love the lie and lie the love
Hangin' on, with a push and shove Possession is the motivation that is hangin' up the God-damn nation Looks like we always end up in a rut Tryin' to make it real - compared to what? Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs Twisted children killin' frogs Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs Tired old ladies kissin' dogs Hate the human, love that stinking mutt (I can't use it) Try to make it real - compared to what? The president, he's got his war Folks don't know just what it's for No one gives us rhyme or reason Have one doubt, they call it treason We're chicken-feathers, all without one gut Tryin' to make it real - compared to what? Church on Sunday, sleep and nod Tryin' to duck the wrath of God Preacher's fillin' us with fright Tryin' to tell us what he thinks is right He really got to be some kind of nut Tryin' to make it real - compared to what? Where's that bee and where's that honey? Where's my God and where's my money Unreal values, crass distortion Unwed mothers need abortion Kind of brings to mind ol' young King Tut (He did it now) Tried to make it real - compared to what? |

I wish I knew how, it would feel, to be free
I wish I could break, all the chains, holding me And I wish I could say, all the things, that I should say Say 'em loud, say 'em clear, for the whole world to hear I wish I could share, all the love, that's in my heart Remove all the bars, that keep, us apart And I wish you could know, what it means, to be me Then you'd see, and agree, that every man, should be free I wish I could give, I'm longing to give And I wish I could live, like I'm longing to live And I wish I could do, all the things I can do Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting to move Well I wish I could be, like a bird up in the sky How sweet it would be, if I found I could fly Well I'd soar to the sun, then I'd look down at the sea Then I'd sing cause I'd know Yes I'd, sing cause I'd know Sing cause I know I know I'm free, yeah Yeah I know I'm free... {*fades out*} |

They wait to plead their case, unknown cast aside.
I love to see their face, can we spare the light? Are we afraid to see the prisoners of history? These beautiful minds, trapped inside. Bring them back to life. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine on. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine on. So dark, but I see sparks, if we don't snuff them out. We gotta light them flame, let them speak their name. Let them reach up to the clouds. Can't eat if we don't feed them. Can't read if we don't teach them. There's no line if we just hide them. Don't just let 'em die. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine on. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine on. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine on. Oh stars flicker in the distance, lonely out in space. They sing out when we're not listening, because we don't see their face. We can let them die, we can make them high. Hold the little miracles that live inside. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine on. Let 'em live. Let 'em shine on. Let 'em read on. Let 'em shine on. Let 'em grow. Let 'em shine on. Come on, let them love. Come on, let them love. Come on, let them love. Yeah. Yeah (let them love) Hold them close, let them know they'll get through the night Ordinary people could be a hero, don't blow out the light. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine on. Let 'em shine. Let 'em shine on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let them shine on. These lyrics are not available for printing. |

But God, I know you have your reasons (Uh huh) [Verse 1] They said he's busy hold the line please Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read Who does the blind lead? Show me a sign please If everything is made in China, are we Chinese? And why do haters separate us like we siamese?

[Chorus]
I keep it doin' it again Oh, I'm doin' it again Yes, I'm doin' it again I said it would end Uh, remix, rising up out of the flames like a Phoenix Straining to carry the weight of my brain like a genius Knowing I'm sowing seeds; let's see whose thumb is the greenest If I said it, I mean it; I did it because I need it Eat, sleep it, or bleed it, write it down and then read it Asphalt to the cement, your trash talk delete it I blast off then lay 'em out like a Tempur-Pedic It's Black Thought; for certain I'm a win eventually This unsung, underrated, under-appreciated The one them underachievers had underestimated Finally graduated, I'm one of the most hated Something that's so sacred; nobody gon' take it Face it, I keep doin' it well Doin' it sans assistance is do it yourself Doin' it below the radar, we doin' it stealth Doin' it again for Illadelph; yo, who else? We gon' do it again [Chorus] Yeah, hey yo, I'm on a job; see my eyes focused where the prize be Even though they tried to rob me and sabotage the spot Just like 'Pac when they got him in the lobby Try to tax, you'll find me like Ronald Isley I's a changed man--ain't no if, ands, or probablies Niggas used to know me--they don't even recognize me Yup, the P-5-D is who the repertoire be Doin' it again just like Poitier and Cosby I'm like Martin Luther King, you like Rodney The difference is I give it everything inside me Dear diary, the fans still swear by me Even though I'm Late Night now like, "Here's Johnny" Swimming with them Great Whites now--that's where to find me Funny how it break right down, but never mind me Forever grimy, I guess it's just Philly shining Rock roller, bi-polar like Phyllis Hyman [Chorus] |

