My Mind Right

About My Mind Right

"My Mind Right", released in 2000, is the first single from Memphis Bleek's second studio album, The Understanding and DJ Clue? Presents: Backstage Mixtape. On the original version of the song found on Clue's DJ Clue? Presents: Backstage Mixtape features Ja Rule on the hook chanting Murder & in Verse 2 Bleek responds back to Nas's response from Nastradamus (song) when Nas recites "You wanna ball til you fall?, I can help you with that/You want beef? I could let a slug melt in your hat" with the lines "And only a few fit in, your lifestyle's written/So who you supposed to be, play your position" & later ending the verse with "And you run through backwoods, I twist backwoods/And greenerey, chase you with heavy machinery/You know exactly who these streets belong to/B. I. G. done warned you, and I'ma run up on you, nigga" a reference to Kick in the Door which Biggie responds back with subliminals at Nas over who the King of New York Hip Hop is. The music video (directed by Nzingha Stewart) features cameos from Jay-Z, Damon Dash, Caddillac Tah, Ja Rule (despite being on the hook) & Fabolous. Initially, the song was not a major hit and did not receive much airplay. It was struggling to gain recognition upon its release until, Memphis Bleek recruited Jay-Z, Get Low Records' artist, H. Money Bags, and Beanie Sigel for the heavily played remix. This version of the song would go on to be a huge hit during the summer of 2000 and would be the #1 song for a while on the rap charts. The single would be Bleek's biggest hit until the next two songs were released from the album. The remix to "My Mind Right" was such a big hit that it was included on his album, while the original version was not. more »

Understand what this shit right here is about
Understand what this shit right here is about
From Marcy
Understand me, yeah, yo

[Verse 1]
This for the streets, and you know I ain't goin nowhere
Get your guns out who want it with Memphis yeah
I'ma make you understand why I do what I do
Why I keep my hat tilt, and my doorag too
I'm a thug, my heart pump gangsta shit
I f*ck with her, she my gangsta bitch
My wrists don't freeze, glocks'll squeeze
Whole click got a watch, dropping keys
And I want the block back
You niggas had your run, we'll stop that, you better watch this cat
I done came up, and f*ck bringin your name up
It's beef I'ma see you, and bang til you hang up
Your life on line, but here's the truth
You ain't hype to die, but you hype to shoot
You let the Henny talk for you, you really a bitch
Why the D's know your name 'cause you really a snitch

[Chorus: x2]]
Got my mind right, money right, ready for war
(Memph Bleek Is) (Murder) yeah told you before
I got the streets locked, Bleek hot as before
You know the game and the name now I'm ready for war

[Verse 2]
(Memph Bleek Is) back for the streets
Knowing that (Coming of Age) controlling the creep
Put in work on these streets, busting my heat
Dodging the Ds, you know it's a margin between me
And only a few fit in, your lifestyle's written
So who you supposed to be, play your position
I used to write to the wall, about the Porsche
Now I write for the house and the rob report
I used to think, Bleek and the baddest bitch
Now the, baddest bitch is a average bitch
All I need her is for head and to stash my lead
Push my V, take this key to hempstead
And you run through backwoods, I twist backwoods
And greenery, sha shoo with heavy machinery
You know exactly who these streets belong to
B.I.G. done warned you, and I'ma run up on you, nigga

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Hey yo I think I'm the best, from coast to coast
I'm above rap cats, they know what I gross
What they make from they album, I do at my show
Your advance is what, I spent that when I was broke
I ship gold, you better watch me now
Many middle in this game, at the top I'm found
I wanted these cats, repping my hood, then go back
Be on the same old bench, with the same old rap
I'm from Marcy, you see them cars we buy
Seats up, smoke blunts, with my concubine
Twin, P-89 for you two fake fagots
Tucked under the lining of the Roc-A-Wear fabric
F*ck why y'all, you know the squad be 'bout
Anything that involve dollar signs and accounts
It's the M dot E M P H man stop
I bought see a watch, next day I bought a house

[Chorus]
