Текст песни Crowd Mentality (feat. Uche) - Uche , M.I. Abaga

Now we're gonna talk about something serious
Yo! M.I.
Yo! Chocolate City
Yo! Rythchus Era

If you don't have a mind of your own
Don't be disappointed, this is fine, be a clone
Listen to me rhyme, I'm done trying to be mine all alone
And to make things connect like a spine to a bone
I've changed my mind, I would rather be the same as
All these fake (yeah) entertainers
Make bad music just to rock in arenas
Use words like (no bad language on radio)

'Cause I tried hard to make the difference
Make the kind of music you can use as reference
Everybody else say let's dance
Who am I to tell them otherwise? That's a job for Reverends
So I'm ready now to join the movement
Together press for negative improvement
Everybody unite
To forever end the search for life

So when I say jump (jump)
Everybody in the place dance (dance)
Everybody in the place move (move)
Everybody in the world just scream, scream, scream
When I say jump (jump)
Everybody in the place dance (dance)
Everybody in the place move (move)
Everybody in the whole world stop (scream, huh-oh)

If you don't have a mind for yourself
Don't be disappointed, this is good for your health
It's the road to riches and to diamonds and wealth
Redesigned it myself
So all black people, put your mind on your shelf
It's okay to be poor, be needy
Better yet still care for more, be greedy
Everybody get miseducated
Be lazy, fat, stupid with your mind sedated

No matter how many songs I sing about truth
Honesty, it'll never change a thing
I just wanna be rich and famous
The world is screaming out, "Please, entertain us"
Yo, the whole world is glass or plastic
It's split like refraction, need action drastic
So forgive me, I'm a tad sarcastic
These venomous lyrics on my lips like chopsticks

So when I say sit (sit)
Everybody in the place stand (stand)
Everybody in the place jump (jump)
Everybody in the place scream, scream, scream
When I say sit (sit)
Everybody in the place stand (stand)
Everybody in the world just jump (jump)
Everybody in the world be yourself, be yourself, be yourself

Yeah, break it down, break it down, break it down
Yeah, break it down, break it down, break it
Yeah, break it down, break it down, break it (here we go)

Yo, see the moral of this song is
There are people walking around just like zombies
And it's so strange, how people are afraid of change
Afraid of what would happen if we re-arrange
So most Black people are just doing what the crowd do
Doing what the system say, that we're allowed to
So break free from the crowd mentality
And then we can start to build a new reality

(Now you've got to know) so come on everybody in the place fly (and you've got to know)
Everybody in the place, dream (and you've got to know)
Everybody in the place, be yourself, be yourself, be yourself (who you are)
(Said, you've got to know) when I say shine, shine
Everybody in the place fly, fly (now you've got to know)
Everybody in the place dream, dream (said, you've got to know)
Everybody in the place, be yourself (who you are)

When I say sing (sing)
Everybody in the place speak (speak)
Everybody in the place c'mon shout (shout)
Everybody in the place be yourself, be yourself, be yourself
When I say sing (sing)
Everybody in the place speak (speak)
Everybody in the place shout (shout)
Everybody in the place be yourself, be yourself, be yourself

Be yourself, yo!
Be black
Be beautiful
Be strong
Be correct
Be nice
Be good
Be right

Be tight
Be alright
Be creative
Be native
Be real
Have skills
Stand tall
And be all you can be

Now you've got to know
Said you've got to know
Now you've got to know who you are
Now you've got to know
Yeah, you've got to know
Said you've got to know
(And that's all I have to say about that)