Uh, uh
Uh, uh-huh Out in the streets where I grew up First thing they teach us--not to give a fuck That type of thinking can't get you nowhere Someone has to care How I got over where the people come apart Don't nobody care about you; only thing you got is God Out here in these streets if you get down on your luck You can stand out with a hand out, but nobody give a fuck Out here in these streets every man is for himself They ain't helpin' no one else; it's a hazard to your health Livin' life in these cold streets Hey, who's worryin' 'bout you, babe When you whylin' out, runnin' 'round in these streets? Out in the streets where I grew up (how I got over) First thing they teach us is not to give a fuck (how I got over) That type of thinking can't get you nowhere (how I got over) Someone has to care Yo, when you on the corner, it's too much drama Livin' with the police right behind ya It's always more than a slight reminder We livin' in a war zone like Rwanda Before I go back to the Heavenly Father Pray for me if it ain't too much bother Whatever don't break me or make me stronger I feel like I can't take too much longer It's too much lyin' and too much flyin' I'm all cried out 'cause I grew up cryin' They all got a sales pitch I ain't buyin' They tryin' to convince me that I ain't tryin' We uninspired, we un-admired And tired and sick of being sick and tired Of livin' in the hood where the shots are fired We dyin' to live, so to live we dyin' You just like I am Out on the streets where I grew up (how I got over) First thing they teach us is not to give a fuck (how I got over) That type of thinking can't get you nowhere (somebody, somewhere) Someone has to care Somebody's gotta care And I swear it isn't fair In suspended animation, we ain't tryin' to go nowhere Out here in these streets We're so young and all alone We ain't even old enough to realize we're on our own Livin' life in these hard streets Where it's like they lost they mind Is there anyway to find Are we runnin' out of time out here? Listen Hey, who's worryin' 'bout you, babe When you whylin' out, runnin' 'round in these streets? Out on the streets where I grew up (how I got over) First thing they teach us is not to give a fuck (how I got over) That type of thinking can't get you nowhere (somebody, somewhere) Someone has to care [Chorus: x3] |

And the radio daze kept us in the dark And the satellite age brings us to the light Some feeling the pitch, some feeling the bite They ain't ready to talk, they're ready to fight Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) [Blu] Yo, so what you searching for? From birth Born hurting and yearning for certain somethings Lurking and murk them, got them turning this Bed into a coffin, burning over passions in this passion Or more or less over what the past done passed us Cause see, the past tense, it never really passes Phases that trap us and cage us like classes Fogging my glasses, lost in a mass mess Task-less dilemma to match somebody's status And I'm average as fuck, no car cats gassing me up Passing bucks like a casual blunt Granted, hustling habits on the stumble, the mansion While bums pass, asking for a buck for some bagged bricks Bad shit going down on the daily While bad chicks pass in a Mercedez, damn They see he's the bastard for chasing them Maybe, it's the patterns that make me that made me crazy [Dice Raw] And the radio daze kept us in the dark And the satellite age brings us to the light Some feeling the pitch, some feeling the bite They ain't ready to talk, they're ready to fight Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) [P.O.R.N.] Life is fiction, competition and contradiction Petty perceptions, window dressing for misdirection Love is a lotto, I know I know you know what I know Hope is so hollow, that's why winos follow the bottle And people pressure, make death a hidden treasure A girly pleasure, lonely language inside a letter It's now or never, move it, move it, love it or lose it 'Fore it's recruited, then included inside the stupid It's things of nature, paid a player and say your prayers Naysayers, the haters, the major players, the beggars You 'bout it, 'bout it, don't allow it to pow without it Then those who doubt it, do or die to death are cowards The world is yours, and the world we can't afford So ignore the law; start a fire, then start a war If you're sick and tired of your access denied Free will died long before Glydes and iPod [Dice Raw] And the radio daze kept us in the dark And the satellite age brings us to the light Some feeling the pitch, some feeling the bite They ain't ready to talk, they're ready to fight Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) [Black Thought] Yo, it's too much strain, phenomenal gain I'm going through things; headaches, abdominal pain Try'na numb it with that kettle like I'm from the Ukraine Check the blue flame, lighter running out of butane What's up with my destructive urge that's unproductive Choices I'm stuck with, now starting to fuck with Contaminating family and close friends Telling me to stop burning the candle at both ends Ain't like I'm on a coke binge, hanging in dope dens Or life is just a pool of Patron I'm soaked in The darker the covenant-slash-trainwreck for you to rubberneck You ain't felt the true pain yet so you be loving that Hit me up at black.gov like the government Banana Republican, alien intelligence Kill switch, real pissed, thinking of some ill shit The stone the builder refused, he need to build with Got immunized for both flus, I'm still sick Via satellite, radio, the realness [Dice Raw] And the radio daze kept us in the dark And the satellite age brings us to the light Some feeling the pitch, some feeling the bite They ain't ready to talk, they're ready to fight And the radio daze And the radio daze And the radio daze |

