Testo Inside My Head - Young MC
Testo della canzone Inside My Head (Young MC), tratta dall'album Brainstorm
This song will discuss four main parts of the brain
The cerebrum, the cerebellum, the limbic system, and the brainstem
And one individual's use or misuse of these parts
Inside my head, or inside my brain
Is that part of me which keeps me sane
Which helps discern between right and wrong
And other things I'm gonna talk about in this song
It's time for the people to know, so now I tell 'em
What goes on in my cerebrum and my cerebellum
The thought process that helps me get dressed
Get up and go to school, sit down and take a test
It helps determine if a girl is fine
And the steps necessary to make her mine
It tells me if something is cold or hot
And I don't mess it up with crack, coke, or pot
It helps my hearing, taste, touch, and sight
And smell, so I can tell that everything's all right
It tells me when to get up and when to go to bed
This is some of what goes on inside my head
I wonder what might happen
If the day came and I stopped rappin'
Would I still have friends or be all alone?
Do they like me for me or for the microphone?
And also, when I go out on a date
To a fancy restaurant, a hundred dollars a plate
And people stare, is it because they recognize me?
Or are they knee-jerk reactin' to what they see?
I'm sorry, let me make it somewhat clear
Do they look with joy or do they look with fear?
Do they think, "Oh wow, Young MC is near"?
Or do they think, "Yo, get that nigga outta here"?
I don't know, it's an unfortunate case
That I can't read your mind when I see your face
But on the other hand, you can't read mine
So I guess that the status quo's just fine
For instance, say I'm in a tall building
Lookin' out the window, what if I yelled and jumped out?
Would it really matter to some?
And if they had my funeral, just who would come?
Would they cry for me after I was gone?
Well don't worry, that's not how I'm gonna move on
Because I wanna go to heaven after I am dead
But this is what goes on inside my head
The cerebrum is that part of the brain which is responsible for
Thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, and initiating responses
To external stimuli. It is comprised of four lobes: the frontal
Which is concerned with speech and voluntary muscle activity
The parietal, which is concerned with the interpretation of sensory
Stimuli; the temporal, which is concerned with auditory stimuli
Or hearing; and the occipital lobe, which is concerned with the
Interpretation of visual stimuli. It is the development of the
Cerebrum in humans which distinguishes us from other living
Creatures. Only whales and dolphins
Have comparable cerebral development
Inside my head, pretty women reign supreme
Because they enter my life and dominate my dreams
I see one walkin' down the avenue freely
And I look her up and down, hopin' she don't see me
Then I wonder, what if the girl just stopped
Threw me on the ground, and she got on top
And then moved and grooved until our bodies were slick
And then I stop and say, "Man, that's sick"
But I'm not alone in this train of thought
A lot of people think it, but they don't get caught
They just live their life and keep it all inside
Another secret that the brain will hide, right?
I wonder what it's like to live life wild
I wonder which woman will have my child
Would I be a good parent or will I be cold?
Then I imagine I'm five years old
I'm runnin' down the street without a care in the world
Puberty's later, so I don't think about girls
Mom and Dad will do whatever I say
They think it's really cute to see their son play
Responsibility is like a four-letter word
They say they told me somethin' I say I never heard
Forget growin' up, I'll be a kid instead
Because this is what goes on inside my head
The cerebellum is located below the occipital lobe and behind the
Brainstem. It takes impulses from the rest of the brain and helps
Translate them into coordinated muscle movements. Any muscular
Activity, from brute strength to a steady hand, requires a high
Degree of cerebellar input. The brainstem is located just above
The base of the skull and is a continuous connection between the
Brain and the spinal cord. The lowest part of the brainstem, or the
Medulla oblongata, actually becomes the spinal cord at the medulla's
Lowest point and is concerned with the waking and sleeping states
Inside my head, there are so many questions to answer
And self-doubt grows in my mind like cancer
But I make sure that my thoughts are pure
And my self-confidence is like a cancer cure
So someone tell me, why do I think I'm fat
When none of my friends ever think like that?
And could it be I'm not as ugly as I feel
Because a lot of women think I've got sex appeal?
And is it true that I'm just too commercial?
Not black enough 'cause I'm not controversial?
Is it true what religious fanatics tell
If I don't go to your church, then I'm goin' to hell?
And is it true that I'm obligated to try
To please every woman music I supply?
And is it true that it'll make me strong
If I sleep with a woman 'cause she likes my song?
And is it true that I'm not a real black man
If I fall in love with somebody who needs a tan?
And is it true that I have to try to be
Some type of superhero 'cause I'm Young MC?
And is it true that I have to watch myself
Because I think about sex more than anyone else?
And is it true that every single woman is fake
'Cause she don't like me for me, but for the money I make?
And is it true that I must be out of place?
Since pop radio likes me, I'll ignore my race
And is it true what some people will complain
That since I made this song, I must be insane?
Hell no, these are just negative thoughts
And I just ignore them so I won't get caught
I let my heart lead and let my brain be less
Because this is what goes on inside my head
The limbic system, or the visual brain, is located in an area above
The brainstem and below the cerebrum. It is concerned with emotional
Tone, habitual tendencies, sexual behavior, and desires, and is
Closely associated with the cerebrum. This association provides
An inhibition for the raw emotional output of this limbic system
It is this artist's opinion that the concept of self-control rests
Upon the cerebrum's ability to regulate the uninhibited emotional
Impulses of the limbic system. And for me, the struggle continues
