C-Jay - Mind Elevation lyrics

[Intro: CJay] It's all about mind elevation... You can make it [Verse 1: CJay] I want the fast dollars; this past August I asked God if To make it do I have to past college? My rap style is past novice; that's obvious Now my cash pile is the same amount as my gas mileage So many people die from road rage, full blown AIDS But if I die I wanna die from old age I wouldn't call it the ghetto but I am from a place among thugs I never hung with young bloods or slung d** but I once was A helpless teen trapped in someone else's dream; stressed I couldn't help but scream It seems I had to check my self-esteem Kept my belief in the bible, evil people are spiteful Every clique has a Judas; he was Jesus disciple Snake I trust that you should know If I don't trust myself, you think imma put trust in another human soul? Tried to cancel my plans to get the paper First on my list, get my mom that mansion in Jamaica Cuz Badman Forward Badman Pull up Listen Shut up; Jamaicans we started the term "Tun Up" Pardon me if you think I'm mean and you could argue me with your disagreements but I ain't sorry for your inconvenience I always wondered where the love in Broward at And if you came from nothing like me be proud of that Man I love to see my people making progress Especially if you made it out the projects, God Bless [Hook 1: CJay] Ghetto youth, ghetto children And ghetto youth, ghetto children It's all about mind elevation, time is a wasting and you could do it (Repeat) [Verse 2: CJay] On my galactical cruise, my arm stronger than Louis I am Hip Hop's Satchmo blues Laughed at you cuz more than half of you sold your souls for green bucks But does it mean much getting your hopes and dreams crushed? They tried to slay a thousand rebels But elevate your mind and try to make it out the ghetto Real talk man Don't let your surroundings stop you from doing everything You can do it.. Just put your mind to it [Hook 2: CJay] Ghetto youth, ghetto children And ghetto youth, ghetto children It's all about mind elevation, time is a wasting and you could do it (Repeat)