[Verse 1: Black Thought] Yo, in the land of the unseen hand that hold trouble Theorize your game - it's difficult to roll a double The struggle ain't right up in your face, it's more subtle But it's still comin' across like the bridge & tunnel vision I try to school these bucks, but they don't wanna listen That's the reason the system makin' it's paper from the prison And that's the reason we livin' where they don't wanna visit Where the dope slang & keep swayin' like Sonny Liston The money missin' & it's mouths to feed Get the brain kickin' thinkin' of a thousand things Remember back in the days, when the kitchen had eggs And pancakes, thickenin', greens and Kool Aid When the ‘fridgerator naked then the cupboard is bare People got to strip naked, stick ‘em up in the air Was it lies when they told you wasn't nothin' to fear? Somethin' Don't Feel Right out here. You know what I'm sayin'? Check it out.

[Verse 2: Black Thought] Look, my eyes open ‘cause I'm really a watchman And when I'm writin' my thoughts out, really I'm boxin' My main adversary in this silly concoction Freeze your face like bosilium toxin' If you ain't tryin' to get popped, then give me a option Helicopters choppin' from Philly to Compton The Jones' the Richardsons, the Smith's & the Johnson's If you ain't sayin' nothin' you the system's accomplice It should play with your conscience, do away with the nonsense I'm overseein' anything within' my circumference This ain't a press junket, I ain't seekin' responses I stand where the people got the heat in they pocket You mezmerized by the calm nonchalant-ness I spit a dark web, on some John Hitchcock shit If you ain't speakin' your life, your rhyme's adopted If it Don't Feel Right, then stop it. You know what I'm sayin'? It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I don't feel it no more Things don't feel right over here Lately I ain't been seein' clear It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more Seems to me now a days things have changed I don't know if I feel the same. [Verse 3: Black Thought] Yo' children workin' weapon producin' Natural disaster got the planet in a panic yo We all gots to make that livin' Sex, drugs, murder, politics & religion Forms of hustlin' watch who you put all your trust in Worldwide, we coincide with who sufferin' Who never had shit & ain't got nothin' But most strugglin' & make you wanna run up in the muh' fuckin' Hot zone for a piece of the cake back I can't work for it, I can certainly take that I'm fired up, thinkin' about the payback, except You fuck around & be a enemy of the state, black Ill, but that'd be too real for TV It's crazy when you too real to be free If you don't got no paper then steal this CD Listen man, I'll let you know how it feel to be me, it Don't Feel. It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I don't feel it no more Things don't feel right over here Lately I ain't been seein' clear It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more Seems to me now a days things have changed I don't know if I feel the same. |

