Mind Over Matter
ICE-T

It's been a long time since I hit you 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 brother like me

Ride a dope track


'Cause once I hit it with the Vocltone It's mine

Have motherfuckers rushn' 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 really 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


Wondern' what I did? I didn't play myself kid

I respected my fans 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 allown' me to stop the rhyme

Until the whole motherfuckin' book's complete

Then I write on the back of the sheets


I made 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


So you gotta have mind Pale

Like your brother say

Mind over matter


I can drop rhymes in two and threes and fours

I'd 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 courage get out my damn way

'Cause the car I'm in is rollin' full of men

No kids or boys, E got the mac ten

Islam's got the Zulu nation back up

DJ Aladdin's who hooked the fuckin' track up

Syndicate's maken' the move with the ski mask

And I'm house'n the long cash


So now you realize you underestimated 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


I can understand

Mind over matter

I know what it mean

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

Syllable 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 possessed to dance

I'll say I want a million my mind is so deep

I'll be bustin' a check for it next week


Like your brother say

Mind over matter

I know what it mean

Mind over matter
