You can't beat my mindstate
You can't beat my mindstate
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
Ayo let's skin the ghost
Because the sheets been stained with the ocean
I am the elf to the seven closed closet burned to the Flinstone
Singin in the black man's wish
Figure me zoomed to the outskirts
Slave with the big black sword down in the underbelly
Walk, run, pluck abstinence (to fucking)
The m equals a norm
Timbs made fruit to skills
Tally on tally on tally on
Im not hard
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate
Oh yeah, where we were we be
Where we go? (Yo I got that fat shit)
To make matters worse (yo I got that fat shit)
You got the money in the purse (yo I got that fat shit)
Had to sit down for a while from my style was too heavy to bear (yo I got that fat shit)
For my head to contemplate (yo I got that fat shit)
Went on the blind date (she was a fat shit)
I'm not home
I get gooder than gettin be
Gooder than gooder than
Gooder than gettin be
Time to play the low self watch
I get to zone on the kosher stuff
With my avenue attitude
But I'd really a like psycho in meditation
With my Indonesian boogaloo
Makes the mix cause the rainy weather is flyin soon
And ABC News won't be able to catch baby
I'm not home
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
When a sperm cell met with Hady (12 months later)
My first words was dad
Then I ran into a peppermint patty
Charlie Brown gets mad (he's coming after me)
(No he ain't) Yes he is (no he ain't)
Hes now over my house shootin out all the windows (broken glass everywhere)
Just like I'm standing here doing the same to his (everywhere)
Cause I'm not home
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mindstate (hello)
You can't beat my mind (hello)
