Lyrics

Think

[Intro: Lecture sample]

[Verse 1: Blu]

Uh, where does a thought come from?

Mind to one times one equals one

Maybe two, maybe eggs fell out the womb

Maybe June, maybe man made moons

Made you, made me, maybe

Not really, when L.A. took 17 milli

God speed one, not mach speed

No stops in the drop, don't drop me

When my tape drop, give it all you got, all the way up to the top

Only way I'm finna pop is if I keep blowing up

On your way up to the top, tell 'em stop slowing up

You ain't gotta wait up for me, I'm already on the up

[Bridge: Lecture sample]

[Verse 2: Blu]

Uh, I was always taught think before you talk

I jogged alongside my train of thought

It ain't a wrong way to write a song

I be up at 1 A.M. all day long

I be up at 1 A.M. all day long

You can yawn if you want, I stay awoke

I heard Thelonious Monk play a note

My soul doesn't want to chain a boat

If I wanted to fly, I'd take a toke

What can make a man cry? You never know

The eye in eye is all she wrote

The eye in eye is all he wrote

I walked into the sky but didn't fall

My real eyes realized it was a thought

When Mike was midair, the frame was caught

Here, take a little walk

Hm, here

You can breathe, talk, look here

Touch, count to five, wake up

Look, look alive, stay up

Look, look alive, stay up
