Lyrics

Yeah, P. Philly, Epic Quizup
The Mindstate venture
This music ain't for everybody
This music's for you
Look out, they'll take your shhh, ready to break your shhh
Take to spend more and get some shhh
Move over, another hostile takeover
As the world turns, the world turns over
F y'all, me first, that's become the motto
Whether you're white, black, hispanic or mulatto
And it's only 'cause we follow our leaders
They be hollow and won't respect us either
It's really hard to swallow though, bet you don't hear me though
Probably even fear me so
You'd do anything to go and buy that new stereo
And ever since the currency has battled all the courtesy
Of live and let live or live and let be
We've become disconnected, disrespected
And it's affected our whole state of being now
Take a wrong turn and you get shot
Like we ignorant and forgot that life is all we got man
Respect, we check, we connect
We respect each other like a brother or a martyr
If there's no respect, then why even bother?
Respect, we check, we connect
We respect each other like our mother and our father
If there's no respect, then why even bother?
Every once in a while I look out of my window and go
Off to a place that my old folks done showed
I ain't never been there before, but
They told me enough about it for me
Not to doubt it, go
Back to reality, become a casualty of the rat race
Everything is fast paced, and while the cats chase
The mice, they be running around
And the cats they be hunting them down
Gunning them down by law if they find you're the enemy
And if they do, they'll fuck you up relentlessly
Endlessly, the evil goes on but every trend gotta end
So I remain strong and hopeful
Even when they try to keep me in a choke hold, I know my hope grow
Ayo, it's time for an intermission from all of this greed
Before these corporations take away more than they need
Respect, we check, we connect
We respect each other like a brother or a martyr
If there's no respect, then why even bother?
Respect, we check, we connect
We respect each other like our mother and our father
If there's no respect, then why even bother? (Everybody, come on)
Respect, we check, we connect (We connect)
We respect each other like a brother or a martyr (Come on)
If there's no respect, then why even bother?
Respect, we check, we connect (We connect, y'all)
We respect each other like our mother and our father
If there's no respect, then why even bother?
Yo, at the end of the day
It's all about what kinda world you wanna live in
What kinda mind state you wanna be in
Yo, see past the bullshit
And get into it
Respect, connect
Let's build
