Kyle, who was born in Jamaica and raised in Randolph, Ma (a suburb of Boston), loves lyrics and word-play and even though Kyle has been Inspired by artists like B.O.B, J.Cole and Chiddy Bang, He has a very broad musical palette, which ranges from techno, R&B, Soul, to Gospel. Kyle Bent is not easily led, because he is a leader and this is something you begin to understand immediately as you listen to his work. Not interested in the fads of today's rap artists, or the run of the mill "rapper cliche's", Kyle can give a more than welcomed alternative to the NORM.
Mind Control
Kyle Bent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your mind and your soul
They tell us that were free but it's all mind control
I said take back your life
Your mind and your soul
1 verse: gone out of my mind cause our life and lies are so intertwine
You in a box, I'm outside
Tried warning my peers but I smelled ignorance in the air
These lies getting whispered up in your ear
From beings that don't originate here
We under their control
Ears to toes
Only cause we aint spiritual
Manipulating the generations
Got reptillians in our code
No double helix, there's 12 spirals
This hidden power is in our souls
Magnificent imbocile
But still no rapper is near to Kyle
Why they look at you as a child
You'll gain my knowledge 5 years from now
Crazy truth coming from the youth
You give them loot while they kill the troops
Civil war, world war 2
World war 3, none were true
2012, new beginning but this year I'm so done with you
Taking a number 2 on these Emcees
Til I'm empty
I'm a God emcee yall demis
So all I see is envy
Yall can't see me, I'm in a different D
Mention like I smoked DMT
Boutta blow like TNTs
Just so they know it's B.E.N.T, ah
Chorus: (take back your life
Your mind and your soul
They tell us that were free but it's all mind control) 2x
(They can't tell us nothing, they aint saying nothing relevant
We aint listening) 2x
Verse 2: American life, full of conspiracy theories, money power
And the celebrity lights
Where we all bombarded by law
Whether it's wrong or it's right
Where religion is causing division debating on alaa or christ
Why fight bout who is right
Maybe we all should unite
Put our differences behind
Because this human race is one of a kind
Take it one step at a time
Because over time our minds will align
Why aren't we heeding the signs
On December 21st, we will survive
The media's feeding us lies
Striking fear into American lives
But the divine will always prevail
And the elite will meet their demise
The battles not yours nor mine
So don't mind the war cries
Things look fine in your eyes
Only at this point of time
Just know through the hardest time that's when we will start to shine
If all this vanity that I see is temporary
What's the point of me stressing over clothes and ps3s
Honest I just want to give the world my knowledge
And stress the fact that none of ya'll flows is seeing me
I used to stress over being labeled as the hottest
But in this cold world I'll forever be on freeze
Respect to hova
But we can be our own God's and Goddesses
If only the whole world would just get up of their knees
I used to be egotistic and pride-affiliated
And a few of those things might just linger in me still
But when I realized there's more to life than being famous
I understood you don't need a record deal
You just need to
Chorus: (take back your life
Your mind and your soul
They tell us that were free but it's all mind control) 2x
