Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts (Funkadelic, 1974)
Travel like a king,
Listen to the inner voice.
A higher wisdom is at work for you.
Conquering the stumbling blocks come easier
When the conqueror is in tune with the infinite.
Every ending is a new beginning,
Life is an endless unfoldment,
Change your mind, and you change your relation to time.
You can find the answer.
The solution lies within the problem.
The answer is in every question.
Dig it?
An attitude is all you need to rise and walk away.
Inspire yourself,
Your life is yours,
It fits you like your skin.
The oak sleeps in the acorn.
The giant sequoia tree sleeps in its tiny seed.
The bird waits in the egg.
God waits for his unfoldment in man.
You gravitate to that which you secretly love most.
You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts.
There is no chance, coincidence, or accident.
In a world ruled by law and divine order,
You rise as high as your dominant aspiration,
You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self.
Free your mind and your ass will follow.
The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers.
Its nature is to respond to your thoughts.
Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind,
For seeds grow after their kind.
Every thought felt as true,
Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind,
Takes root in your subconscious,
Blossoms sooner or later into an act,
And bears its own fruit.
Good thoughts bring forth good fruit.
Bullshit thoughts rot your meat.
Think right, and you can fly.
The kingdom of heaven is within,
Free your mind, and your ass will follow.
Play on, children.
(6:36)
