Crowd Mentality Lyrics

Now we’re gonna talk about something serious

Yo! M.I., Yo! Chocolate City,

Yo! Rythchus Era

If you don’t have a mind of your own

Don’t be disappointed, this is fine, be a clone

Listen to me rhyme, I’m done trying to be mine all alone

And to make things connect like a spine to a bone

I’ve changed my mind I’d rather be the same as

All these fake ass entertainers

Make bad music just to rock in arenas

Use words like… (no bad language on radio)

‘Cos I tried hard to make the difference

Make the kind of music youse can use as reference

Everybody else say: let’s dance

Who am I to tell them otherwise that’s a job for Reverends

So I’m ready now to join the movement

Together press for negative improvement

Everybody or not

To forever end the search for life

So when I say jump (jump)

Everybody in the place dance (dance)

Everybody in the place move (move)

Everybody in the world just scream (scream! scream!!)

When I say jump (jump)

Everybody in the place dance (dance)

Everybody in the place move (move)

Everybody in the whole world stop (scream? Huh? Oh-uh?)

If you don’t have a mind for yourself

Don’t be disappointed, this is good for your health

It’s the road to riches and to diamonds and wealth

Redesigned it myself, to all

Black people put your mind on your shelf

It’s Ok to be poor, be needy

Better yet still kill for more, be greedy

Everybody get mis-educated

Be lazy, fat, stupid with your mind sedated

No matter how many songs I sing

About truth, honesty, it’ll never change a thing

I just wanna be rich and famous

The world is screaming out Please entertain us!

Yo, the whole world is glass or plastic

It’s split like refraction, need action drastic

So forgive me I’m a tad sarcastic

These venomous lyrics on my lips like chapsticks

So when I say sit (sit)

Everybody in the place stand (stand)

Everybody in the place jump (jump)

Everybody in the place scream (scream! scream!!)

When I say sit (sit)

Everybody in the place stand (stand)

Everybody in the world just jump (jump)

Everybody in the world be yourself (be yourself, be yourself)

Yeah, break it down, break it down, break it down

Yeah, break it down, break it down, break it down

Yeah, break it down, break it down, break it down

Here we go!

So the moral of this song is

There are people walking around just like zombies

And it’s so strange, how people are afraid of change

Afraid of what would happen if we re-arrange

So most Black people are just doing what the crowd do

Doing what the system say, that we’re allowed to

So break free from the crowd mentality

And then we can start to build a new reality.

So come on, everybody in the place fly

Everybody in the place dream

Everybody in the place be yourself (be yourself, be yourself)

When I say shine (shine)

Everybody in the place fly (fly)

Everybody in the place dream (dream)

Everybody in the place be yourself (be yourself, be yourself)

When I say sing (sing)

Everybody in the place speak (speak)

Everybody in the place c’mon shout (shout)

Everybody in the place be yourself(be yourself, be yourself)

When I say sing (sing)

Everybody in the place speak (speak)

Everybody in the place shout (shout)

Everybody in the place be yourself (be yourself, be yourself)

Be yourself

Yo! Be Black Be Beautiful Be Strong

Be Correct Be Nice Be Good Be Right

Be Tight Be Alright Be Creative Be

Native Be Real Have Skills Stand Tall

And be all you can be

Now you’ve got to know

Said you’ve got to know

And you’ve got to know

Who you are
