Story Behind the Song
My spiritual self motivated me to write this song. The lyrics mean to not stress about life. It is what it is. The song was written in my studio. written in 15 minutes. Music was done in Seattle in my old studio & the lyrics were written in Atlanta. I recorded the song in 2 hours. It took 20 takes to get it the way I wanted.
Lyrics
Free Your Mind
c p Robert D. Bassett Jr
Sit back and relax, and find a quite place
Where you can chill and mediate,
Vibe in the right mind state
Always running, running,
Keeps your mind clogged up.
Having lock downs on
Your brain like your head is locked up.
And you’re running, running,
Running for what?
To maintain, maintaining.
To have bigger things.
For more complaining.
To go beyond your body
Where it may give
I bet you forgot where
Your soul lives
Don’t want to hear it,
I know you
Go though it
How do I know, because?
I used to do it
I ain’t even going to front
No one can change
Until the know what they want
Even if you can’t stand to be
With yourself.
If not for that fact, do it
For your health
Free your mind
Who’s got the answers? You know
We all do
The solution to my problems might
Not work for you
In fact, It really wasn’t intended to.
But, some folks are so lost,
They don’t have a clue
Or really don’t want to.
But, See it don’t matter
Because, that
Ain’t you.
Take the time, to feel the the
Power in you
Having quiet time
Gives you the chance to
.
Get into yourself
Because, when you know yourself
You truly have wealth
That you can share amungst all
And nothing can brake you because
You can’t fall.
Then your life will be positive
None of your experiences will seem
Negative
When it’s all said and Done
And we’ve lived our time
Those that truly lived
Had a free mind
