Mind vs. Mouth

lyrics

-Mind-
Hey mouth, it's me, your brain
Let's take it from the top
Should put a leash on you
Cause you keep running off
You talk before I know it
I'm always a step behind
All your fault yet they still ask me
"Have you lost your mind?"
Actions have consequences
Did that thought occur to you?
Oh wait, you can't think
That's literally the main job that I do
I write it all specifically
And you just make the sound
Though, at times I'd speak more clearly
If you just weren't around

You could really stand to take a breath
No need to talk til there's no words left
You know what they say: "think before you speak"
That's the solution that I seek

-Mouth-
Look, I totally get it, where you're coming from
But from my point of view, you're kinda dumb
I just wanna say the things I wanna say
I don't wanna think about a stupid brain getting in my way
Who cares about the points I made as long as someone bought em
Might be physically above me but you actin like a bottom
You want someone to deliver your messages well you got him
You don't like the words I'm using? Well you're the one that taught em to me

Sorry man, but you're kinda stuck
Kinda sucks, but I really don't give a fuck
Ain't not getting rid of me, not even a replacement
Everyone would be asking where the main part of your face went
I will say whatever to stay ahead
Even if it's random at least something was said
Apple bottom Dark Souls, secondary flex
A little bit of chronic, and Bionicle sex
[Mata Nui!]

-Mind-
See what I mean? With sentences that dense
None of what you just said makes any damn sense
If you only took a second to wait
What you said could've been gre-

-Mouth-
Wow, look at the big brain on my brain
Knows exactly every sentence that I should be saying

-Mind-
Look, I'm not saying you're corrupt
For starters, please try not to interru-

-Mouth-
And man, I don't understand why you're getting mad at me
[Dude]
Sorry I can't live under your monarchy; I'm speaking free
Don't you know you can't stop my flow, it's a sonic boom
I could change the time signature if I wanted to
[wait, what?]

Now we're in 5, whatchu gonna do about it, gonna cry?
Sorry I can't live a life in closed quarters, too much order, I need to fly
From the borders that you put around me that you implement like cement
Well guess what? You can think what you think, but they'll hear what you meant
Cause no matter what I said it still links back to a thought that you had
It might've been subconscious but that doesn't excuse the rude or the bad
Maybe I'm just saying what you're too afraid to say but I do it with ease
Take responsibility for what you've done, now fuck it I'mma change the key
