You've got nothing to say, nothing to say. But you're found a way to make yourself heard. To make yourself heard. These simple words, got nowhere to go.
(Blackstar;Walker). "I've got a never ending love for you. from now on that's all I want to do...". I have got no reason. I have got no reason at all.
Time won't save our souls. Time won't save our souls. Time won't save my soul, no. . Well, everything is going down. Nothing seems to feel same. No one seems to know my name.
[Talib Kweli]. So many emcees focusin on black people extermination. We keep it balanced with that knowledge of self, determination. It's hot, we be blowin the spots, with conversations.
Your mind is ticking like a bomb. Your center grating in the fog. The pain will keep your senses quick. They crack your soul on the pavement. . But all in all you can't disguise it.
The shadow's creeping, only one way left to go. You hit the bottom where the silence only grows. It's never alone. . You feel the fire burning sweet within your skin.
(Blackstar;Walker). I have had the same old dream always lately. And I do not want to dream no more. I have had the same recurring dreams lately. And what I have dreamt I am not quite sure.
I'm gonna' fade your soul. I'm gonna' bleed your mind. I'm gonna' fade your soul. I'm gonna' bleed your mind. Until your mine. I'm gonna' fade your soul.

(Blackstar;Walker). So you do not know what you have got until it is gone. Cannot change my tune but I sure can change the song. And you know the show must go on.
Christ knows it is easy, so goddamn easy. So come on and give me your best shot. Please criticize me, come analyze me. Because I can take it all, let me tell you now.
Well, you run from your reasons as you slip on your soul. Now you're keeping a hold of something you've never known. You're tying your mind claiming life is your side, yeah.
Hello everybody, recording live from somewhere. . Lord, Lord have mercy. All nice an' peace an' true, follow me now, we say. Say, "Hi-Tek, yes, you're rulin' hip hop".
Once upon a time not long ago. When people wore Adidas and lived life slow. When laws were stern and justice stood. And people was behaving like hip-hop was good.
So Jesus left you lonely. Feels like nothing's really holy. No one, no one hears your calling. Falling, everything is falling. . Do you feel alive?. Can you feel alive?.
(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).
Will you lay me down, will you lay me down?. Will you lay me down inside heavens walls. Where every soul is a setting sun?. . Will you take my hand, will you take my hand?.
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?.
