[maestro fresh wes]

Yeahgoing out to all my peoplesyou know what I'm saying

Now move to a higher levelI'm sprint

First I inhalethen I exhale allah's name

You never see me pointing to the next male

Never seen me judge my cuzI'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 hardI make a beat I make a rhyme

Trying to make a dimeblack man change your state of mind

Peace! to pebdp and x-clan when I give a pound

It's never with my left hand

Styles are living longyou know my word is bond

'cause my rhymes are cock strong

Like the fruit of islamword 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 myselfmaintain 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 figureor an example to follow

Young minds are getting swallowed by the devil

We got to help the youthelevate to a higher level



Chorus [maestro fresh wes]

No shackles on my mindno shackles on my mindno shackles on my mind

I ain't blindI know the time

No shackles on my mindno shackles on my mindno shackles on my mind

I ain't blindI 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 stallthe blackman will fall

And if you don't believe mecheck the final call

I'm getting bolder 'cause I'm getting older

Some say I told yaI known he had a chip on his shoulder

NahI love my people like a passion

Give me the opportunityI write about unity

The community will prosperor 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 focusedmy vision stays clear

I concentrate on my careersuccesss is near when I say my prayers

I take a deep breathI'm tired of being oppressed

I always try my bestfresh wes won't stress

I'm sharper than a shankrhyme's heavy like a tank

I want to put my money in a blackman's bank

Point blankI even met queen elizabeth

(you didn't bow did you maestro? )

Money don't be ridiculous

That's some silly shityou know she ain't significant

I only got to bow to allah the magnificant

Through bass and trebleI never back peddle

Side step the devil and move to a higher level
