[Intro: Malik Yusef]

Yeah, Abstract Mindstate

Wordsmith Malik Yu

Hellcat, Olskool Ice-Gre, yo

Check it out

[Chorus: Ashaki Djenaba]

Fluid as I am

But I'm feeling dam

Like I just cannot flow

Fluid as I am

Now I'm feeling dam

'Cause I just cannot flow

[Spoken Word: Malik Yusef]

'Cause of this constant state of oppression

Got me living in a deep state of depression

My ill state is in recession

Got me fessin' up to crimes I just didn't commit

I've gotten on stage to certain rhymes I just didn't commit

The times that I didn't permit my mind to be abstract

Sometimes a slab of crack can help build a foundation

I ain't sure if this music shit can build a sound nation

Radio reluctant to rotate

Afraid that pure flow might drown stations

But between us and them y'all, there's a difference

And we just trying to make one

No time for fake ones

This here's a record and we just trying to break one

And we ain't always right but we always write for those who never get written fo'

They love when we come through spittin' dro

They wake up every motherfucking morning, gamble they fucking life

Like what they hittin' fo'?

I refuse to let y'all think spoken word is a kitten flow

We have been prophesized to hit y'all dead in the head like tall philistines

I'm all well but, uh-huh, got the illest lines

Hard to find a story as real as mine

Abused by my momma

A pair of black stone shades at the age of ten, a muslim living in a pig pen

But now I'm Racer X just tryin' to bring y'all up to speed

Don't wanna interrupt y'all weed just trying to give y'all what y'all need

And we here to raise the bar

How the fuck we live in the city where y'all ignore the producer but praise the star?

Ten years ago I would've easily blazed your car with a silencer

But now some of my best phrases are spoken in sign languages

Each line anguishes over the modern-day slave trade

So many auction blocks out in the gardens

This is just a letter regarding the state of the union

This unholy communion where they drink my blood as wine and take halal flesh and eat it with swine

I have been known by and know the divine and I taste of steel

Stand-off with the Grim Reaper and I faced her grill

Here's a list of things that I wanna give him just in case Carl Thomas and R. Kells ever get a chance to wish again

The mesonic messiah baptizing him in fire on my walk from Jordan to Lake Michigan
