Mental (feat. Saul Williams & Bridget Perez)

It's all in your mental

It's all in your mental

It's all in your mental (Yeah)

Let me take you higher than herbalists climbin' tree tops

This is not rap, my ****, this more like bebop

Class of Freddy Hubbard, these words are uttered like dairy cattle

Makin' sure the rain last forever, I'm slip-less in Seattle

Foot to gravel, I travel across the nation for ages

Even as I start to get older, this music is bathin'

Inside the fountain of youth, surroundin' the booth is water

My mind is flooded with these flows, so get the recorder

My mental state is, "Whatever happens, happen"

Yeah, I'm makin' it happen rappin'

If I was back in the '40s, I would've been gassin', scattin'

Different practice created a different habit for passion

I find it harder to make an action, yet—

It's all in your mental (It's all in my mind, but I'ma feel fine once I'm meltin' my eyes, because—)

It's all in your mental (It's all in my mind, but I'ma feel fine once I'm meltin' my eyes, because—)

It's all in your mental (It's all in my mind, but I'ma feel fine once I'm meltin' my eyes, because—)

It's all in your mental (It's all in my mind, but I'ma feel fine once I'm meltin' my eyes because it's all in my—)

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Born of the resistance that birthed me

Made music of everything

Is somebody recording these cries?

Bodies blown through concrete, nobody based in that

Bombs, buildings crumbling

Repetitive gunfire got bass in it, but the cries drowned it out

Sampled bomb blast in the Pacific and let it run to the earthquake on the other side, looped it

Below screams was fire

Harpoons and everything

Radiation make it sound analog

Needed somethin' death could dance to

Changed my whole style up, so used to the slickness

Sorrow streamlined into story

Dancing alone in front of speakers my whole life
