Ease My Mind - Arrested Development

Thrusted in a world that I don’t know

From my mamas lips between my mamas hips

I’m cuddled by her hands because she understands

It’s that bond that keeps the movement movin' on

Life is surrounded with so many insecurities

Back stabbin' is like breathing when in poverty

I try to make my sanity, with the insane

God is secondary to most, when they scrap for money

But, then again money can cause even more death

When a African becomes a nigga step n fetch n all

I dare say when price is right U can buy us all

Well not me, cuz I don’t truly give a care about you

I’ll move in poverty, in wealth but I’ll surely move!

Ain’t syncopated with your beats or your wack grooves

My break beat is to break away from yo thang

All these things you put on me makes this brother sing…

I need some time to ease my mind

Mind & soul is even more important then body

Money can put my body in all exotic spaces

Meanwhile my mind & soul remotely dwells

Within that fine spot between all messed up & hell

And so I move on with confidence of harmony

And do my thang to resist this wack society

Cuz if you don’t resist, & I mean consciously

You’ll fool your sub-conscious into accepting it

I ain’t acceptin' it — I keep my focus

I keep my focus — I ain’t acceptin’it

Give me a face pencil to draw a smile on me

Answer my prayer to give my Earthly body inner peace

Answer my prayer to give my Earthly

Body

Inner

Inner peace

Until that day upon which my souls released!

Need some time need some time

When the sista’s say it then you know it’s gotta be real!

Thrusted in a world that I don’t know

From my mommas lips between my mamas hips

I’m cuddled by her hands because she understands

It’s that bond that will keep the movement movin' on

It’s that bond that will keep the movement movin' on

And so I GOTTA BE READY TO RELINQUISH

Gotta be ready to relinquish, my breath of life for struggle

That is why I tell you…

I need some time to ease my mind
