Mind In The Frame

Open your mind
Read between the lines
I believe anything's possible
You ever seen the sun rise at 12 midnight
I got this picture formed in my mind
The day never began at 12:01
And I don't think it ever ended at 11:59
The shine
Verbalize the thoughts like mine
Cross the line
I'm ready to face the world
Show me the papers, let me sign
Hold me back at your own risk
I may not be sophisticated
But at least I'm precise in where I'm going
Knowledge is power, we take incredible steps
Man's been on the moon
I'm almost done with paying off debts
We invented television sets and cassettes
I'm constantly disagreeing with people that I met
I never smoke cigarettes
You ain't seen nothing yet
Every day's a game equivalent to Russian roulette
You bet I got this whole scenario sussed
Exchanging cash for goods
Hey, I don't need your trust
I mean, how can I trust you when I don't trust myself
Don't worry about me, just worry about yourself
I rise like the sun, like the night, like the moon
Something's bound to give way
I'm bound to give way soon
I presume you understand your mission in life
Accept the challenge, be a man, you can survive
The rougher the better, I carry no vendetta
Get a education and be mentally stronger, physically fitter
You're looking healthier already
Are you ready for the time of your life, it's kinda heavy
Don't question me, don't ask me what I am or where's my family
Don't harass me unless you wanna see the animal in me
I ain't blind, I can see through your mind
Read between the lines, you're a shark without a spine
It's time to raise the self-esteem, begin the climb
If I say it's gonna be mine, it's gonna be mine
Knowledge is power
Information is food for the brain
There's much to gain
So let it rain, let it rain
Keep your eyes open
Keep your mind in the frame
Soon as the lights go down
My eyes close, my imagination works overtime
Will it be hell in 99
Furthermore my mind's on the journey that's before me
It's been a stressful year and there's nothing you can show me
That I ain't seen already in my dreams and nightmares
Either you're out of your mind or you're brave, nobody cares
A whisper in the dark, a voice calm and angelic
Delivers a message telling me to keep my cool
Let it be 'cause whatever will be will be
Will be delivered for me but focus on being an MC
If it hurts, it's bound to instruct
If you're corrupt, one of these days you'll be running out of luck
You ain't going in no direction but down
Am I crazy or simply playing safe or profound
It sounds like the devil when the president talks
And looks like they're already in hell in New York
No sweet talking when it's time to get the stage warm
In the wilderness I conjure up a storm
Theoretical exhibitionism carries no weight
The temperature's unbalanced and nothing is as straight-
Forward as it used to be way back when
We used to be boys, now we turned to men
With children of our own to fend for, send for
Somebody to end the war, what you fighting for
That information is classified
The situation will never be clarified
Access denied
Peace and tranquility is possible to gain
Depending on my abilities as a lyricist
I never cared about being the cleverest or seeing Mount Everest
Live in the flesh for the rock
People flock from everywhere
Unaware what's about to happen when the millennium ends
Watch your friends, it's too late for making amends
Many reckon that 1999 is when the world ends
What do you reckon, you're an expert at playing Tekken
But guess what, it just takes a second
And poof, you're gone
But life goes on
I feel out of place kinda like I don't belong
Human progress is the reason for this mess
Will we survive the test or is it gonna turn to madness
First of January all will manifest
Second of January you can put your mind to rest
We've been suppressed too long, way too long
Is it really the end or will the world go on
Knowledge is power
Information is food for the brain
There's much to gain
So let it rain, let it rain
Keep your eyes open
Keep your mind in the frame
Keep your mind open
Read between the lines
Keep your mind open
Read between the lines
Keep your eyes open
Read between the lines
Keep your eyes open
Keep your mind open
Read between the lines
