use your mind - zach brunotte lyrics
[intro]
yo it’s time we stop lettin’ society think for us
think for yourself
use your mind
[verse 1]
let me get a minute of your time
listen to these rhymes
let me get a minute of your time
use your mind
don’t let this world hypnotize ya
with its lies
look into yourself homie
deep into your eyes
wonder why?
wonder what you’re here for
you ever wonder why?
what’s the purpose of this life?
the world tries to tell ya
chase the money, chase the fame
man i’m tryna’ tell ya, success is in ya brain
i’m thought provoking
hoping i could take make ya take a moment
get your whole life in focus
that’s why i wrote this
the world tries to tell ya
everything is “hokus pokus”
like flash, and it’s magic
i’ll tell you that is bogus
nothing coming easy homie
don’t give in, don’t quit
these other rappers out here
bragging ’bout they cash
we still living broke
’cause we spent it on they tracks
invest in ya dreams man
ya dreams will pay you back
[interlude]
we feed our minds so much negativity
and we wonder why the world is so flawed
if we would love and encourage one another
we’d begin to see a more healthy society
[chorus]
stats are gettin’ higher
facts don’t lie
it’s up to you to change it
use your mind
it’s up to you to change it
use your mind
it’s just another one dead
another young life
[verse 2]
so many young lives
p-ssing on before my eyes
so many gave up
overcome by suicide
depression is a mental illness
deep inside your mind
it’s time that we address it
don’t let it take your life
if you think about it, talk about it
don’t keep it inside
and for those who second-guess it
’cause you think they seek attention
should i mention, depression is a reflection of neglect
if you missed the message man they might need attention
i’m thought provoking
hoping i could take make ya take a moment
so please don’t lose focus
my people out here broken
man i really hope this
inspires greater motives
let’s come together, love each other
when we feelin’ hopeless
the world has an ailment
the prognosis is atrocious
edify ya brother
clothe the cold and feed the homeless
so we can come together
unity, closeness
and we can put together all the pieces that are broken
[interlude]
in the next 24 hours statistics state that over 2,000 people will commit suicide
that’s five suicides in the time you listen to this song
[chorus]
stats are gettin’ higher
facts don’t lie
it’s up to you to change it
use your mind
it’s up to you to change it
use your mind
it’s just another one dead
another young life
[verse 3]
i got a p-ssion for culture
and imma’ make it clear
now as a white man
you might wonder why i care
but see i got a son with brown skin and curly hair
and my daughter’s mixed to so
i am aware
that they won’t see the privileges a white man bears
some folks won’t admit it
’cause they really don’t care
and other’s don’t believe it
they’re just not aware
well i’m here to raise awareness
so open up ya ears!
i’m thought provoking
hoping i could take make ya take a moment
imma’ put some things in focus
so listen up, quote this
man it’s time we stop
oppressing other cultures
we treat ’em like they less
want ’em dead, like we vultures
see to me every culture is a sculpture
a beauty, work of art
and the value is like gold
it’s amazing if we’d take
all these races we could make
a nation so great
if we’d just embrace the culture
[interlude]
it’s time we stop looking down on ourselves and others
simply because we are different
we should embrace our differences
and we should respect others for theirs
[chorus]
stats are gettin’ higher
facts don’t lie
it’s up to you to change it
use your mind
it’s up to you to change it
use your mind
it’s just another one dead
another young life
