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.
I'm gonna take time. I'm gonna take time. I'm gonna take time. . Sure feels like I'm falling down again. Sure feels like I'm falling down again. Sure feels like I'm falling down again.
[mos def, kweli, background singers]. . (yes you areee, you're so beautiful). fantastic. (on your knees). absolutely fantastic. (in my life). absolutely fantastic.
Restless sinner, rest in sin. He's got no face to hold him in. He feels his day is dark as night. He's been waiting with the blind. Just to find a place to hide his ghost.
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.
Red eyes and tears no more for you my love I fear. Red eyes and tears no more for you my love I fear. No more fear, no more fear I'm in love. . Losing sensation for you my love I fear.
Son, I see it in your eyes. There is a burden you cannot hide. But in their arms you feel so alive. And in a moment you cast aside. . All lines have broken and we need you to hold on.
Against the canvas of the night. Appears a curious celestial phenomena. Called Black Star, but what is it?. . Black people unite and let's all get down.
On and on. I've been waiting on the open invitation. Your silence show me no relation. In the rising cold don't you feel alone?. . I'll be standing with your sorrow.
"I keep waiting to see who's gonna say the things I need to know. I keep waiting to see who's gonna say the things I need to know. I keep waiting to see who's gonna say the things am I alone.
Unii spun că sunt cu capu-n nori, că sunt rebel, că nu-s pe placul lor. Dar ei nu mă cunosc deloc. Unii spun că am inima rea, că nu iubesc decât persoana mea.
You wanna pick somethin up, you've gotta lay it down. You wanna turn somethin on, you gotta set it off. You wanna let something in, you've gotta tear it out.
Time stands too still. Left here there for the kill. But this hope that sorrow bleeds. Leaves a man with nothing. . There's just no mercy in your eyes.
[Talib Kweli]. We fantastic, flippin on tracks like gymnastics. Small brats get they ass kicked, me and Mos smash it. Top gun like what comes after the, fist rockin' knife.
Can you scream the words I could never hear?. Can you feel the silence begin to tear?. . But it just takes so much to make it real. That it hardly matters.
Never thought I'd see her go away. She learned I loved her today. Never thought I'd see her cry. And I learned how to love her today. Never thought I'd rather die.
Don't you try to explain all the words. That you've made for love. But you can't even pray. 'Cause the words make you frail and hollow. . Don't you cry to yourself.
The lost generation's taking hold. The last generation keeping score. Gonna wanna know who they're working for. You're gonna wanna know who you're working for.
Theres a lien on your dreams that keeps you going under. And a hole in the floor, drops us all together. You can fight all you like, theres no way to hide.
Here's to the babies in a blind new world,. Here's to the beauty of the stars. Here's to the travelers on the open world. Here's to the dreamers in the bars.
