[Maestro Fresh Wes]
Yeah, going out to all my peoples, you know what I`m saying
Now move to a higher level, I`m sprint
First I inhale, then I exhale Allah`s name
You never see me pointing to the next male
Never seen me judge my cuz, I`d rthter show love
`Cause poverty`s got a grudge and the grudge won`t budge
But nigga`s gotta do what a nigga`s gotta do
What`s nigga gotta do to make dough and watch the zeros grow
I`m working hard, I make a beat I make a rhyme
Trying to make a dime, black man change your state of mind
PEACE! to PE, BDP and X-Clan when I give a pound
It`s never with my left hand
Styles are living long, you know my word is bond
`Cause my rhymes are cock strong
Like the fruit of Islam, word to God yo
Times is hard yo
I`m just a regular brother coming straight out of Scarborough
Fresh Wes`ll never perpetrate and be a gun man
That shit`ll be funny like Aaron Hall catching a suntan
I just be myself, maintain my health
Concetrate on my wealth, `cause you know I go for delf
G-O-D`s the only one who dictates
And before I plant seeds you know I got to get my shit straihgt
Concrete jungle`s could trample
A little nigga without a father figure, or an example to follow
Young minds are getting swallowed by the devil
We got to help the youth, elevate to a higher level
CHORUS [Maestro Fresh Wes]
No shackles on my mind, no shackles on my mind, no shackles on my mind
I ain`t blind, I know the time
No shackles on my mind, no shackles on my mind, no shackles on my mind
I ain`t blind, I know the time
[Maestro Fresh Wes]
Check it
I made a record hitting hard like a wall
I say without togetherness we got nothing at all
Progess will stall, the blackman will fall
And if you don`t believe me, check the Final Call
I`m getting bolder `cause I`m getting older
Some say I told ya, I known he had a chip on his shoulder
Nah, I love my people like a passion
Give me the opportunity, I write about unity
The community will prosper, or should I say grow
When brothers and sisters know the right way to go
I make beats and I`m all about peace
Refuge is what I seek from anxiety and grief
My mind stays focused, my vision stays clear
I concentrate on my career, successs is near when I say my prayers
I take a deep breath, I`m tired of being oppressed
I always try my best, Fresh Wes won`t stress
I`m sharper than a shank, rhyme`s heavy like a tank
I want to put my money in a blackman`s bank
Point blank, I even met Queen Elizabeth
(You didn`t bow did you Maestro?)
Money don`t be ridiculous
That`s some silly shit, you know she ain`t significant
I only got to bow to Allah the magnificant
Through bass and treble, I never back peddle
Side step the devil and move to a higher level
We be living in darkness X3
