Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They givin' us a MindFuck
They ain't gotta put our hands in cuffs
They can tell us stay put and that's enough
We bust, they feel the earth vibratin'
It ain't a earthquake, we just need a new equation
MindFuck
They ain't gotta put our hands in cuffs
They can tell us stay put and that's enough
We bust, they feel the earth vibratin'
It ain't a earthquake, we just need a new equation
[Verse 2]
The fog pours in like the thickest cream
Nightfall comes and the crickets scream
Deafened by the latest lotto ticket schemes
Cement lies on white picket dreams
The pain on his face is glistening
No one's eyes are listenin'
Till his .44 starts whistlin'
Hairs on necks bristlin'
You can holler so loud till the silence comes
Ask that hustler with the Midas tongue
He was born after you, but not quite as young
Waitin' for the day when the fighters come
[Verse 3]
She said, "Seem like traffic lights always red"
"Your application's on file," is all they said
She wish the great leaders wasn't always dead
She could resurrect 'em inside of her instead
[Verse 4]
They givin' us a MindFuck
They ain't gotta put our hands in cuffs
They can tell us stay put and that's enough
We bust, they feel the earth vibratin'
It ain't a earthquake, we just need a new equation
MindFuck
They ain't gotta put our hands in cuffs
They can tell us stay put and that's enough
We bust, they feel the earth vibratin'
It ain't a earthquake, we just need a new equation
[Verse 5]
He was killed in the end by quiet persuasion
Not the FBI home invasion
Nor the cross on his lawn, emblazoned
The predictable fights didn't phase him
Bullhorns off, holidays given
House notes, nine to five prison
He yells that the news sayin' there'd be a movement
If the new generation was a little more driven
[Verse 6]
One mind, two hands, four walls
She says Babylon's gon' fall
She'll tell you the signs since everybody dumb
She'll be home waitin' for the messiah's phone call
There was pride in the fact that the blunt was massive
Tight like the ships in the Middle Passage
They escaped through the flames then wondered
If the flame in their soul, if the smoke had smashed it
[Verse 7]
They givin' us a MindFuck
They ain't gotta put our hands in cuffs
They can tell us stay put and that's enough
We bust, they feel the earth vibratin'
It ain't a earthquake, we just need a new equation
MindFuck
They ain't gotta put our hands in cuffs
They can tell us stay put and that's enough
We bust, they feel the earth vibratin'
It ain't a earthquake, we just need a new equation
[Verse 8]
Day breaks in like a fiend with a ladder
Suicidal dew drops splatter
Teeth on shirtless bodies chatter
A blowjob short of a breakfast platter
Crowded rooms of lonely souls
At work before the whistle blows
They never known their strength in numbers
So power seems so mystical
They're waiting for that perfect day
When they've paid all their bills
The kids are grown, they graduate
And guerrillas come out the hills
And for her, it gets too much
Till she won't accept my touch
She'll fix it by herself
She's fallen into their MindFuck
[Verse 9]
They givin' us a MindFuck
They ain't gotta put our hands in cuffs
They can tell us stay put and that's enough
We bust, they feel the earth vibratin'
It ain't a earthquake, we just need a new equation
MindFuck
They ain't gotta put our hands in cuffs
They can tell us stay put and that's enough
We bust, they feel the earth vibratin'
It ain't a earthquake, we just need a new equation
