Mindfuck
Lyricist:Boots Riley
They're givin' us a mindfuck, they ain't got to put our hands in cuffs They can tell us, stay put, and that's enough We bust, they feel the earth vibratin' It ain't an earthquake, we just need a new equation
Mindfuck, they ain't got to put our hands in cuffs They can tell us, stay put, and that's enough We bust, they feel the earth vibratin' It ain't an earthquake, we just need a new equation
The fog rolls in like the thickest cream Nightfall comes and the crickets scream Deafened by the latest lotto ticket schemes Cement lies and white picket dreams
The pain on his face is glistening No one's eyes are listening Till his 44 starts whistling Hairs on the necks, bristling
You can holla so loud till the silence comes Ask that hustler with the Midas tongue He was born after you but not quite as young Waitin' for the day when the fighters come
She said, 'Seem like traffic light's always red' 'Your application's on file', is all they said She wish the great leaders weren't always dead She could resurrect 'em inside of her instead
They're givin' us a mindfuck, they ain't got to put our hands in cuffs They can tell us, stay put, and that's enough We bust, they feel the earth vibratin' It ain't an earthquake, we just need a new equation
Mindfuck, they ain't got to put our hands in cuffs They can tell us, stay put, and that's enough We bust, they feel the earth vibratin' It ain't an earthquake, we just need a new equation
He was killed in the end by quiet persuasion Not the FBI home invasions Nor the cross on his lawn, emblazoned The predictable fights didn't phase him
Bullhorns off, holidays given House notes, nine to five prison He yells at the news, sayin', 'There'd be a movement If the new generation was a little more driven'
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com One mind, two hands, four walls She says Babylon's gon' fall She'll tell you the signs since everybody's dumb She'll be home waitin' for the Messiah's phone call
There was pride in the fact that the blunt was massive Tight like the ships in the middle passage They escaped through the flames Then wondered if the flame in their soul, if the smoke had smashed it
They're givin' us a mindfuck, they ain't got to put our hands in cuffs They can tell us, stay put, and that's enough We bust, they feel the earth vibratin' It ain't an earthquake, we just need a new equation
Mindfuck, they ain't got to put our hands in cuffs They can tell us, stay put, and that's enough We bust, they feel the earth vibratin' It ain't an earthquake, we just need a new equation
Day breaks in like a fiend with a ladder Suicidal dew drops splatter Teeth on, shirtless bodies chatter A blowjob short of a breakfast platter
Crowded rooms of lonely souls At work before the whistle blows They've never known their strength in numbers So power seems so mystical
They're waiting for that perfect day When they've paid all their bills Their kids are grown, they graduate And guerrillas come out the hills
And for her, it gets too much Till she won't accept my touch She'll fix it by herself She's fallen into their mindfuck
They're givin' us a mindfuck, they ain't got to put our hands in cuffs They can tell us, stay put, and that's enough We bust, they feel the earth vibratin' It ain't an earthquake, we just need a new equation
Mindfuck, they ain't got to put our hands in cuffs They can tell us, stay put, and that's enough We bust, they feel the earth vibratin' It ain't an earthquake, we just need a new equation
