I know a couple fire girls that like to dress shob
I got a bad habit, so I might kill and rob
But say oh na nae, ape out tha way
This boy don`t play, I got that deuce wit that tre
So step to me if you wanna, I got some soldiers on tha corner
(hoody-hoo!)hoody-hoo if you a goner, don`t say I didn`t warn ya
You think that I`m fakin? you wanna bump? you got some bacon?
Its hot where I`m at `cause the police be chasin
I`m in tha press tryin to check on my dope
Through tha mac, from tha meadow, to tha calliope
I got a big body benz, so you know I got ends, I don`t have that many friends
`cause them ni**az will do ya in!

[chorus]
Get yo mind right (8x)
You....betta....get yo mind right
Get yo mind right

[c-murder]
Man it`s hot! (how hot? ) man hotter than before
I just seen a little kid got shot up at the store
Another soldier done fell, will his killer go to hell?
Old lady seen it all, but she won`t tell
Who really cares wit his dark skin and hair kinda nappy
Preacher said: "dont worry, be happy"
A momma cries, a baby dies, and she`ll never get to see her son`s eyes
Alot of genocide got us killin up our own kind
Are we that blind? or we committed to crime?
Dont be foolish! a weak mind can`t fight
That`s what they want(thats what they want), so you betta get yo mind right

[chorus]
Get yo mind right (8x)
You....betta....get yo mind right...get yo mind right (2x)

Get yo mind right (8x)
You....betta....get yo mind right...get yo mind right (2x)
