[Verse 1]
It's [Em]been a long while
Since I [D]hit ya with [A]freestyle
High [Bm]tech selec[Em]tions
From the [A]vaults of the Ice files
[Bm]Kick back [Em]re lax
And watch as I melt wax
Don't ever let [D]a b[A]ortherllike me
Ride a dope track
Cause once I [Em]hit it with the
vocltone
It's mine, have [A]motherfuckers
Rush'n to rewind
Cause [Em]I'll flow slow
And still twist your [A]tongues up
[D]Rock the house from night
[A]Till the sun's up
[Bm]Cause it relly[G] ain't
How [Em]much you say
it's what you sy
I [D]got no fuckin' time on the mic
To play
[Em]I write rhym[D]es
With addition and algebra
Mental geo[Bm]metry
Don't even come [Em]at me
Talk'n that weak and
Popin' that bullshit
[Bm]Get out my face
A fool could get his [F#m]head split
[Em]A lot of doubters
Said it couldn't be done [A]by me
[D]them same suckers
Are now [A]lookin' from under
me
Wonder'n what [D]i did
I didn't play my[A]self kid
[D]I respected my faans
And made the [Bm]high bid
Sometimes I [D]write my rhymes
At night and fall [G]asleep
Wake [A]up with new techniques
Grab the pen
And [Bm]place it on some [Em]loose leaf
[A]Nothin' soft, alw[Bm]ays the tough meat
The white [D]pa per and
Blue lines ex[A]cite my mind
[D]Not allow'n me to stop the rhyme
Until the whole [Em]motherfuckin'
[D]Book's com[A]plete
[Bm]Then I write[G] on the
Back [A]of the sheets
I [Bm]maadepromise
To my [D]brothers in street [F#m]crime
We'd get [Bm]paid with the [F#m]use
Of a sweet rhyme
[Em]We put our minds together
Made the [G]tracks clever
[Bm]Now we're checkin'
More [A]bank than ever

[Verse 2]
[A]
CHORUS
Mind over [G]matter[D][A]

[Verse 3]
[A]I can drop [D]rhymes in twos,
[A]And threes and[F#m] fours
[A]nd sti[Em]ll have much shit
Left for en[Bm]cores
Cause [Em]once my mind locks
In on a [A]dope [Em]idea[Bm]
[A]Mothercukin' ducks
Should stand [F#m]clear
[Bm]Cause I'm a hit the topic point blank
It's jail ya better [A]keep your shank
[Bm]Cause I got mine
And I'm out [A]on a solo
[G]creep
(Uggga!) Your [A]face
hits the concrete
You want to [Em]roll
With the niggas that don't play
I [Bm]think you got false courge
Get out my dam[A]n way
Cause the car I'm in
[D]Is rollin' full of men
No kids or boys, [A]E got [Bm]the Mac 10
Islam's [A]got the Zulu Nation back up
[D]DJ Aladdin's who
Hooked [A]the fuckin' track up
[D]Syn[Em]dicate's make'n the move
[D]With the ski [F#m]masks[G]
And [A]I'm house'n the long cash
So now you realize
You underestimated the Ice
[Em]You thought that I was OK
But now you realize I'm nice
But that's alright
Cause I knew I'd mke it in the end
[A]Those who lik[Em]e me now
[A]Might not of [Bm]liked me then
But I'm a keep impressin'
Stressin' my lesson
And keep motherfuckers guessin'
Armor [Em]plate my mind
With wall[A]s and shield[G]s
As I es[A]cape from the killing [Bm]fields[A][Bm]
[Em][G]
[A][Bm][A][Bm][Em][G]
[A][Em]
Mind over [G]matter[A]

[Verse 4]
[A]Wise up
[D]Move the tempo of this [A]hype groove
[Bm]You know this shit is dope
So what you try'n to prove
[Em]Vu's max as Evil [D]E
My [A]niggaa dogs the wax
[G]My [Bm]brain's [A]a handgrenade- catch
[Bm]I'm a hit [A]you with an over[Em] load
Of [Bm]bottomless thought
Reversin' all the [A]shit you're taught
[Bm]Then throw words[Em] at you
Syl- la- ble- [Bm]at- [G]a- time
Your brain re[A]cites the rhyme
No matter what you do
The power's over you
[Bm]when[A] you sleep
You'll be say'n these [Bm]rhymes too
Cause the [Em]brain has the [A]power
To con[Em]trol all
Think [G]positive
[A]You'll be unable to fall
[Em]Brain cells swell
Thought process be
[A]comes [Bm]a trance
Makes you feel pos[A]sessed to dance
[Bm]I'll say I[Em] want a million
My mind [F#m]is so deep
[G]I'll be bus[D]tin' a check
[A]for it next week
