Tha God Fahim - Location: State Of Mind lyrics

Uh, check it, uh

I see things clear with the eagle vision
So I can unlock the gates
Of this mental prison
Free yourself, free your mind
Free your family
Free the blind, free the kind
They wanna jam me
They say practice makes perfect
Put in the time and in the end
It'll all be worth it
We all gotta find our purpose, I'm on purpose
Why you wanna stand by being worthless?
Yo, hard work equals big payoff
Before you make it to the c'hip
You gotta win the playoffs
Anything that stops your shine
You gotta lay off
You perpetrate and I'ma let the K off

And it's a hard knock life
Your state of mind is where you
Spend most of your life
Gotta keep your thoughts clean
Make sure your weapon's at it's best
And happiness comes with the
Ladder of success and it's a hard knock life
Your state of mind is where you
Spend most of your life
Gotta keep your thoughts clean
Make sure your weapon's at it's best
And happiness comes with the
Ladder of success

Success means nothing without happiness
And niggas with bad energies hazardous
I use the pen with the magic wrist
In your wildest dreams
Niggas couldn't imagine this
Buildin' one brick at a time
Not wise to cross the line when
I can stretch you with nines
I keep my hands on the prize
You keep your eyes on the prize
Why you looking at me stupid?
Here arise your demise

I got into the Islam, the Nation of Islam
In 1986 you know, what inspired me is, you
Know, I was at the point where I needed
Something to, you know, uplift my world
As far as you know, i had to go to the next
Level 'Nam sayin'? I was
Tired of runnin' the streets, you know, I
Just needed something, you know, to uh
Give me a little more self-esteem
And that's what it did
