Richard Alpert (born April 6, 1931), also known as Baba Ram Dass, is a contemporary spiritual teacher who wrote the 1971 bestseller Be Here Now. He is well known for his association with Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the early 1960s, both having been dismissed from their professorships for experiments on the effects of psilocybin on human subjects. He is also known for his travels to India and his association with the Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba.
"One Time 4 Your Mind" is the eighth song on Nas' debut album Illmatic. It is produced by Large Professor who provides the song with a mellow beat and a deep bassline. The song's melody samples "Walter L" by Gary Burton.[1][2] Nas raps two verses on the song and contributes to the call and response chorus with Large Professor. The song's lyrics deal with what Nas does in his leisure. Nas sampled a lyric from "One Time 4 Your Mind" on his song "Fetus."[3] Termanology references a lyric from this song on "Stop, Look, Listen" by Statik Selektah. Steve Juon of RapReviews.com describes it as a "somber and slow-rolling banger."[4] Marc Hill of PopMatters boasts the song's lyrics saying: "the laid back 'One Time 4 Your Mind' demonstrated a level of technical precision and rhetorical dexterity that [is] now requisite for inclusion among hip-hop's elite."[5]

One time for your motherfucking mind
I actually can't wait to see this when I'm stoned later tonight.
Jammer,
You and I don't know each other. Heck, I don't even know if we've posted together. That doesn't say anything about you. And that doesn't say anything about me.
But I just want to say: I'm sorry.
I regret our indifference toward each other. And I want to remedy that. I clearly see you support my posts and I want you to know I'm with you all the way. I see a little of my personality in you, as a younger version of myself even. I see a young man brimming with opportunity. But I also see a young man trapped by curiosity. I want you to indulge in that curiosity, but only to a point. Because I want you to know... Baba Ram Dass only got so far with his enlightenment. Acid, mushrooms, and ecstacy fill a very specific void. But not the void that matters.
True enlightenment comes from seeing the world as it really is. I hope you find the world open to you, as you are open... to it.
