control the beast - mj west lyrics

[chorus: mj west]
hold what you got, recognize the plot, don’t let them take your peace, control the beast
hold what you got, recognize the plot, don’t let them take your peace, control the beast

[verse 1: mj west]
it started when i was much younger, feeling like i was in danger
there’s no love for a black boy who can’t control his anger
let’s drug him up, if that don’t work, there’s juvenile detention
there’s other ways to tackle it that don’t n0body mention
i was talking to this old head on my motorola
hе said don’t express your feelings, keep them bottlеd up like cola
cause if they know what triggers you, they will set the stage
have you responding with rage, convicted, locked up in a cage

[chorus:mj west]
hold what you got, recognize the plot, don’t let them take your peace, control the beast
hold what you got, recognize the plot, don’t let them take your peace, control the beast

[verse 2: mj west]
forget peace, it’s war time, my enemies stay on me
i see a threat, i’m k!lling it, i’m militant, no ghadhi
i don’t say what’s gonna happen, i just make it happen
moving silence, some might say i’m the black charlie chaplin
but there’s no acting, there’s no laughter, ain’t no happy ever after
they say life’s a book, i hope i make it to the next chapter
i went through some hardships, lost some family, lost some peers
by god’s grace, i’m still here, these gray hairs are souvenirs
[chorus: mj west]
hold what you got, recognize the plot, don’t let them take your peace, control the beast
hold what you got, recognize the plot, don’t let them take your peace, control the beast

[verse 3: mj west]
i’m generous and i’m stingy, you look confused, you ain’t heard
i’ve been known to share my thoughts, and i always keep my word
i cut out all that silly stuff, and hammered down like carpentry
so pardon me, i’m busy building, for the future, for the children
i can feel the drama coming, i’ma just walk away
we don’t need the yellow tape, we don’t need the chalk today
you calling me a b*tch now, ask me if i give a d*mn
if i respond to that, then i must be who you say i am
hold what you got, recognize the plot, don’t let them take your peace, control the beast
hold what you got, recognize the plot, don’t let them take your peace, control the beast

[outro:mj west]
my man said, what’s going on with you
i know you heard what he said
back in the day, you wouldn’t lay them out
you used to be a beast
what happened
i said, the beast is on standby
the beast doesn’t come out until i need him to come out
the enemy wants you to lose control
make your life and your family’s life harder
you gotta be stronger, strategic, smarter, control the beast