[Black Thought]
Yeah, sitting in the staircase, holding back tears 그래, 계단에 앉아, 눈물을 삼키네 Looking over mad years worth of photographs 사진을 찍어도 될만한 정신없는 몇 년을 돌아봐 Pictures of some places I ain't never going back 절대 돌아갈 수 없는 곳들의 사진 Some people I used to love, why I ain't show them that? 내가 사랑하던 사람들, 왜 그런 맘을 내비추지 않았을까? The skies was overcast, when I was sober last 겨우 제정신을 차렸을 때, 하늘이 펼쳐져있더군 My head is spinning, couldn't tell you if it's slow or fast 머리가 빙빙 돌아, 그 속도가 느렸는지 빨랐는지는 잘 모르겠지만 It's starting to get too clear, I got to go and grass 이제 다 확실해지고 있어, 난 이제 풀밭으로 가야해(?) To y'all it's a shame but life is what we know it as 너네들에겐 부끄러운 일이지만, 삶이란 우리에게 Waiting, navigating the plot, without plans 기다림, 계획없이 계획을 탐색하는 것 In the cards, it's hard to read as a clock with no hands 그 카드는, 마치 바늘 없는 시계처럼 읽기가 힘들지 How your man's goin' get up and stop with no yams 어떻게 니 친구는 일어나서 아무것도 없이 멈춘대 All it take is one break, it could pop the program 필요한 건 휴식 한 번, 프로그램을 뒤집어놓을 수도 있지 Whether sinning or not, my back bending like I'm sendin' salaat 죄를 짓든 아니든, 난 마치 이슬람 교도가 인사하듯 등을 굽혀 I feel some brothers is beginning to plot 몇몇 형제들이 음모를 꾸미는군 It might have been a close friend I forgot 어쩌면 내가 잊어버린 친한 친구가 Who started up and ain't remember to stop 시작을 한 후 멈추는 걸 기억 못하는 건지도 I bet these niggaz going remember the shop 이 놈들은 그래도 쇼핑몰에 가는 건 기억할걸 [Hook] People think that I'm crazy, just cause I wanna be alone 사람들은 내가 미쳤다고 생각해, 혼자 있고 싶은 것 뿐인데 You can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze 힘든 상황을 벗어날 땐 친구들만 믿을 순 없잖아 We all deal with shit on our own 우린 모두 홀로 문제에 맞서 And sometimes the beef can grow, get out of hand 가끔 그 문제들은 너무 커져서, 손쓸 수 없게 될수도 있지 Yeah, you know it gets full blown 그래, 완전히 폭발해버리잖아 I never said that you mean the world to me 니가 내게 세상과 같은 의미라고는 말 안 했어 Maybe it's best that you never know 그냥 모르는게 나을지도 모르겠군 Yo, I'm like Malcom out the window with the weapon out Yo, 나는 마치 무기를 들고 창문 밖을 내다보는 Malcom과 같아 Searching for somehow to find a minute or the second now 1분 아니 1초라도 여유를 가지려고 노력하지 Precious time is money that I ain't got to mess about 소중한 시간은, 내가 멋대로 써버리지 않을 돈 Need it from the horse's mouth or from my eye with less account 말의 입이나 내 눈에서라도, 필요해 이유는 없어(?) Lessons with my back to the wall, scoping my session out 벽에 등을 기대고 배우는 레슨, 주변을 탐사하면서 Stay a little edgy at times when I ain't stressing bout 스트레스가 없을 땐 더 날카로운 상태로 Haters don't know shit about me, they the ones that talk shit 날 미워하는 놈들은 아무것도 몰라, 헛소리만 늘어놓지 Those that love me send it out, so I ain't got to force quit 날 사랑하는 이들은 겉으로 표현해, 그래서 난 포기 안할 수 있지 Cause I'm doing better now, don't mean I never lost shit 이젠 더 잘하고 있잖아, 물론 이전에라고 패배한 건 아니지만 말야 I was married to a state of mind and I divorced it, man 이런 마음의 상태와 결혼했다가 이혼했지 I'm from where brothers moving product from the porches 내 고향에선 형제들이 베란다에서 만든 물건을 팔아 People locking their doors, clutching to their crosses 사람들은 문을 잠그고, 십자가 목걸이를 꽉 쥐어 The block hot by the law, there ain't too many choices 공권력에 의해 달아오른 거리, 그다지 선택은 많지 않지 So what I do is for y'all, there ain't too many voices left 그러니 내가 너희를 위해 하는 것엔, 목소리가 많이 남아있지 않아 I watch my back, and watch my step 난 등뒤와, 내 발걸음을 조심해 And I might forgive, but I will not forget come on 용서할 줄은 알지만, 잊지는 않을거야, 이리 와 [Hook] Yo, living in turbulent times The blind leading the blind Yo, 혼란의 시대, 장님이 장님을 이끄네 Some call it evolution, some say intelligent design 몇몇은 진화라고 일컫고, 몇몇은 지능적인 디자인이라 말해 You say you want a revolution, you out of your mizind 혁명을 원한다고? 미친게 틀림없군 Your sons' destitute, and their pops all in the prison 니 아들들은 가난하고, 그들의 아버지는 감옥에 있는데 My man's back in the jam, he like the back of my hand 내 친구는 음악으로 돌아왔어, 마치 내 손등과 같은 존재 He just attracted to scam, he right back in the can 잠시 더러운 것에 매혹되었지만, 바로 귀환한거야 I never sleepwalking, you dig You get your shuteye 난 절대 몽유병이 없어, 알겠어? 니 눈은 감겨있네 *움직일 때는 항상 깨어있다는 말이죠-_- I'm on the first thing in, I'm leaving on the red-eye 첫 순서로 들어와, 눈이 빨개져선 돌아가 My brother back in rehab, just had another relapse 내 형제는 다시 재활 센터에, 방금 재발했거든 But fin himself, it's been like he's been fighting an inner Jihad 하지만 곧 끝날거야, 마치 몸 속에서 성전을 치르는 것 같지 Telling me ain't nobody true when they pretend to be that 내겐 누구나 가장할 뿐 진실하지는 않다고 말하네 So closer than friends, that's where I keep my enemy at 내 적들은 항상 내 친구보다 가까이에 있지 To many parties concerned, it's time to live it and learn 관련된 파티들에게, 이젠 분위기를 띄우고 배울 시간 Until we're able to grow, forever bridges we burn 우리가 성장할 때까지, 영원히 다리를 태운다 My thoughts free as a bird, that's just about to emerge 내 생각은 새처럼 자유로워, 이제 곧 한 마리 더 날아갈거야 And every action is heard, it speaks louder than words, yo 또 모든 행동이 네 귀에 들리지, 내 말보다 더 크게 말하니까 말야 *Action speaks louder than words(행동이 말보다 중요하다. 직역하면 '행동이 단어보다 크게 말한다')라는 속담을 인용한 구절입니다.

