M.I Abaga, Uché - Crowd Mentality lyrics

Now we're gonna talk about something serious
Yo! MI yo! Chocolate City
Yo! Rythchus Era
If you don't have a mind of your own
Don' be disappointed, this is fine be a clone
Listen to me rhyme
I'm done trying to be mine all alone
And to make things connect like
A spine to a bone
Everybody in the place be yourself
(be yourself, be yourself)

I've changed my mind
I would rather be the same as
All these fake ass entеrtainers
Make bad music just to rock in arenas
Usе words like (no bad language on radio)
Cos I tried hard to make the difference
Make the kind of music youse
Can use as reference
Everybody else say: let's dance
Who am I to tell them otherwise?
That's a job for Reverends
So I'm ready now to join the movement

Together press for negative improvement
Everybody unite
To forever end the search for life
So when I say jump (jump)
Everybody in the place dance (dance)
Everybody in the place move (move)
Everybody in the world just scream
(scream! scream) when I say jump (jump)
Everybody in the place dance (dance)
Everybody in the place move (move)
Everybody in the whole world stop
(scream? Huh? Oh uh?)
If you don't have a mind for yourself
Don't be disappointed
This is good for your health
It's the road to riches and
To diamonds and wealth redesigned it myself
To all Black people put your
Mind on your shelf
It's Ok to be poor, be needy
Better yet still care for more, be greedy
Everybody get mis-educated
Be lazy, fat, stupid with your mind sedated
No matter how many songs
I sing About truth, honesty
It'll never change a thing
I just wanna be rich and famous
The world is screaming out:
Please entertain us!
Yo, the whole world is glass or plastic
It's split like refraction
Need action drastic so forgive me
I'm a tad sarcastic
These venomous lyrics on my
Lips like chopsticks so when I say sit (sit)
Everybody in the place stand (stand)
Everybody in the place jump (jump)
Everybody in the place scream
(scream! scream) when I say sit (sit)
Everybody in the place stand (stand)
Everybody in the world just jump (jump)
Everybody in the world be yourself
(be yourself, be yourself)
Yeah, break it down, break it down
Break it down Hereeeee weeeee go!
So the moral of this song is
There are people walking around
Just like zombies and it's so strange
How people are afraid of change
Afraid of what would happen if we re-arrange
So most Black people are just
Doing what the crowd do
Doing what the system say
That we're allowed to
So break free from the crowd mentality
And then we can start to build a new reality
(Now you've got to know Said you've got
To know And you've got to know Who you are)
So come on everybody in the place fly
Everybody in the place dream
Everybody in the place be yourself
(be yourself, be yourself)
When I say shine (shine)
Everybody in the place fly (fly)
Everybody in the place dream (dream)
Everybody in the place be yourself
(be yourself, be yourself)
When I say sing (sing)
Everybody in the place speak (speak)
Everybody in the place Cmon shout (shout)
Everybody in the place be yourself
(be yourself, be yourself)
When I say sing (sing)
Everybody in the place speak (speak)
Everybody in the place shout (shout)
Everybody in the place be yourself
(be yourself, be yourself) be yourself Yo!
Be Black be Beautiful
Be Strong be Correct
Be Nice be Good
Be Right be Tight
Be Alright be Creative
Be Native be Real
Have Skills stand Tall
And be all you can be
(Now you've got to know Said you've got
To know And you've got to know Who you are)
And thats all i have to say about that
