Mind over matter, that's the key to peace In the Bronx, we face the streets, but we find release With every breath, I find my way One step at a time, day by day Yo, check it, I'm from the concrete jungle, where dreams get crushed But I found a way to rise above, stay focused, ain't no rush Meditation, mindfulness, that's my daily grind Centering my mind, leaving the drama behind Mind over matter, that's the key to peace In the Bronx, we face the streets, but we find release With every breath, I find my way One step at a time, day by day Grew up surrounded by the hustle and the noise But I found my calm amidst the city's noise Focused on the now, living in the moment Letting go of the past, no more lamenting Yeah, they say the Bronx is tough, but we're tougher Building ourselves up, one block at a time, like a brother We're resilient, we're strong, we're more than just a place We're a community, a family, a human race From the projects to the park, we find our peace In the rhythm of the city, we find release Meditation in the park, watching the world go by Connecting with nature, under the open sky Mind over matter, that's the key to peace In the Bronx, we face the streets, but we find release With every breath, I find my way One step at a time, day by day