[Verse One: Black Thought] Yo, piss in the staircase, blood on the pavement I fill the quills with it let it spill on the pages Compose another anthem for the killers and manglers Villains and wranglers, fifth still in the chamber Shit, I'm scientific but my reflex's gangsta Pull out-rageous arms from the floor of the basement Then bust 'nuff talons if my peoplez in danger I'm Larry Davis, duckin' helicopter, hoverin' government agents We muscle the language What we spit will leave your shit in utter amazement I'm hot brolic call it contagious The shit the Roots started got these other artists going through changes My vision is the strangest, the rhythm is anguish Y'all niggaz on the titty in your formative stages Is something in the iris and the way I spit That tell these other crab rappers I ain't fo' no shit Black traumatic, so there you have it My battin' average, abort full of graphic assault, it's all classic Thought, put ass-backwards rappers in a small package Experience is all that is, I'm well established Me and the mic in holy matrimony like a marriage The technique in your reach, if only you could have it For me it's automatic, it's na-tu-ral, I'm mad thoro Poet for hired pack metal You feel me? [Chorus] [Verse Two: Black Thought] Yo, the load heavy We walk around a little edgy, all ready and steady Withdrawal like Darryl Strawberry, it figures Niggaz mad from them ghetto sandwiches and swine Cryin' hard times, disadvantegeous, ma |

[Chorus: Kweli & Dice Raw]
Downtown everybody move to the beat Uptown everybody moving the heat Cross-town the party where both sides meet Eastside, westside, there's always beef X2 [Kweli] I tattoo the page with the permanent ink Mr. Rourke on your Fantasy Island The umbrella in your tropical drinks Still run it up it, liquor in your cup Fucking you up Hang over the banister You feel the rush of the blood going straight to your brain Ain't no love, you only love bringing hate to the game Taking my name in vain, mistaking license for freedom He make music for the people, people dying to meet him People! We still abuse it, while the rich is made of music He probably driving a Buick and be rocking van ? G-you-E relevant, see how his man do it Fucking with niggas from illa fifth, see how we ran through it The river in the valley The nigga in the alley Rolling with the heat from BK to killer Cali The hands will fake the clapping You'll be collasping You softer than the land on legs Transforming the landscape Like a sandstorm in the Sahara I am the truest nigga I do more shows than The Roots to Carol Lewis Creative artist, never play the targets of game hunters You may want to test this product like cane smugglers Dis disco shit Popping like Crisco Hitting your face Spit in your face like pistol shit My style, wild like wipple whip I go back like a pistol grip It's pro-black, Kweli!

