Good Thoughts Bad Thoughts by Funkadelic

• 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 Fly on, children Play on 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 Play on, children Every thought felt as true Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind Takes roots 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 Sing on, lady Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

• Tim Ray Davis does the vocals to this, he was the bass voice with the Parliments.
• Ninjaandrew from Texas the early 20th century book “As Man Thinketh” by James Allen has some nearly identical lines as George Clintons soliloquy. Such as the “the oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg”. The early novel is also referenced in Napoleon Hills “Think and grow rich”. Which could be another text that inspired this song.

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 enfoldment 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 enfoldment in man Fly on children, play on

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 yourself 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 Play on children

Every thought felt as true Or allowed to be accepted as true By your conscious mind Take roots 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, your ass will follow Play on children, so long, lady, yeah
