Crowd Mentality (feat. Uche)

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)
