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 ...
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 ...
(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 ...
Flocking to the sea
Crowds of people wait for me
Sea gulls scavenge
Steal ice cream
Worries vanish
Within my dream
I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free
I ...
It's taking time to come around
Time to bring me down
Now i'm moving.
I always knew the truth
Though it's nice to have some proof
It's so soothing.
Tears run down my face
As you spray me...
Things have changed this time around
I'm on the rocks and looking down
And i can't see for all the darkness 'round here.
You're in spain and you're walking free
I'm inside without the key
Fe...
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...
Howling, how long,
Sounding, so calm,
Pounding, so strong,
Founding, so wrong.
Howling (howling),
How long (how long).
Strolling, so long,
Lolling, some song,
Firing, a gun,
Darkness, ...
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...
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.
...
Tune in, drop out of love,
Pull the trigger, i'm a hippie,
So said a truth, in blood,
Alive and well,
You push the buttons.
Standing in line of fire,
For the whole,
My soul,
Step codes,
...
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 ...
Verse 1:
My back against the wall
My cloths are on the floor
The cash is on the table
She’s 49 but able
Able to pay my bills
Willing to hear my dreams
No, she’s not my mother
I have no sham...
Is your secret safe tonight?
And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place?
Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?
(...
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
I'm hungry for some unrest
I wanna push it beyond a peaceful pro...
When these pillars get pulled down
It will be you who wears the crown
And I'll owe everything to you
How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guidin...
The wavelength gently grows
Coercive notions re-evolve
A universe is trapped inside a tear
It resonates the core, creates unnatural laws
Replaces love and happiness with fear
oooooh uuuuh
H...
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core,
I can't hurt you anymore
Learn by numbers,
You're losing lifes wonder
Touch like strangers detached,
I can't ...
You and me are the same
We don't know or care who's to blame
And we know whoever holds the reins
Nothing will change
Our cause has gone insane
And these wars, they can't be won
And these wars...
I know you've suffered but I don't want you to hide
It's cold in lovers; I won't let u be denied,
The soon then, I'll make u feel pure
And trust me, you can be sure
I want to reconcile the vi...
