid
I respected my faans
And made the high bid
Sometimes I write my rhymes
At night and fall asleep
Wake up with new techniques
Grab the pen
And place it on some loose leaf
Nothin' soft, always the tough meat
The white paper and
Blue lines excite my mind
Not allow'n me to stop the rhyme
Until the whole motherfuckin'
Book's complete
Then I write on the
Back of the sheets
I maade promise
To my brothers in street crime
We'd get paid with the use
Of a sweet rhyme
We put our minds together
Made the tracks clever
Now we're checkin'
More bank than ever
Mind over matter
Mind over matter
I can drop rhymes in twos
And threes and fours
And still have much shit left for encores
'Cause once my mind locks
In on a dope idea
Mothercukin' ducks should stand clear
'Cause I'm a hit the topic point blank
It's jail ya better keep your shank
'Cause I got mine and I'm out on a solo creep
Your face hits the concrete
You wanna roll with the niggas that don't play
I think you got false courge
Get out my damn way
'Cause the car I'm in is rollin' full of men
No kids or boys, E got the Mac 10
Islam's got the Zulu Nation back up
DJ Aladdin's who hooked the fuckin' track up
Syndicate's make'n the move
With the ski masks
And I'm house'n the long cash
So now you realize
You underestimated me, the Ice
You thought that I was ok
But now you realize I'm nice
But that's alright
'Cause I knew I'd make it in the end
Those who like me now
Might not of liked me then
But I'm a keep impressin'
Stressin' my lesson
And keep motherfuckers guessin'
Armor plate my mind
With walls and shields
As I escape from the killing fields
Mind over matter
Mind over matter
Mind over matter
Mind over matter
Wise up, move the tempo of this hype groove
You know this shit is dope
So what you try'n to prove
Vu's max as Evil E
My niggaa dogs the wax
My brain's a handgrenade-catch
I'm a hit you with an over load
Of bottomless thought
Reversin' all the shit you're taught
Then throw words at you
Syl-la-ble-at-a-time
Your brain recites the rhyme
No matter what you do, the power's over you
When you sleep
You'll be say'n these rhymes too
'Cause the brain has the power to control all
Think positive you'll be unable to fall
Brain cells swell thought process becomes a trance
Makes you feel posessed to dance
I'll say I want a million
My mind is so deep
I'll be bustin' a check for it next week
Mind over matter
Mind over matter
