A one-one, two one two
On & on & on & on Wake the fuck up ‘cause it’s been too long Say wait a minute, Queen What’s your name I be that gypsy Flippin?life game from the right brain Ascension maintained Rolling through like a burning flame Like a super nova star She be the light When they in the dark Morning The moon pass the sun Four constellations start forming Across up in the sky But everybody wanna ask me why What good do your words do If they can’t understand you Don’t go talkin?that shit Badu, Badu What good do your words do If they can’t understand you Don’t go talkin?that shit Badu, Badu Said I’m a Pisces Zika deka del Well well I’m raising hell People always tryin?to find the world I’m in I’m the envy of the women and I rule the men 2 fish, 1 swimmin?up stream 1 swimmin?down livin?in a dream But when she loves she tends to cling When incense burns, smoke unfurls Analog girl in a digital world The rasta style flower child Zip dip dow, zip dip dow The gold tooth smile Split them vowels Bling bloom bling, melinated I’m ‘bout ta give birth to church But everybody want to ask this earth What? What good do your words do If they can’t understand you Don’t go talkin?that shit Badu, Badu What good do your words do If they can’t understand you Don’t go talkin?that shit Badu, Badu I remember when I went With Momma to the Washateria Remember how I felt the day I first started my period Remember there in school one day I learned I was inferior Water in my cereal Badu in your stereo Holla if you hear me though Remembering is good if you don’t Let it be the fear in you Wrap ya head with this material Cause you did not do your math My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone Mad props to god ja born Things just ain’t the same for singers Gotta sing on the beat the bring us But that’s all I have ain’t got no mo But still the people really wanna to know What good do your words do If they can’t understand you Don’t go talkin?that shit Badu, Badu What good do your words do If they can’t understand you Don’t go talkin?that shit Badu, Badu |

Yeah! Yeah! [Common] Nigga deep in the rhythm, experience speak Some keepin’ the wisdom, the life hustlers seek I seeking it with em, i’m dope the streets need me to hit em With some of that (revolutionary rap) Revolutionary blunted rap My peoples want hits, I hit it from the back Under the cherry moon, I hold notes and carry tunes My guise pack heat enough to bury June, on my feet Im getting married soon, walking in the clouds like Mary Bethune Fumes of a real nigga seep into your room Or through fifthteens of the your jeep that you boom Son so many cats, they call me high noon Offerings to Osun hoping war is over soon Guard your grill like George Foreman Time to build, as far as building im the doorman, opening doors My blood I expose on the floors, tell them the game aint only the score Hold on to your life as I carry these styles To have you tapping your head like Darius Miles You aint supposed to rhyme, better off with a clothing line In this business of pimps, many hoes get signed Opposed to shine so me holding the blinds Mixing golden seal and wine, holding a nine In the age of aquaruis... [Chorus] (Singing) The water that arrives (ba-ba ba ba) To purify the world (du-ba ba ba) Flying through the night (du ba-ba ba ba) So watch out here he comes ( du-du ba ba ba) Aquarius! (echoes) [Common] Between churches and liquor stores, my mic leaks With raps, all over your head like Tweet Playing with yourself, thinking the game is just wealth Hot for a minute, watch your name just melt Same spot where it’s joyous, where the pain is felt As you build and destroy yo remain yourself They say im slept on, now im bucking in dreams And rhyme with the mind of a hustler scheme Or the struggle of feinds, I flow over water thats as troubled as teens For the love of the team, trying to double the dream Be greatful like the chruch psalm my grandmother sings Im rubbing my rings across the domes of clones Punchlines like Roy Jones with poems While you and your dogs foam at the mouth Thinking rap is the only way out The black human genius will never play out I take you way out, where you never been before Been it since birth, sent to replish the Eatrh That truck that you roll is like a miniature hearse I deaded your shit before you finished a verse From niggas to gods from bitches to earths From Nat to Truck Turner that lives in my verse Realness is an act that you cannot rehearse Holla back, but listen first We in the age of aquarius...

phone rang, screen said caller ID said blocked, but for some reason i decided to answer it. on the other end was a french accent. he told me we needed to rap quick, cause he had did some bad shit, and would be gone for years, spending these last two days, with his momma and his kids when he spoke I wasn't trying to hear it ,cause I knew he was a real good person, and this didn't seem like it was in his spirit. he couldnt believe as much as i couldnt, what he done . he said now its time for him to turn himself in. no longer could he run, from life, from God. start thinkin, why is doing right is so hard. I got back to him when we was inLondon discussin the new testament and how our lives related to it, and how we could make the best of it. my voice became destined, so I asked him why you gotta go. he said you know turn to Matthew 24 he said no one knows the hour, nor do they know the day, but the kingdom is near, don't let anything lead you to stray. as long as God is with you, everything will be okay. so right about then,we decided to pray.

Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo, ye yo
(Help me) Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo, ye yo... Sometimes, Sometimes I get so lonely, lonely, lonely I feel all by myself up here That's when I take a minute To re-evaluate things All of the things I think are special Oooh like When you wake up in the morning And you see the morning sun And you need to know the world is on your side Who do you run to Who can you turn to Come on Then the evening comes to greet you You need someone to hold you close And you feel you need to rest your aching mind Who can you run to Who can you turn to Well see the sun's in the east and the moon reflects Like the knowledge and wisdom, I manifest If you wanna go to heaven lay up on my breast I'm ye yo, you're ye yo I say the sun's in the east and the moon reflects Like the knowledge and wisdom, I manifest If you wanna go to heaven lay up on my breast I'm ye yo, you're ye yo Ye yo, ye yo, ye yo.....

Yeah..
Doo-doo-doo, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.. Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo YO.. I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this Gotta be somethin for me to write this Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too Because of you, feelings I handle with care Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts If relationship is effort I will match your work I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most They say the end is near, it's important that we close.. .. to the most, high Regardless of what happen on him let's rely There are times.. when you'll need someone.. I will be by your side.. There is a light, that shines, special for you, and me.. Yo, yo, check it It's important, we communicate and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch I never call you my bitch or even my boo There's so much in a name and so much more in you Few understand the union of woman and man And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light If heaven had a height, you would be that tall Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall For better or worse times, I hope to me you call So I pray everyday more than anything friends will stay as we begin to lay this foundation for a family - love ain't simple Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually Granted we known each other for some time It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine There are times.. when you'll need someone.. I will be by your side, oh darling There is a light, that shines, special for you, and me.. Yeah.. yo, yo, check it It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh Suggestin beats I should rhyme to At times when I'm lost I try to find you You know to give me space when it's time to My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence The time we committed love it was real good Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal it's how I must treat you As my reflection in light I'ma lead you And whatever's right, I'ma feed you Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace There are times.. when you'll need someone.. I will be by your side.. There is a light, that shines, special for you, and me.. (I'll) take my chances.. before they pass.. .. pass me by, oh darling.. You need to look at the other side.. You'll agree.. |
