Minnie Riperton
Mind Searching
[Intro: Raakin]
Ayo, I apologize If I sound a little bit froggy
I just woke up, I just want to share this real quick
[Hook: Raakin & Minnie Riperton]
Take a little trip through your mind
If I just slept through the hell and never fail
And explore it
Til' your minds content, homie never give in
[Verse 1: Raakin]
Roaming through the churches of my mind
To match another rhyme to sound great
’Cause it's only a matter of time to meet fate
All of this potential shouldn't be treated as a rental
’Specially with a stroke of a pencil
A thousand words can be flipped into an hour of stories
Good, bad, sad, great or awful
To some it's a mouthful and others will be doubtful
But have trust in yourself to make em' not even doubt you
Build your confidence, it's high as this
Mountain is tremendous, it's submission
But you'll make it in a minute
Only listen to your stomach when you stuck on a direction
Don't ask too many questions, just move and learn some lessons
'Cause even if you fail, you’re built to prevail
But if you just sit there, spots be taken as well
Dedication isn’t for sale if you ain't even tell
Best to take an L or break out of your shell
[Hook: Raakin]
Take a little trip through your mind
If I just slept through the hell and never fail
And explore it
Til’ your minds content, homie never give in
[Verse 2: Raakin]
Maybe you won't make it, maybe you can't take it
Devick your brains, so your head finally vacant
That's bad real estate, you made a mistake
You’re killing yourself over signs that you're starting to break
And that's a picture of life, that you can't retake
Everyone looking for a reason why you left
And confused that it resulted to death, selfish acts on you
Thinking it was for the best, I guess
No one cared for you, no one shared with you
No one picked you up when you was down at school
No one told you, they loved you and felt comfortable
'Cause maybe to you, it seems so unusual
But don't seek for help, so you got no one else
But if I waved at you, you say you're "Stuck in a shell"
Every room you walk in, it's like your walking itself
Thinking it's death row, but you just another lost soul
[Interlude: Raakin]
I know it seem hard, but
You goin' through family problems and
Seem like nobody can respect you anymore
Got fake friends, so many enemies
And they just wanna take you out
All at the same time, it's crazy
But you gotta wait for it
Wait for your moment, you gon' get it
Be patient, ight
[Verse 3: Raakin]
Look, even with intensities, there still a group reality
And it rattles me to hear bout my friends and what they battlin'
But they don't seek attention, cause when tension is building
And erupts through the ceiling, they not regular children
They all psychotic, don't think what's behind it
The stories go behind it and what's in em' is ironic
The seekers are the problems and they treat em' like an option
Maybe for adoption, before was abortion
Been lost caught in morbid, why is this important?
Think of all the issues not in the world, but you too
'Cause at the end of the day, it's still starts with you
Dig deep in yourself, put out an ego and mind dwell
Keep yourself wealth in yo health
Have it all to you and don't say nothin' else
The pencil is your actions and they tell a thousand words, your novel starts here
So go out and rule the word without fear
[Hook: Raakin & Minnie Ripperton]
Take a little trip through your mind
If I just slept through the hell and never fail
And explore it
Til' your minds content, homie never give in
