Lyrics

CHORUS
Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
The rhythms of the mind
Got your heartbeat racin’
Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
Free yourself of limits
Never stop to place ‘em

Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
The music of the mind
Got your heartbeat racin’
Said it’s a chronic intoxication
Free yourself of limits
So you’ll never stop

VERSE 1
This reminds me of old times
The mind is a terrible thing
I never thought that I would rise to be a lyrical king
But yo to everyone’s surprise I’m alive and kickin’
Got a voyeuristic mind I gotta watch what I’m thinkin’
My reflections are eternal
Talib told me once in a song
Might as well have been a gift from the gods
There’s certain lessons that I’m takin to the grave
Yo, enough of it all, give me the ball
Let me take it to the paint
I don’t feel any pain
I won’t suffer defeat
The word is on the street
That you worried ‘bout Nieve
The world is at his feet
That one-two that you had to run through
Put you in a coma
You can’t come-to
Look at what you done to
Me
Turned me from an everyday beauty
To a modern day beast
Yo they called it a disease
I say it’s from the earth
So I breathe, let me be
Yo, you know what it be

CHORUS
Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
The rhythms of the mind
Got your heartbeat racin’
Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
Free yourself of limits
Never stop to place ‘em

Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
The music of the mind
Got your heartbeat racin’
Said it’s a chronic intoxication
Free yourself of limits
So you’ll never stop

VERSE 2
I’m livin’ quicker than the grace note
Race through the wrinkles in time
My blurry vision keeps me blind from a beautiful mind
I can’t capture any words along my way throughout this chapter
So trapped behind the back page
Cascades
of past ways
And young thoughts
We used to have those big smiles, we were still so many miles
from a broken heart
But nowadays, we never think about the change
we only know who we’ve became
really ain’t the same
I remember all those red brick buildings on the corner
Used to stop the traffic while we held the microphone up,
Although it was a phony, our cuffed hands and our tight fists
made believe that a microphone exists
We would spit until the daylight drop
philosophize about our day
Contemplated on the way to the park
The way to the dark was easy homie,
Sit and relax
To find the light though is really the task
Puff and pass

CHORUS
Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
The rhythms of the mind
Got your heartbeat racin’
Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
Free yourself of limits
Never stop to place ‘em

Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
The music of the mind
Got your heartbeat racin’
Said it’s a chronic intoxication
Free yourself of limits
So you’ll never stop

VERSE 3
I need a little bit more
Won’t get rid of it all
I need some so I can fly
Get so high I can soar
I do it while I record
to make magic out of nothing at all
Eight matches until one of ‘em fall
I shake the ashes from my cigarette off
What’s inside, it ain’t a secret
Come and take a look, you get excited when you see it
Yo I write it like I mean it 'cause I live what I say
One hit will get you lifted away
Let’s take a different way
From what the others in the world might choose
If we follow all the moves then we all might lose
I’ll explore a different path in my all white shoes
And leave tracks for some all right moves
I put myself out
on all my tunes
and you can feel me if you listen
Flippin’ up my style like I’m changin’ my position
I’ll continue on my mission till the list complete
Burn the bitterness of life through my swisher sweet
