The 'notic Lyrics - The Roots

This beautiful blend, I knew her through a mutual friend 

She was a work of art, a part of my heart from back then 

A brown skin singer, with a knack for actin, Alana's whole attraction 

Just fractionally based on surface, I got into her mental on purpose 

And with alertness, as I flirt with her emotion 

Walls we built up out of nervousness was broken 

I reminisce on how this Black Thought had her open 

Wit da energy that got the whole summertime smokin very hypnotized 

When it was time we spent time 

It's no way to rewind or prevent 

time from slipping away like day, into the dark 

and the way that things fall apart, will make some start 

to feel more, weak or insecure 

But for whatever reason our relationship remain mature 

Even when she caught feelings cuz I stay on tour 

As I reflect on before, and recap the situation 

I guess from experience, comes education 

We set on a path to opposite destinations 

It's best to chalk it up and add it to the elevation 

Then eventually flow on to lost communication 

I called but lost all information 

And with time forgot it, it's not like I'm all in tears about it 

But the fact still remains that I miss the Hypnotic

Chorus: repeat 2X 

You're a shinin' star 

No matter where you are 

For the world to see 

What you truly be 

She was the hypnotic, and potent as a narcotic 

the bizarre logic of it all, is why the clock tick 

pages of the calendar flip, we can't stop it 

time will either tell the tale, or turn a love toxic 

now was she real, or an illusion of this optical 

confusion with the accent of ancient Egypt 

or could it be that she's the one I was supposed to be with 

and together walked this twisted, staircase is somethin realistic 

damn, her lips having me addicted to her presence 

front page material on essence, a queen, imperial before her 

adolescence 

and as she grew into a woman she became refine 

I never knew another like her in my lifetime 

so now I travel through a tunnel of space, without a place 

on the face of this earth, with this pain gettin worse 

drivin me insane, or release I'm touchin the brink, of sanity 

to think of how I can link, or contact her 

I was a fool before, but more wise after the fact 

I'm analyzin how I'm wantin her back 

and wonderin exactly where she could be on the map 

I'm just sittin here spinning the world on one finger 

reoccuring thoughts of this brown skin singer 

yo, the psychotic, the hypnotic, yo check it out 

the most melodic hypnotic, yeah
