O’hene Savant - Speak My Mind lyrics

Ay play me on the station
Children, gather ‘round as I
Make another statement
This is coming to you via
Me out of the basement
Most of what you hear comes
Straight out of corporations
This is why they poison ya
Miseducation have you chasing all them
Drugs that ruin your generation
Children in GH
I’m hoping you get to thinking
I notice you wanna turn up
And follow them entertainers who
Came up inside the ghetto in
A white supremacist nation
Really are powerless over powerful
Songs they making
Making you think it’s cool to be
Stupid and act with hatred
Make it as if I’m wrong
Have you seen the movie The Matrix?
We are not in control, we have been dominated
Spiritually we are blind, through education
If this was my last song
I’d tell you you should play it
And hope that it last long
Before they go erase it

I just wanna tell you what I feel sometime
Early morning, late night, speak my mind
Can I speak my mind?
Tell you what I feel sometime
Tell you what I feel sometime

I just wanna tell you what I feel sometime
Late night, early morning, speak my mind
Can I speak my mind?
Tell you what I feel sometime
Can I tell you what I feel sometime?
What I feel sometimes

So now they make us mumble
Now we savages like we come out of the jungle
Turn it to a jingle get it pressed
Labels pressed to call it a single
Just to get some singles
Ladies, if you’re single, you
Don’t need a man
Well that’s what they gonna tell you
Like you ain’t need a dad
In search of a father figure in
The form of a nia who
Was raised by a mother with
No father as a figure
No wonder why you figure your
Worth is in your figure
Posting pictures on Insta
Looking for some attention
America might say you’re slut-shaming
I should kill it
But this the same nation that
Marcus sexed the children
Dumbing down black expression to
Make us peasants
Blackball black genius or water
Down the message starve me out but the
Children are my investment
And if this was my last song
I hope that you would catch it

I just wanna tell you what I feel sometime
Early morning, late night, speak my mind
Can I speak my mind?
Tell you what I feel sometime
Tell you what I feel sometime

I just wanna tell you what I feel sometime
Late night, early morning, speak my mind
Can I speak my mind?
Tell you what I feel sometime
Can I tell you what I feel sometime?
What I feel sometimes

Sometimes I think my fans they
Really don’t understand me say, "Hene
Stay independent" then tell me
I need a Grammy
Looking for them blue checks the
Moment they Instagram me
The minute that they don’t see it
They think that I’m less outstanding
Attention deficit, in this genesis
Throttled by algorithms that
Limit intelligence
I’m ‘bout to pack my bags
Retreat and just cut my losses
There’s nothing you can do when
The people are this unconscious
Tell you left is right then
Argue that right is wrong
If you dare to go up against it, offended
They send they army (like I care)
You can’t alarm me or harm me
So I ain’t gon’ stop i got my own thoughts
Ain’t running from no thought cops