Listen, I got you phobic off of this like arachnids Drastic, it ain't plastic it's Pro-Blackness Grown man tactics, no pediatrics the kind of track that make the comeback miraculous the catalyst, Thought with the knack for splashin' I'm dashin' I mastered the craft of mashin' The level-headed throughbred, the female's passion Mag-netic attraction be keepin' them askin' The crews in the Cadillacs with the Pendergrassin' Swerve half-naked, won't come near crashin' But if I go to heaven, would y'all know my name or would it be the same for you like I was Eric Clapton, huh? Clap for you freedom dog, that's what's happening My spit take critical political action The hustle is a puzzle each piece is a fraction And every word that's understood is a transaction I'm an S.P. soldier, microphone holder Rep Philly set from Bolivia to Boulder Paris, France to Tip and Tioga How we gonna make it through the dark, I show ya [Chorus: Black Thought |

In town [Repeat; x 3]
Something in the way of things Something that will quit and won't start Something you know but can't stand Can't know get along with Like death Riding on top of the car peering through the windshield for his cue Something entirely fictitious and true That creeps across your path hallowing your evil ways Like they were yourself passing yourself not smiling The dead guy you saw me talking to is your boss I tried to put a spell on him but his spirit is illiterate I know things you know and nothing you don't know 'cept I saw something in the way of things Something grinning at me and I wanted to know, was it funny? Was it so funny it followed me down the street Greeting everybody like the good humor man But an they got the taste of good humor but no ice cream It was like dat Me talking across people into the houses And not seeing the beings crowding around me with ice picks You could see them But they looked like important Negroes on the way to your funeral Looked like important jiggaboos on the way to your auction And let them chant the number and use an ivory pointer to count your teeth Remember Steppen Fetchit Remember Steppen Fetchit how we laughed An all your Sunday school images giving flesh and giggling With the ice pick high off his head Made ya laugh anyway I can see something in the way of our selves I can see something in the way of our selves That's why I say the things I do, you know it But its something else to you Like that job This morning when you got there and it was quiet And the machines were yearning soft behind you Yearning for that nigga to come and give up his life Standin' there bein' dissed and broke and troubled My mistake is I kept sayin' "that was proof that God didn't exist" And you told me, "nah, it was proof that the devil do" But still, its like I see something I hear things I saw words in the white boy's lying rag Said he was gonna die poor and frustrated That them dreams walk which you 'cross town S'gonna die from over work There's garbage on the street that's tellin' you you ain't shit And you almost believe it Broke and mistaken all the time You know some of the words but they ain't the right ones Your cable back on but ain't nothin' you can see But I see something in the way of things Something to make us stumble Something get us drunk from noise and addicted to sadness I see something and feel something stalking us Like and ugly thing floating at our back calling us names You see it and hear it too But you say it got a right to exist just like you and if God made it But then we got to argue And the light gon' come down around us Even though we remember where the (light or mic??) is Remember the Negro squinting at us through the cage You seen what I see too? The smile that ain't a smile but teeth flying against our necks You see something too but can't call its name Ain't it too bad why'all said Ain't it too bad, such a nice boy always kind to his motha Always say good morning to everybody on his way to work But that last time before he got locked up and hurt, real bad I seen him walkin' toward his house and he wasn't smiling And he didn't even say hello But I knew he'd seen something Something in the way of things that it worked on him like it do in will And he kept marching faster and faster away from us And never even muttered a word Then the next day he was gone You want to know what You want to know what I'm talkin' about Sayin' "I seen something in the way of things" And how the boys face looked that day just before they took him away The is? in that face and remember now, remember all them other faces And all the many places you've seen him or the sister with his child Wandering up the street Remember what you seen in your own mirror and didn't for a second recognize The face, your own face Straining to get out from behind the glass Open your mouth like you was gon' say somethin' Close your eyes and remember what you saw and what it made you feel like Now, don't you see something else Something cold and ugly Not invisible but blended with the shadow criss-crossing the old man Squatting by the drug store at the corner With is head resting uneasily on his folded arms And the boy that smiled and the girl he went with And in my eyes too A waving craziness splitting them into the jet stream of a black bird Wit his ass on fire Or the solomNOTness of where we go to know we gonna be happy I seen something I SEEN something And you seen it too You seen it too You just can't call it's name name name name name name name |
