INTRO [C 4: talking]
 Woo Wee. It's hotter than Sudan up in here. W.C.H.U.C.K. radio. We stay
 in ya everyday  all day. Next up on the high power play rotation list
 Shades of Culture  S.O.C. featuring C 4  carnivorous crudy click cartel
 with the remix.

 [D Shade]
 I really hate to keep the static off my mindstate
 Make my escape and seperate from all the dead weight
 I break like awol(?) through walls of obstacles
 And stab the mind that's evil like needles in voodoo dolls
 Keep sharpening my ways of thinking to keep the ship from sinking
 Family link is more precius than golden lincolns
 Some make material objects the focus of their quests
 While I search for knowledge, third eye will never rest
 I bless the mic with niceness and flex the mental like biceps
 Y'all will collapse from stress if you're not taking the right steps
 Insure your position in this hip-hop mission
 In general it's hard to realize what we envision
 Put total dedication into my occupation
 With total concentration I will wreck any location
 And captivate the masses with these rhymes that I generate
 Move like contra band over the borders of your mindstate

 CHORUS: C-4
 My mindstate stays strictly on the chedder
 In all of these things that can make my life better
 The rhyme be on point down to the last letter
 C-4 and S.O.C. now we talking a double header
 My mindstate stays strictly on the chedder
 In all of these things that can make my life better
 The rhyme be on point down to the last letter
 C-4 and S.O.C. now we talking a double header

 [Revolution]
 I'm over your head like high wire
 I'll make you sweet, I mean sweat just like Chris Spier
 I'll sit back and read Allen Poe
 Whole bunch of MCs still talk about how to cap a ho
 It's all apro-pro inappropriate to create shit while the corporates
 annihillate
 I wake late with the cold sweats
 Throw on the ??? and the blues and the puma sweats
 I want to peep the happenings in my borough
 I wipe my fr-ow and walk over to the window
 Then I evaporate like methanol inside my central mental
 Mindstate, sharp to penetrate you left ventricle
 Like cupid's arrows to sparrows you're in trouble
 Without Hubble you can't focus upon Shade Of Culture's bone marrow
 Now your gasping, spazims and the chazims
 Open up to expose your final place of repose

 CHORUS

 [Revolution]
 Dive into the depths of the mindstate
 To phatoms you can't fathom, foes and friends get the bends
 Nitrogen enriched blood creating hallucinating
 Check the dread he's got it in his head
 [D-Shade]
 I got lots on my mind, thoughts shine like diamond mines
 'Bout the brothers with the nines and how I'll make a dime
 I'm not trying to see lockdown in this world like Alcatraz
 But with every step you take, problems follow that as...
 [Revolution]
 Complex shit get figured out like trigonometry
 Politics is like instant lobotomy
 It's all in your own mind, check your bookshelf
 It's full of knowledge and knowledge is true wealth
 [D-Shade]
 This goes out to all the people struggling
 Me and my crew be huddlin' and making sure we ain't stumbling
 Without sure footedness you get lost in the abyss
 That's why mindstate will always be at its sharpest

 CHORUS x2
