Brain
Jungle Brothers Lyrics

check me out
Pay attention to me

check it out, yo
Listen to this

I got so much funky shit inside my brain
I have a lot of creative and unique ideas in my mind

I couldn't explain, couldn't explain
I cannot fully articulate or express my thoughts

You wouldn't understand, I couldn't explain
You may not comprehend my ideas even if I tried to explain

Explanation of the funk essential trapped in my brain
I will try to describe the essential aspect of my creative ideas

Couldn't do it, make me wonder how a world maintain
I cannot articulate my thoughts, and it makes me wonder how the world can function

Got emcees frontin' total masquerade
Some rappers pretend to be something they are not

Screamin' toast had to touch them up with my blade
I had to confront them and call out their false persona

Cut is caught brothers still fallin' to this day
Even though they were exposed, some continue to deceive others

And all is face say why'd have to be this way?
They question why they have to be called out or exposed

Five 'cent is the culture
Hip Hop culture is valued at its core

Make me pop you like a vulture
If you mess with me, I will retaliate with force

Amplify my mic and let the rhyme take the clutcher
I want my message to be loud and clear through the music

The rains of the rhythms with some boom boom cat
The rhythm section with the bass drum provides the foundation for the music

Not enough to break your back, just so you react.
The music is not too intense but enough to make you move

My counter act's my counterpart
My response takes into account the other party's actions

Takin' your heart
I am captivating your attention and emotions

You made a move to pull my plug now that ass got sparked
If you try to undermine me, you will face the consequences

All I seeing and knowing is my business and I divide to multiply
I am focused on my own goals and divide my energy to achieve success

And give thanks to most high
I express gratitude to a higher power for my blessings

24/7 brothers got to make a living
We need to work hard to make a living every day

Overcome the odds is the only decision
We need to overcome the challenges we face to succeed

Cast like my pawn with your third eye vision
I feel like I am being used like a pawn in someone else's game

Slip up in the brain raise a sharp incision
Mental mistakes can have severe consequences

Streets full of clowns trying to rob your part
There are many people who will try to take advantage of you in the streets

When the herb come knocking send them home with a not
When someone comes to sell drugs, send them away empty-handed

I got my house pumped
I have confidence and energy to face any challenges

Crunch a problem with my luck
I am skilled at solving problems on the fly

Coming soft to the hole and get your whole game stuffed
If you approach me with weakness, I will defeat you easily

As we sway the dance halls from heaven to hell,
Our music can take you on a journey through different emotions and moods

As the sun do shine, JBeez rock well.
We are great at what we do

Cut you short and escort you to my innermost thoughts
I will share my deepest thoughts with you, but only briefly

Dreams of fighting for my freedom in the most high courts
I have dreams of fighting for my rights in front of the highest authorities

But jump shots get blocked and dreams get shattered
Sometimes our goals are hard to achieve and can be stopped by obstacles

And when the day turns night, souls get bruised and battered.
When things get tough, it can leave emotional scars

Cheap labor for a favor from your cotton picking neighbor,
People can be exploited for their labor in exchange for small gains

Got to work your ass off just to show you got flavor,
You need to work hard to prove yourself

Life savers won't help you when your breaking your back
Sometimes help is not available when you need it most

And Uncle Sam keep talking about raising his tax
The government keeps talking about increasing taxes

I look at heaven and see myself rolling in seven or eleven
I envision myself having great wealth and success in my life

So I can recoup this suit that I'm spending
So I can earn back the money I am currently spending

Pray to God with divine intervention all my life
I ask for God's help and guidance in my life

Repent for my sins because I don't want strife
I am sorry for my mistakes and do not want any conflict

Release from contracts to make new contacts
I want to be freed from my current obligations to pursue new opportunities

The game gets played but still remains the facts
The world can be ruthless, but the truth remains

That I got to wake up and see the brood of charades
I need to be aware of the lies and deceit around me

'Cause I'm still living in the modern age slave trade
Even today, people can be treated like slaves in various ways

Rapping on holy water,
I am using music to express my spirituality

Looking for divine order
I am seeking order and meaning in my life

Life goes on, but still the rhyme gets shorter
Time goes by quickly, and life is fleeting

Seal my fate, there's no escape
The future is determined, and there is no avoiding it

But still I'm straight,
Despite the challenges, I am doing okay

I'm back on track, shaking off the dead weight
I am getting back on the right path, shedding my past mistakes

The time has come, for me to free my soul
It is time for me to release my innermost self

Grab hold of my heart and take full control
I want to be in charge of my own life and destiny

'Cause no matter what happens when times get hard,
No matter the difficulties, I will persevere

I still stand my ground and use the force of God
I remain staunch in my beliefs and rely on a higher power

I'm about to shine like a dime,
I am about to show my greatness

It's time to give me mine,
It is time for me to receive my due

My props, cause I'm about to take you to the top,
I deserve recognition because I will lead you to success

Non-stop with the body rock
I will keep the party going with great music

I make you forget about your seat and start smiling
I will make you so happy that you forget your worries

Brothers buck wilding
My friends are partying and having fun

And JBeez is always styling
We have a unique and cool style

We bring the raw,
Our music is honest and authentic

The real hardcore,
Our music is intense and serious

Giving you more than what you bargained for
We will exceed your expectations

Son, so your ass is best to run when
You should run away when you see us

Check one check two,
Testing microphone levels

We's about to set it,
We are about to start the party

When the Brothers rock the party, you'll never forget it,
When we perform, it will be unforgettable
