Use your brain from backwards to front,
Front to yours straight up,
Let me check your gear,
Stand at attention like you should,
Put that uniform on representing yourself,
What you see in the mirror?
Who you see in the mirror?
Is it the illest or the healer?
Inspect yourself of how you smelling,
Inspect yourself of how you seeing,
Inspect yourself of how you feeling,
Inspect yourself of how you hearing,
Inspect yourself of how you tasting,
Fresh out the gates with a word of space,
Blow your old mentality away,
Never go find it or meet your death,
Be stubborn if you want,
Seep deeper into a religion that won't lead you,
Nowhere but back into the scriptures as that character,
And watch the opposite character come out realer,
It's the ill thriller you figured,
And yes you can't teach an ole dummy new tricks,
But the trick can teach a new treat,
And the treat can be mint,
Plus the mint can be too much as you breathe-in,
The breathe-in is the breath out and i felt it,
Then shook of life giving up more back,
From back to back fore any who runs,
Is the oxygen you need to exceed a cheetah's stamina,
So fast tears coming out your eyes thinking about your pinnacle,
All emotion travels like a draft in the wind,
Focus souljah now stand at-ease...rest,
This is it! Ugh.
