yo yo my minds in a state of civil unrest
and its telling me its time to get up and resist
and its telling me we all gotta raise our fists
and its telling me, well a lot, but y'all get the jist
i'm just straight up sick of all this corporate bullshit
trapped in a plastic, fake reality
run by disney pepsi and mickey deez (nuts!)
not to mention the tv which lies too frequently
and numbs our souls, making us oh so cold
but ya gotta keep ya head pure
so we be the ones to stop the third world war
gotta breathe gotta care gotta feel
and we thankful for every meal
my mind can't take this shit no more
with a war on the streets and a war on the poor
what is it all for?
dont ya see they want control of ya mind
but not mine, cuz the world is too beautiful to let die

my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)

*overlaps with last two lines*
cuz when your minds in place they can't hold you down
and when your rhymes in place they can't fuck with your sound

i got my mind set
but the test aint begun yet
when me and sam met
we became a lyrical threat
to those who oppose our flows or our fuckin protest
so mic check
this is on behalf of GDS
to express the unrest with the IMF
or the international debt
disbelief in  police and their midnight mess
the plans made im goin down to the barricade
gettin on stage all crazed
and those who aint comin who frontin
who still afraid to say somethin
and release their expression
despite all the world opression
who pay attention to the teachers lesson
despite our aggression
listen up this for those who ain't givin a fuck
and i cant forget the ones who say they got PLATINUM NUTS
get your mind straight
in a militant state
cuz theres some angry muthafuckaz comin out the gates


my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)

*overlaps with last two lines*


whatever happened to the gangsta rappin
about pimp slappin and testicles going platinum
shit today is lackin cause theres more to rap
than corporate rap, whores and gats, scores and rats
im about to declare war on ya bastards
but my shit is nonviolent
only violent in the mind cause i dont want to be silenced
by some government tyrants
who dont give a fuck about me
it dont matter if they democrat or gop,
im straight third party
hip hop music adds to the movement
dont allow for stuck up, ignorant or prudent
only students who calling for revolution
as the solution to the evils of these capitalist insititutions
im only in this to express my distress
over niggaz gettin oppressed it takes a looong time to progress
this aint no one minute rice although that be nice
take my advice this uncle ben american shit wont suffice
we need the real stuff straight from china will do
mao, confuscius and foo man chu
just remember when anyone be yellin at you
you can do any shit you set your mind to

my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
my minds in a state of unrest (so get ya mind right)
