All of the Above

[Verse 1] Yo yo yo Right about now your mind is mine and My mind is yours, if you down for the cause That I'm kickin in effect is effective music Let it blink at the street like your first slow stick and go Right about now my mind is mine and My mind is yours, to enjoy the shinin' I'm inclined to give more than just a piece of my mind at love See this is all of the above Yo, right about now, my mind is yours and Your mind is yours, for a gain or a loss Whether accept or reject, perfect or defect Turn up or rewind, turn down and eject The point is, you're free as a bird I know this because somehow someway is this shit you heard And the time and the place where bullshit's preferred The odds of even oppurtunity is absurd But yo, right about now I'm on your dial Your deck, your straight table, and oh yeah, your mind Even physically consider me the sweat on your nose The tone in your voice, the funk in your toes The chill in your spine, the stoppage of time As if the matrix was inserted in your chest like you was Optimus Prime I be the, glint in your eyes and the sight of the blind And you be the, living reason why I'm writing this rhyme I be the, dap in your hand that you give to your man When you open what you open mouth covered by your other hand Brother its the first time that you heard, second time that you played Or the third when you finally understand Right about now I be MC J-Live, although I wear many hats And several titles, its vital, the recital is recognized That hip hop will never be idle, when its right about now [Verse 2] Right about now I hope you recognize that the name of the song Is not Right About Now, but All of the Above The soundtrack is courtesy of, DJ Spinna So be careful when you enter the realm We all real but feelings are so strong They clouded from the facts if you not on track And the fact is even being yourself takes practice When you front too hard, you never get it back But the, question is, who am I? Who is this? Is it live, is it real, is it here, is it deep Can you summarize with letters Like (J-B-K-N-Y-to your D-D-J-M-C) Is it, deeper than digital, uncrunchable With your 0's and 1's And never get the whole sum Is it, where you goin to or where you're coming from? Smarter than the prodigal son, or cold gettin dumb Is it fully abreast, of the old world mess And gettin shit off my chest Just to relieve the sufferin or Tryin' a party till the headlights go off The heads light up when I go off Is he tougher than nails, or sharp as a tack Approximate, or right and exact, Is he pro-dope, or anti-wack Conscious or slack, representin yellow, brown, and black Strong enough to attack, or wise enough to hold back "Yes" ... [---Sampled from "My Philosophy"- Boogie Down Productions The answer precisely Whether it be hard like Shotokan, or soft as Tai Chi It's the balance of life, you call it equality Yins and yangs rivalry slash comradery Its the speed of thoughts, calculated musically Celebrated naturally, elevated constantly Right about now you can bubble in A to Z Cuz the question and the answer, and the album is me
