There could be something to the higher star. You lie to him and you know who we are. Did I amuse you with my operating hand?. With a dance and a kiss and a bottle of wine.
Someone, quick, put something on my mind. Surrounded by the somethings that you said. I've done all the drugs that I can buy. And borrowed all the books I haven't read.
Oh, potato, if you only knew. I'm three years younger than you. Oh, potato, if only you knew. Boiled potato. . I had a hole in my heart. And you landed on my plate.
You're lost beneath the sea. And you didn't wait for me. You left me here, left me hangin' on. . When I knew you'd drowned. Did you think I'd wait around?.
I don't need a lesson. Don't put that on yourself. These things just aren't that simple and I don't want the help. And every time I try to hide, I get caught from way inside.
Bacl on my feet again. Ain't nothing going to get me down. I've got the lead again. After losing so much ground. Going to put my best foot forward. Got to stay on that straight line.
There is nothing left for me to see. The thought of end is killing me. I guess it's time for my demise. There's no more time, I'm left aside. . There's no more pain, there's no more tears.
(Mos Def (Talib Kweli)). We here, we here, we here (yes yes yes yes). Fire code (uh uh uh uh). Yes, huh (hey). We roll from uh- you know (hey). You know what time it is (get your hand out my).
Brown skin lady, hey hey. Yes. Where you goin. This goes to the brown skin ladies. Brown skin lady. Yo, indigineous women of the planet earth. What you doin?.
Alright. . I have made my bed and now it is time to lie down. Dark clown eternal with a permanent wary frown. Still holding out with pessimistic hope.
[mos def, kweli, background singers]. . (yes you areee, you're so beautiful). fantastic. (on your knees). absolutely fantastic. (in my life). absolutely fantastic.
Yo yo, yo, whassup, yo yo. Yo yo, we gonna, we gonna slow it down. So we can speed it up y'all. Right now I want everybody come to the front. That's right, move forward.
Hey there, little lovers, why we fightin with each other?. Aint no use in cryin like the others. Were fools in need, fools to believe. Were all fools in need, too foolish to believe.
You have forsaken all the love you've taken. Sleeping on a razor, there's nowhere left to fall. Your body's aching, every bone is breaking. Nothing seems to shake it, it just keeps holding on.
Everything just falls away. Just give it back into your arms. So many pieces fall away. Just give 'em back into your hearts. . Feeling one more day is gone.
It's high time we started living. Time to take, stop forbidding. time to steal, time to dance. Nobody knows if we get another chance. . How many pills should I take to sleep?.
Yeah, gunna sing a song about the blues,. and man and his hallucinations.. Oh the rust stains in my pathway,. and the gravestones of my here say say..
He ain't too stocky but he is ever so cocky,. He never cuts his hair, gets all the blame. And they call him names. He never seems. to care.. The bad boy's back in school,.
Back it up. Right up to me. Why don't you try it on for size. Back it up. Right up to me. Never mind the lights. Back it up. Right up to me. Why don't you try it on for size.
Absolved forever, into the darkest shades. Vanished from the light, to the still calling me. Enslaved forever, buried by the blues. Where your wounds like a soldier and let your ghosts run loose.
