Kanye West - On Mind Control lyrics

Yo i just want to talk about mind control
You know, when people try to
Influence you through social media
And try to tell you what to do
Or if you post something that’s like positive
On Instagram and gets taken down
If it’s not part of a bigger
Agenda, you know that’s like, mind control
That’s the echo chamber, that’s tryna control
You based off of incentivising you
And based off you getting
Enough likes and that’s
The poison that’s happening with social media
And, you know for me
You know I just got back my
IQ scores and they were Mensta
Level one thirty three
Ninety eighth percentile
Like straight up Sigmund Froy, Tеsla vibes
And the worst thing, the way I feel likе
I feel like when people try to tell me what
To do i feel like they’re touching my brain
Like, for a woman
She doesn’t want nobody to She wants
To be in control of
Her body and choose who she
Wants to give it to
And no one can come up and touch it, or, or
Take it, or tell her what to do with it
It’s up
To her what she does with it so I feel like
That with uh, my mind, like
It’s all these people, black people
Like, people on social media
People tryna control
Us and say that we’ll make us
Monolithic thought and then tryna control our
Mind they’re tryna control my mind
And then when someone tries to
Tell me what to
Do, tries to tell me what I can wear
And not wear i feel like
They’re touching my brain imagine you like
Cut your like skull open, and
Somebody like touched your brain, touch
Your brain with their hand
How that would hurt you
That’s how it hurts me when
People try to tell me
What to do when I’m going for my heart
And like, you know, try to
Tell me what to say, this ain’t
Program, or try to tell me
I'm not talking clear enough
Like I don’t clear I say we doin-
Like I’ve- I’ve forgotten… How to talk
Not clear cause I’m so programmed to
Talk clear, to sound so proper
That gets in the way of how we really feel
You know, we think so much
You know you gotta just question like, when
People get on TV shows, and
You know who are they doing business with?
What’re they connected to?
What’s they agenda?
That people holding other people down
They want y'all all to be you know
Just mind control!
It’s like a modern day psychological
Like, and ran control thing, you
Know I just talked Jack tonight
Before I got Jack Dorsey
Before I got And he
Said that: "They’re working
For the next 4 months
On reprogramming to allow
People to take off the followers" and
Allow people to take off the, you know
Take off the likes because that
That works against your self worth you know
The beauty you have is inside you it’s
Not based off how many records you sell
It’s not based on how nice your car is
Like, one of the things they do
Like soon as you get money
They make you buy a house
Like I got this house it’s never finished
Like, the house is just never finished
It’s just costing money after money
After money it's like this big plot
And like, yo, I’m really
Doing this because, like
I went to buy my publishing from Sony ATV
And they said it's like eight million
Nine million dollars
And when I went to buy it, they told
Me "No" I couldn’t buy my publishing
They told me I have the
Money to buy my publishing
And they told me that "I
Couldn’t buy my publishing"
And, it’s just- it’s like the control, like I
Can’t say what I wanna say on SNL
That I can’t say what I
Wanna say the things is
Let me change that, I will positive
Positive energy into the universe
We will say what we feel not
What we’re programmed to think
We will say what we feel we
Will do what we feel
We will do what we feel we
Will do what we feel
We will say what we feel we will say You see?
I did that as a montra i did it multiple
Times, and then you’ll get like Man
I’m not worried about
I’m not worried about any type of blog, or
Social media y'all already saw it was a lie
Social media told you that
Hillary’s gonna win, and she didn’t
Win social media told you that
People didn’t like me
But everybody loves me! Everybody loves Ye!
But if you read social media, it makes
You think something different
Unprogram your minds, open
Up your heart, Let the spirit guide you
Let your conscious be free we free
We free bro!
Like, yeah, just positive energy i’m saying
This, I’m in Africa recording
You see we just took him to
The future with the dome
The music is the best on the
Planet i am the best, living
Recording artist we, rather
Because the spirit's flow through me
The spirit of Felah, the spirit of
Marley, the spirit of Pac, flows through me
We know who the best
We know so don’t get it gassed
Up when you hear too much
Other stuff on the radio
That’s programmed that apart of a system
It’s all apart of a system to control
Your mind to control my mind
To make me look like I’m crazy
To you I’m not crazy i can ramp up if I
Suffer from sleep deprivation
I’m about to get some sleep
You know I’m sayin’ like
A lot of people we’re
Trying to get off social
Media, get off Instagram
To not express myself
We are creative individuals, we work from
Our heart and our spirit, we’re not corny
We work from our heart, and our spirit
We're not
Corny we work from our heart, and our spirit
We're not corny
It be corny people that control
To strategize, too planned out, too
Much of an agenda, too much
Of a angle on everything
We don’t have to do that
Refresh, I got rid of my laptop i had
References there, I love I
Don’t need references
The spirit will give me new ideas
Ideas are in the air, we don’t own them
We are just merely a vessel we’re
Here to do God's work
We’re merely a vessel, and when
You feel great art
That's the universe and I have to be open
And free to do that
And If I let human beings
And people, humans rather, and people
Tell me what to do, tell me what I can’t do
Then I can’t be a vessel
To you the reason why
Pac did what he did cause he was a vessel
He is, his energy never dies
Bob Marley, vessel felah, vessel ye, vessel
Sony ATV told me I couldn’t buy
My publishing I got the money
So Big John, Martey, whoever’s involved
I need my publishing
I got the money, I’m not gonna say
The S word i’m not Prince
I don’t need to write it on my face
Yeah, this is the transition we free
Our minds are free clear your mind
