Sometimes Lyrics - Cee-lo Green Is The Soul Machine - Cee-lo

Ladies and gentlemen, Cee-Lo 

[Cee-Lo] 

Peace 

How y'all feel out there 

That's cool 

Alright 

You know, sometimes I wanna rap 

Sometimes I wanna sing, you know what I mean 

Sometimes all it calls for is a nice mellow groove 

Hit of rimshot, you know 

Just get, you know, get you open 

But I wanna do a piece for y'all tonight, it's called sometimes 

Alright, so check it out 

Sometimes a stranger can be your best friend 

Sometimes being angry is the best mood 

Sometimes seeing you feel good makes me feel even better 

Sometimes hunger is the best food 

Sometimes good just ain't good enough 

And other times evil will get you even 

Sometimes faith is not knowing any better 

Sometimes nothing is what you believe in 

Woah 

Sometimes I don't even want a hit 

Sometimes you fail trying 

And sometimes happiness hurts worse 

Sometimes people live dying 

Sometimes it's the last person that makes you first 

Sometimes you'll keep what you don't want 

And other times you'll give away what you really need 

Sometimes a rich man won't have a dollar 

And all a poor man has is greed 

Woah 

Sometimes 

Sometimes I just wanna listen 

Sounds good to me 

Yeah 

Ay yo Lock, put them strings right here 

Sometimes I don't think people know I'm as good as I really am 

Now my recitings are writing over rhythm's 

Regularly reinacts facts of my existance 

So what proof of my expertise, many emcees know of me 

Using unrequested serious infested poetry 

To prevoke what persistance 

For instance, I don't let the T.V. screen come in between my daily routine 

At a spot where me and my boy went 

Someone interrupted our enjoyment 

What do you know, an out of work emcee looking for employment 

But I'm still curteous with my greeting, brother I'm eating 

And his style sounded similar to someone elses 

So evidently he's been cheating 

But I couldn't question the destiny in which we meet 

So, you guessed it, I suggested that he just have a seat 

And then I explained to him that I remained in the mean time 

Mastering mysterious methods of writing 

Finding my piece of mind with soft music and moonlighting 

Then supernaturaly I forsee the beginning stages 

And then eventually pages get filled completely 

You see, I dive into the depths of my soul 

Seeking to explore the hidden treasure of a pure literature 

While these others are unsure 

Being that the deepness makes them doubtful 

Deliberatly delaying 

Saying they'll settle for whatever washes toward the shore 

Delirous from dilusion 

My feelings were no more direct so the conclusion is seclusion 

Because mixed belief create confusion 

To remain plain and simplistic, realistic 

Accurate, articulate and absolutely artistic 

Uninhibited, unadulterated, unstoppable 

Unfuckwittable and unforgettable 

But since I've been granted the power of choice 

Let God bet the voice he is 

So all the credibility be his 

So let these be words of wisdom and in the same breath be warning 

God I shine like Sunday morning 

Woah 

Sometimes 

See you next time
