(Talking:D-Mac)
I try to tell n***a's time and time again
You better get up and get you something n***a
You blink and you’ll be in your mid 30’s, with no stories to tell
And a mind full of would've’s and could've’s, and should've’s
All this motheruckin money out here n***a? Better get you some
By any means...Listen


(Verse 1:D-Mac)

I got moves to make
Risks to take
Goals to set, goals to reach, and dreams to chase
Can't be worried bout what people say, let em hate
Trying to make it to the top floor, gotta elevate, get out my way
I ain't got no time to play won't let you stop me for a second
Be careful who you hang with cause they may just block yo blessings
Stay prayed up, keep a fully loaded weapon
In the city where I’m living bodies dropping shit get hectic
Get out then give back, thats the plans for the ghetto
Work for what I want and nothing less I’ll never settle
Find a faithful woman who can put up with my schedule
And accept its money over everything everyday

Chorus:
My n***a Thats my mind state, so whats your mind state?
Gotta get this money n***a I ain't got no time to waste
My n***a thats my mind state, so whats your mind state?
Ain't talking dollars? I’m gon' holla got no time to play
My n***a thats my mind state, my mind state
N***a that's my mind state

Verse 2:
Never leave the porch without a gun my n***a
Kill or be killed where Im from my n***a
We see the rain more than sun my n***a
And you can't have fun with no funds my n***a
So, even though we might get life from it
We find a hustle and we put our life in it
Cuz only thing worse than a broke n***a, is a n***a thats alright with it
Get up of your ass lil n***a do something
Love sleep but I can't hit that snooze button
Gotta get up out of bed, go and get bread whether part time gig or risking time in the feds
Lurking all fall just to ball all summer
Vowed I will never let a woman take me under
Only roll with n***as I consider as my brothers
Rather grind for my own I don't want nothing from you
Nah, n***a fuck yo handout
I wanna be the Illest man out
So me and feb been cooking up, just to see how it pans out
And fuck them bitches boy its time to eat now
When Im balling I’ll catch em on the rebound


Chorus:
My n***a Thats my mind state, so whats your mind state?
Gotta get this money n***a I ain't got no time to waste
My n***a thats my mind state, so whats your mind state?
Ain't talking dollars? I’m gon' holla got no time to play
My n***a thats my mind state, my mind state
N***a that's my mind state

(Talking:Jay-Z)
And you gotta understand the reason right...
Why does that guy think like that? Right?
How do you arrive at that point?
You gotta also look at that
You gotta look at that, you gotta look at the environment’s and the places we live in
And how things are setup, and how things are structured
And how we’re always the last on the totem pole
From our schooling to our roads
To you know, everything that..that, All the obstacles that’s placed in front of us
Even our living conditions, if you live in the projects
There’s someone that lives here, here, here and here
You know? you have to deal with all these different type of personalities
You’re in the box
Someone’s above you below you on the right of you and to the left of you
And everyday you have to manage that circle, and thats just one..no
Thats just two floors, these buildings have 26 floors and there’s a ton of them
Right? these low income houses, and everything is messed up there
So, thats like living dormant
If this is what I have to live for, then I’m gonna take the chance to get more
It doesn’t matter, It doesn’t matter what happens to me

(Outro:D-Mac)

N***a thats my mind state
N***a thats my mind state
N***a thats my mind state, my mind state
N***a thats my mind state, my mind state
N***a that's my...
