Doctor of hip-hop is back in the building
Got a million books all stacked to the ceiling
Put ‘em all to use on a track that’s appealing
Lyrical lasso to capture the feeling
I’m the type of bandit to brandish my bandwidth
And banish the banshees who blame all the mysteries
But this is a Brandes who banters with branches
Cuz answers do grow on trees if you’re listening
Catch a breeze, I’m perception that can flex with ease
More complexity than all the toppings with the extra cheese
Mental ecstasy comes from a job well done
When I focus on the process instead of the outcome
So when you’re sittin’ at a standstill
And you don’t know what to do just…
REMIX YOUR REALITY
When worry overwhelms you
And you can’t escape just…
REMIX YOUR REALITY
It’s the remix, when I flip the switch and act like I mean it
Majored in English, not the type to rap bout a G6
More the type of rapper to kick it bout the Order of the Phoenix
Half genius, half genie out the bottle
Got my ducks in a row cuz I watch how they waddle
Next top model? No, America’s Got Talent said I was too smart for TV – the rap Aristotle
So forget Howard Stern, did it on my own
Got my team assembled and the cattle came home
Now I roam-the-globe, and I kick it off the dome
All I need’s my loop pedal and my trusty microphone
So if haters wanna doubt you
And tell you that you’ll fail just
REMIX YOUR REALITY
If critics wanna shame you
And make you feel derailed just
REMIX YOUR REALITY
People talk rude but don’t know what I walked through
I stay animated not talkin’ cartoons
Makin’ moves with a flicka da wrist
Didn’t crash in the past so I’ll blast through this
Straight Ruthless when it comes to excuses
Don’t watch a man’s mouth only what he produces
Actions speak louder and I got the power
To blast through Bowser in a matter of hours
I devour the coward inside of me
Apparently I’m the rightful heir to Shakespeare’s dynasty
Lyrically I’m climbing trees and reportin’ back
Showin’ you the future so you can forge a path
So when you’re trapped in the jungle
With darkness closing in just
REMIX YOUR REALITY
When you’re feeling all alone like
You’ve been abandoned by your friends just
REMIX YOUR REALITY
Take a hatchet to the racket inside of your head
It takes practice to master silence instead
Breathe in so deep with the respiration
Stay focusin’ the mind with the meditation
I’m no monastic blacksmith of stillness
I rap with passion so the masses can feel this
Control what you can and release the rest
You already have the tools to defeat the test
I suggest you separate the situation and the story
So you can craft an empowering allegory
Go for glory when life’s most challenging
If you change your focus you can remix your reality
