Navajo Rugs Lyrics - De La Soul

Most them sleepers dreaming through this peace pipe 

Praying in the dark hoping that I see light 

Trynna stay sharp with a dark vision 

Gotta couple heathens with me trynna bombard the system 

My man just went to jail and brought a gun charge with him 

On top of that other felonies 

I told him hold his head I'll make sure he lives through these melodies 

I hate to see him trapped, wish these raps could just set him free 

Whoever thought selling heart would get you seventeen, that's seventeen 

I mean yesterday was everything if there's no hope for tomorrow 

And money ain't everything, I can go broke tomorrow 

Sometimes I find happiness in a broke down cigar 

In an isolated room on this Navajo wall 

Mind drifting, smoke disappearing through the wall 

I hear the loud voices, that's my homies calling 

Open up the windows, let the angels fall in

As I bob and weave between stars 

Learn and dream between Mars 

When words are weaved, pictures are painted 

Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets 

As I bob and weave between stars 

Learn and dream between Mars 

When words are weaved, pictures are painted 

Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets 

Got so much on my mind, all these thoughts weaving in and out created design 

So intricate like hand spun rugs 

They say they talking outside 

But I hear no love 

I feel the shots in my back 

But there's no slugs 

I brush the dirt off my shoulders 

Wipe away all the mug that's been slung 

They say the sword ain't as mighty as the tongue 

The horns get the attention 

But the war starts with the drum 

808s and low ends beating on my chest like King Kong 

Gorilla warfare, the force here 

You could feel it in the song 

All the warrior in this gone 

I sip Indian style wrapped' in blankets 

Smokin' on the bong, trynna find my inner peace 

Jugglin' stone, never take it for granted, what the struggle is for 

Cuz through that dark hole life is beautiful, like emeralds and gold 

There's diamonds in the dirt, you just gotta dig through some coal

As I bob and weave between stars 

Learn and dream between Mars 

When words are weaved, pictures are painted 

Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets 

As I bob and weave between stars 

Learn and dream between Mars 

When words are weaved, pictures are painted 

Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets 

I woke up among the confused, but yawning 

The bloodstream came to collect dues this morning 

For all the signs we drop, the parachute supplies 

Are limited, coated in images 

Yet the code of the streets leaves our thoughts with no access 

The revenue of colour, all reduced to a blackness 

But aside the thought, I can find the calm 

That's why we close our eyes to concentrate 

The cons debate, against the pros talking first degree 

Murder on the clock, they got time to kill 

I'm intricate to be up in it 

So I defend every minute, cons hoping for dimes to deal 

Perimeters occupied by a few chosen 

To take heed to the fact a few in here are posin' 

On the laws of lies, attracted to the warm like wool 

But don't let it get pulled over your eyes 

Oh, lord 

As I bob and weave between stars 

Learn and dream between Mars 

When words are weaved, pictures are painted 

Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets 

As I bob and weave between stars 

Learn and dream between Mars 

When words are weaved, pictures are painted 

Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets 

Distant like asteroids 

These last McCoys wanna pan until Aquarius is present 

Not a hand or crescent equivalent 

Does the world win when the world cringes from buckets of ice water 

that don't benefit mine or my people's ailments? 

Where heartache became a feeling, beneath every roof is a ceiling 

So I stay outdoors, acknowledge constellations, I call it a map 

They say, "Your head's in the cloud, Dave !" Well, that's a trap 

Imagine that, insults of a mind 

Healing a concubine appealing even though your queen good 

Your concept of a king could... 

Use a bit of a light, so you can see you the full light 

in her eyes; I was never the book worm 

But with reservations for the so-called facts, there's a book learned 

Pages over loud speakers, endowed features 

allows me to penetrate and smoke an L 

A rather peace pipe, dreams of divine beings of the Northern Nile 

I'm nice with it but you ignore the smile 

In reminisce of a higher learning 

I bow in greetings - Salaam, eyes closed give me affirm, firmly 

"I just wanna let everybody know, how much I love my dad 

and I appreciate everything he does for me 

And. Ohio will always be classic and live forever" 

"I know Ohio gonna be a classic and live forever 

P.S.: I wanna be JUST LIKE YOU when I grow up, I love you" 

"You made a classic, daddy! (One more time) 

You made a classic, daddy... OHIO WILL LIVE FOREVEEEEER !! 

(Don't scream like that, one more time now, one two three.) 

Ohio will LIIIIVE foreverrr! (Hahaha! Say "Ohio will live forever") 

Can I just, do a di' voice? (Regular voice, don't sing it) 

Heh. (Go ahead...) Ohio will live foreverrrrrr... (Hehe!)"
