feat. Talib Kweli
[verse 1]
Ay yo the prophet (profit?) is without honor
In your own country,
people swear that you ain't shit cuz they know your mama
So much drama at the crib it ain't fit ...
I can feel a storm brewing over nothing
We were having fun
There's no harm done there
You need attention
I can see you're sulking
It's about time that you learn to share
Lighten up
It's go...
When the tower tumbled
We began anew
Had no time for warning
It comes flashing back
Then just fades to black
All gone
All the land rejoices
Now the coast is clear
No more silent voices ...
Locked in a cage, by yourself
Downtrodden rage, Breeds poor health
Make an excuse, then duck out
It's self induced, knuckle back
Try to get off, go somewhere
Dying for love, way out there
I...
You got a rocket in your pocket
Why can you just let me be
Have you no eyes in your sockets
Or are you just pleased to see me
As you all know
You better take care
Treat me with respect

Hey, musicman just play something cool
We love the sunshine to dance by the pool
Down with the crew known to pump up the bass
We rock the joint at a cool steady pace
Love sweet love

Sometimes i get up feeling good but greed gets me down,
I try to think about the highs, the freedom we've found,
When the business in your life don't sit with your soul,
And they treat you like ...
I think i slip the net,
But i cut myself free,
I'm not losing yet,
So don't forget me.
I'll say it, replay it, and try tomorrow
I'll say it, replay it, and live with sorrow.
You'd think i...
They wanted me here just to show you my face,
But when it comes to the crunch, I just hide in disgrace.
You're calling me mad, but I know you're the same.
Coz you got to be seen to be playing th...
Waking to these sounds again
I wonder how I'll sleep
Passing out is taking off into the stubborn deep
I'd like to meet a human who makes it all seem clear
To work out all these cycles and why I...
Angry faces, cursing loud,
Changing places, falling proud
Behind the bomb, no one cares,
Time is money
We're taught to tear
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want ...
They're for all to see
Self contained lovers
Welded orally
No run for cover
I'd join in the fun
If i had someone
But it seems i'm undone
These public displays of affection
Surely your lov...
Meet me on the otherside
it's a brand new start to a brand new life, and I'm open
Cause we both share the same degree
of ecology and philosophy, and I'm open
The lonely world without a frien...
Waiting in the club lounge
I slot in so systematicly
I wanna smash it to pieces
Release this hatred inside of me
You know you fill me with passion
But I just act apologetically
I'm gonna mi...
Driving home now
We got away
Here's to our future at least
That's what they say
Pouring rain
All through my head
Makes me wonder if I'd
Be better of dead
I'm through the feeling deeply
...
(Alright)
I am the new
For reasons I can never explain
I speak the truth
I put an end to all your pain
I want guilt, I wanna to drag you right through your past
I'm on a role
And I'm moving ...
Take your time now
Feel like standing still
Get your barings
Until
When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown
When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown
Full of te...
You feel frozen
But you've been chosen
You lay there drunken
Your dreams seem sunken
Your world's a small world
And you break the rules
You're one big fish
In a pool of fools
Tired of s...
Tape loop, keeps on turning round, forever,
Patience, love is coming 'round for your pleasure,
Wait now, no use trying to push, there's no need,
People, go against the grain, with their greed.

Vacations in Europe
Sensational sense
We made the most of
Your inheritence
Come you son of a gun
How can it be done
We're still on the run
Ten men all rolled into one (ten men, in one)
