Wake up, get dressed,don't be stressed,feel blessed-don't hate lest you walk with that weight upon your chest,the time is near,spread cheer, stomp fear,message clear,unless you wanna be a victim pouring endless tears-brake the mold,the goal,take control,take hold,of your own reality don't be bought and sold,by a world of snakes and lies that hate and criticize,just remember the battle is all in your mind-rejoice the choice,don't keep silent your voice,if you got something good to say you better say it loud,some people just ain't kind,don't pay no mind,you won't be getting any love from the world that's blind-break the mold the goal,take control,take hold of your own reality,don't be bought and sold,by a world full of snakes and lies,don't hold back this time,just remember that the battle is all in your mind"(Positive Mental Trip-It's all in your mind)
