[Bonafide]
I keep comin' at you
Lyrical raptures capture you
Only if your soul is ready
I comin' after you
Bodysnatchin' you and dismantlin' your crew
It's Tennesseeans wit nouns and verbs agreein'
Wit higher being
Sendin' messages
Spreadin' through your chest it's just
Blessings from conception rearrangin' your perception
This planetary lyricist
At least that's what the Source quotes
Resurrectin' hip-hop on a higher plateau
We crept low
Movin' slow with intention to blow
Carry loads of flows for those who doubt and didn't know
And circumstances deep in crime intense seat back in the
Center of my body structure
Ready to rupture
At times I sat back to think again and again
How I broke the golden rule by doing business with friends
My mind traveled paths on a search to be free
Suspicion felt corruption had a piece of Gotee
Success had me stressed like the G-Mo-B
Cee-Lo's verse on "Thought Process" was the description of me
But them again I caught the vision that was given within
As a child rockin' mirrors wishin' I was Rakim
On stage
Engagin' state to state
Rampages, airplay, videos, and stretch black limos
The dream that seemed impossible
But now I'm doin' show for thousands
Savin' souls through least
Lacin' spirits concrete
And the belief that I inject on beats
Deplete
God's word that is instilled in me
To the masses 'til I feel my mission here is complete
And it's essential
That this is my life after mental

[Chorus x2]
Mental's over
It's the dawn of a new day
Out with the old
Different messages to relay
Mental's gone
It's time to do it up again
The past is behind
Life after will begin

[Coffee]
Now let's talk
Gather to see who can talk the most noise on an album
You the listeners decide the outcome
How come
It's our second record without Mental... gettin' the recognition it deserved
This Christian industry is gettin' on my nerve
Serves us right for thinkin' they would believe our vision
Give us proper support
But when it got hectic
Mission abort
Poor sports is what they called us
Now that's crazy
All cause we wanted to be pushed
Not ambushed and pulled
Off the shelves for being ourselves
Unlike no one else
But still they made comparisons
How Un-American
Strivin' in the midst of warzones and red tape
They try to hold us back
But it's the black in me that makes me create
Colorful collages hang on the walls of garages
No mirages
What you see is what you get
Ah, that's that hit
Ah shoots you know I'm in cohoots
With the higher power
Sprinkle me with spirital showers
Drinks anyone
Pourin' glasses of Tang
If you're drinkin' from me, the flavor's lemon meringue
I'ma be me despite the shackles of the industry
Bump they last chances
God engineers my circumstances
And hey
I think I like that
He's the one I confine in
Never dealin' shady and lettin' the enemy slide in
This rap game is all I got to maintain
It keeps me sane in my life
After mental

[Chorus x2]

[No lyrics]

she was a friend of me
soon become the enemy
my heart said it was meant to be
cold sweats and nightmares of killin her for breakin me
bound to be 1 from corruption of adultery
prayin at night this day i'll never see through
who knew this gal was out to get me for years
seein dreams of her scams professed before i had fans
delilahs kisses of deception was my justified stance
ignorance self contained in disobedient hands
infatuation claimed was true is definition of this
female relation contradictin my standards for this
witnessed the hand of god began divisions progress
as vintage for all my pain grew deep in my flesh
decisions to suffer bonds that of the startin distress
no less than foolness tribulated to bless
peace once released from the grip of distress
the culprit responsible found to be the likeness of me
the very images i blamed this on self
but not protectin my affections for conductions of hell
her spell had me bound like bank tellers and hostages
smell had me fooled like designer female imposters
why does it happen to the best of gods men?
we fall from desires of fruit thats been forbiddin
since the beginnin of time we been blamin the women
its not their fault that their fine
we need to wait til its given

blame it on you take the blame from me
if u was in my shoes you'd do the same to me
repercussion of hell from the hand it was dealt
i let you use up all my aces what im facin is needin help
(repeat)

feelin remorse from divorce
lettin nature take its ugly course
catapulting two people in love to insulting
i wish i never met you baby doll from dires join the concubine
jack it like a porcupine alliance in reliance
with self searchin for my key or else in trees
on the wrong side of the woods
and thats no good dancing earnestly with forward respect
swerving up and down super jet aint know the lightning bolts and storms bout to get
when i made them vows heard the screams and saw the cows
paid no mind, ignoring all the warning signs
from top to bottom of my finger monkeying around the dream believer
believin in happiness forever mine was crabbiness unclever unclear
temporarily brain dead my teeth in a poison cornbread of a rehab
we were woven that some day open the water rose above our heads
thats when the flesh came to life and the spirit metamorphed the dead
she killed me softer than a refugee and not sure what was left of me
bamboozled by a shuler when your united as one
the process labeled marriage took less than half a man seein a dad pushed in a baby carriage
pure and out of struggle responsibilities we juggle find it funny
aint no matter to scoff about or chuckle
beneath my stature a superman with no terry hatcher
i stand alone this time givin my lord this heart to capture
