In The Bag

A room equipped for scientific experiments
A place for research or teachings
A building where experiments are performed
Welcome to the lab

Go within, go within yourself
Go within, go within yourself
Go within, go within yourself
Go within, go within yourself

Who are you
Who will you become
Repeat after me
Stir up the ingredients within me that create the perfect recipe

Go within
Go within

Find your inner picasso
Create yourself masterpiece

Go within

Conduct an experiment of your mental strength
Measure your action muscle
Test your commitment to change with the weight of discipline

Go within
Go within

Analyze your past
Are you the same
Design a plan to cultivate the evolution of your greatest self

Go within
Go within

Who are you
Who will you become
Repeat after me
Stir up the ingredients within me that create the perfect recipe

Go within
Go within

Sometimes you gotta reinvent yourself
Oh no, It can't be done spending your waking moment watching facebook and ig stories
Nah go within

And It can't be done when you live to party
And partake in alcoholic and chemical substances
That can cause impaired judgement
Self-development takes place in one room
The lab of self-development

Go within
Go within, go within yourself

I'm just gonna keep it like 100 with you guys
It seems like our community is like lagging
You know because we get so caught up on like soul food
And like man I gotta have this I gotta have that, like popeyes and all that
But later on down the line we notice
That grandma, auntie, uncle all of them have diabetes
High blood pressure have uhm all kinda shit and
We need to get it together

One of the definitions of slavery is practicing exhausting labor or restricted freedom

Restricted freedom

That condition didn't just transpire during the transatlantic slave trade
The europeans kidnapped africans enslaved them and transported them to the americas
Slavery is still very well present in the real world today

Restricted freedom

Soul-food for example
Battered, fried saturated in lard and high cholesterol
Originally slave masters fed slaves food that was low in nutritional value

Restricted freedom

And now people of color lead the country in high blood pressure and heart disease
Talk about conditioned
Food is meant to nourish and heal not kill
So Is it really feeding your soul

Slavery is still very present in the real world today
Two words
Mass incarceration
Don't believe me
Watch the thirteenth

Restricted freedom

Speaking of prison
Someone once said
The greatest prison people live in, is the fear of what other people think

Slavery of the mind

Free yourself
Free yourself

Addiction
Free yourself
Big pharma legal drug dealers
Free yourself
Redlining
Free yourself
They want to control you
Free yourself
Taxes
Free yourself
Corporate America
Free yourself
Vaccines are not regulated
Free yourself
It's about controlling you
Free yourself
