[00:30.00]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[00:32.65]The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing
[00:35.10]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[00:38.00]Free yourself of limits, never stop so place up
[00:40.20]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[00:43.00]The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing
[00:45.00]Said that it’s a chronic intoxication
[00:48.00]Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop
[00:50.50]This reminds me of old times, a mind is a terrible thing
[00:53.30]I never thought that I’d rise to be a lyrical king
[00:56.15]But yo to everyone’s surprise I’m alive and kicking
[00:58.75]Got a voyeuristic mind, I gotta watch what I’m thinking
[01:01.40]My reflections are eternal, Kweli told me once in a song
[01:04.25]It might as well have been a gift from the gods
[01:06.30]There’s certain lessons that I’ve taken to the grave
[01:08.45]Yo enough of it all, give me the ball, let me take it to the pain
[01:11.45]I don’t feel any pain, I won’t suffer defeat
[01:14.30]The word is on the street that you worry bout Nieve
[01:16.35]The world is at his feet, that one two that you had to run through
[01:20.00]Put you in a coma, you can’t come to
[01:22.00]Look at what you done to me
[01:24.00]Turned me from an everyday beauty to a modern day beast
[01:27.00]Yo they call it a disease, I say it’s from the earth
[01:29.20]So I breathe, let me be yo you know what it be
[01:32.00]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[01:34.20]The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing
[01:37.00]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[01:39.20]Free yourself of limits, never stop so place up
[01:42.00]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[01:44.35]The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing
[01:47.00]Said that it’s a chronic intoxication
[01:49.45]Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop
[01:52.00]I’m living quicker than the grey snow
[01:53.20]Race through the wrinkles in time
[01:55.20]My blurred vision keeps me blind from a beautiful mind
[01:58.00]I can’t capture any words along my way throughout these chapters
[02:00.50]Trapped behind the back page,cascades of past ways
[02:04.00]And young thoughts, we used to have those big smiles
[02:06.50]We were still so many miles from a broken heart
[02:08.50]But nowadays we never think about the change
[02:11.00]Really know what we’ve became really ain’t the same
[02:13.30]I remember all the spread, big buildings on the corner
[02:16.00]Used to stop the traffic when we held the microphone up
[02:18.50]Although I was a phony, I cuffed hands in a tight fist
[02:21.50]And they believed that a microphone exist
[02:23.50]We would spin till the daylight dropped
[02:25.20]Philosophize about our day, contemplate it on the way to the park
[02:28.50]The wait of the dark is easy, homie, sit and relax
[02:31.50]Find the light though is really the task, puff to that
[02:33.45]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[02:36.00]The rhythms of the mind got your heartbeat racing
[02:38.30]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[02:41.00]Free yourself of limits, never stop so place up
[02:43.30]Yo it’s a chronic intoxication
[02:46.00]The music of the mind got your heartbeat racing
[02:48.20]Said that it’s a chronic intoxication
[02:51.00]Free yourself of limits so you’ll never stop(Yo yo yo)
[02:53.10]I need a little bit more, won’t get rid of it all
[02:56.35]I need some so I can fly, be so high I can soar
[02:58.50]I do it while I record to make magic out of nothing at all
[03:02.00]eight matches until one of them fall
[03:03.70]And shake the ashes from a cigarette off
[03:05.55]And what’s inside it ain’t a secret (nope)
[03:07.00]Come and take a look you get excited when you see it
[03:10.00]Yo I write it like a mean it cause I live what I say
[03:12.00]One hit will get you lifted away, let’s take a different way
[03:15.00]From what the others in the world might choose
[03:17.55]If we follow all the rules then we all might lose
[03:20.00]I’ll explore a different path in my all-white shoes
[03:22.50]And leave tracks for some more white grooves
[03:24.25]I put myself out on all my tunes
[03:26.00]And you can feel me if you listen
[03:27.65]Flipping up my style, I keep changing my position
[03:30.10]I continue on my mission till the list complete
[03:32.45]Burn the bitterness of life through my Swisher Sweet
