lyrics

Mindin' My Own

First Verse (NE$$)
I was just mindin' my own 
Yeah I was grindin’ I ain't serve nobody I was just holding 
Rollin' down Myrtle on the bike peripheral scoped'em 
See the D's parked in a unmarked Ford Focus Yo 
Blue & white patrolling 
Between a rock & hard place rollin' passed Nostrand Yo
They pulled out, rolled up on me quick 
Pig in the passenger already talkin' shit
Where u goin'/why you askin up block/ oh you tuff / what the Fuck I even sayin nothin' 
Yo ignore'em keep rollin’ peddlin' peddlin' up the block 
They cut me off, pinned me up against some cars that was parked 
In front Project Parlor 
Four D's hemmed me up Gripped me up 
I’m like what fuck I do, what the fuck 
Now they askin' for ID's like bouncers in the clurb
But for what, why you stop me, said you was riding on curb 
That bike on a sidewalk NYC racket 
If it ain’t that it’s them check points catch you up in traffic
Ask me can they search me but I’m ready for they shit  
I don’t consent to no search/ oh you lawyer said the pig
They had my arm already, pressed  me up against the car people watchin' from deli
A mini crowd start forming think that shit gon' stop’em 
Slammed me to the ground ground tryna dig up in my pockets 
Ounce a chronic in my left fatigue pockets tryna block’em  but it’s 4 on 1 plus my whole bike right on top me 
Face down in the middle of Myrtle arm ' round my neck,  got my arms stretched out like Jesus out this bitch 
Pulled the loud from the left 
Pack of white from the right pocket 
fuckin' smug cop faces  lookin like we got'em
Now I'm cuffed in the back of they car 
Cops in the front 
Talkin' bout we’ll let u go
If you tell us who’s ya plug 

(Fuck outta here) 

Chorus:
and a I was just minding' my own yeah Mindin' my own
I was just minding' my own yeah mindin' my own
I'm sayin' I was just minding' my own yeah Mindin' my own
yeah I was just minding' my own yeah mindin' my own


2nd Verse (NYM):Mindin' My Own
I was on my way  

 to the gym 

Early morning

 get it in 

Till they jump out the van 

Pointing at me 
Like that’s him 



I don’t remember  no faces

just the barrels 

Of the  weapon

And they little one 

Who told me if I move 

He’d shoot me 


You know they gun hoe
 
Out of small towns 
Don’t know the culture 

Slime balls put you in cuffs
 
then they  assault ya 

 rights 
Don’t ever  get read 

That’s in the movies 


Ny  cops

choke you to death for 

selling loosies

been fasting for the last 3 
Days 

Won’t eat the sandwiches 

 Wrong person
Need badge numbers

Suing for damages 


C.O
On a power trip

Don’t wanna turn the phones on


dude got stabbed 
He the reason that  they ain’t 
On


Should of ran 

Nah I  should of stayed in the crib

Got booked for doing nothing 

I was minding my biz

NE$$ x Baby J New York, New York

In a music scene swamped with sex, drugs and opulence '21st Century Blues' fills a space currently missing in hip hop, showing both struggles of the young Black man trapped in the system and the opportunities and hopes of the future that could be.
