I've got something with me My soul's kinda gritty Now do I lie or run away
Engine engine #9 You get your way Or I'll get mine Sure as the sun will shine each day
Just like the apple Temptress sets in I win you're tackled Shackles on my feet won't let me move
Not soft but supple Come with all you got My wings won't ruffle Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose
<i>[Chorus:]</i> In my house the moon still shines in the day But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay In my house feel free to dance like it's May But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
Tell me can you here me No more sittin pretty Ain't gone to shun my heart this time I know when it really matters It'll be me Alone and regrets will be none
Just like the apple Temptress sets in I win you're tackled Shackles on my feet won't let me move Not soft but supple Come with all you got My wings won't ruffle Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose
<i>[Chorus]</i>
I'll be on my own It don't matter I'm grown I won't be singin' no sad song in the lay And if I rub you wrong Baby I come on strong I got no mind to cushion what I say
(Talib Kweli) Yeah! Come on! What it is It's the P-l-a-n-e-t R-o-c-k Kweli, BK, se-la-vis You could tell I be hell-a-free like college radio WQHT gonna play me though this hot shit is to fly like the cockpit got spit like a french kiss chicks lock lips coming from the deep black like the Loch Ness now bring apocalypse like the heart of darkness it's like the heart of the artist become a target pop music is the black market recently we witness bizarre shit the war hit the same time as SARS hit terrorists send bombs at the concert the show must go on yo regardless I'm just some hip-hop kid to pop shit and get on some rock shit and start a mosh pit
(Hook) Yeah We got the beat to make the planet roooccccckkk (Come on, Come on) Yeah, Come on We got the beat to make the planet rooocccckkkk (Come on, Come on)
(Talib KWeli) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah We got the planet to rock, Kweli's standing on top I'm like a panther when I answer to cops and bust back before the man get a shot and the blood on their veins run cold like the cannibal lox and bring heat like the blood of the mammal that's hot and keep fighting like the boy with the mechanical heart and watch time count down on the hands of the clock till the hour when the pinnacle start wow, and go fast like the bullet that ran through the dark the hollow tip ripped a man apart, blaow yo these soldiers die in petroleum wars think they fighting for the holiest cause it don't matter if you muslim, hebrew, or you a christian information is the newest religion, is a true way of living ain't no rule to a superstition stop me with going through with my mission come on man

(Chorus: Res - repeat 2X) Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do? Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin new Where do we go for inspiration? It's like pain is our only inspiration
(Talib Kweli) Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl No one to hold 'em while they growin They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is And I may say some things that you don't like to hear I know this: that people lie, people kneel People die, people heal, people steal, and people shed tears What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise Above me, trust me, it must be, morning - time Wake up, the stakes up Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew But when the karma come back for what you do It's too late to make up - some excuse
(Chorus)
(Talib Kweli) I come from people who stronger than time and space Wherever there's competition you gonna find the race I find a place in my heart for this hip-hop And pump blood through my vein my skin get hot I take you very serious and make you write more If I don't celebrate I got nothing to fight for I'm tight raw, excite y'all like nightfall I'm tight y'all, I walk the street like y'all About action, talk is cheap, right y'all? You start yappin' think about the beef you might cause The trouble you could get into You don't study, you not prepared and cats is testin you What you gonna do when you gotta face The manifestation of the words that you put in space They already there you cant take 'em out The studio gangsta inside you tryin' to break out
(Chorus)
(Talib Kweli) Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl No one to hold 'em while they growin They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is And I may say some things that you don't like to hear I know this: that people lie, people kneel People die, people heal, people steal, and people shed tears What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise Above me, trust me, it must be, morning - time Wake up, the stakes up Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew But when the karma come back for what you do It's too late to make up - some excuse

I feel so nice just when you're here The reason why is not so clear I knew the first time when you told me I'd fall in love just as you'd hold me
And now I want to stay at your side tonight I want to watch you as the sun lights up your eyes I want to know when you wake first thing you see is me You're all the things I prayed that I'd meet
<i>[Chorus:]</i> Ride, ride this wave of mine There're brighter things out on the other side Ride, ride this wave of mine I know that things are going to be alright
Moments they come and then they go You'll feel so high and then before you know I could of sworn our future was set in stone But I guess some things it's just as well for God to know
So now I concentrate on turning wrong to right I'm going to let go things I held inside so tight I'm going to live and let forgive things said in spite Clear out the smoke and usher in the light
And when the sun runs out No doubts left standing We'll see if Jah wills that we're alone again Let love slip through our fingers I say
Live up, live up, live up I wanna get up Instead I give up Sometimes life dictates what we hate
<i>[Chorus:]</i> And when the sun runs out No doubts left standing (who knows if it'll go our way) And when the sun runs out No doubts left standing (Isha Allah it'll be okay)
And when the sun runs out No doubts left standing Would it be different if we knew we would win Let love slip through our fingers I say Live up, live up, live up Sometimes Even the season's change All patterns rearrange
<i>[Chorus]</i>
You must be an angel 'Cause things made sense Before you came Now I'm left without my shell And still life goes on Though it's rough now
Maybe I'm an angel too Let you know your heart is true You know the line I am your cue
<i>[Chorus:]</i> One of these days the gig is up Shouldn't we take the time now To show our love
Yeah, I got the blues again My mistake Tell me did you see the end coming Now I'm searching for a sign But looking back there're only good times Now I'm on the road again My soul aches It's clear that match won't work for me And now though things don't seem so hot I know I gave him all the love I got
Bye-bye roses I got me a hand that's bitter sweet But I don't care I've known the garden
Bye-bye roses I got me a hand that's bitter sweet But no regrets I've known the garden
<i>[Chorus]</i>
She was always my best friend Never late and coffee ice cream made her smile Now she's left and gone away And I'm here by myself another day And though I'll miss her to no end My heart breaks Tell me did she see the end coming At least I know it was sunny All the time that she spent with me
Bye-bye roses I got me a hand that's bitter sweet But I don't care I've known the Garden
Bye-bye roses I got me a hand that's bitter sweet But no regrets I've known the garden
Look, as far as I can see Your head is blockin' my TV What you want for me to say I said, "Whatever, go away"
What is it that I adore If you pay me then I'll tell you more You're looking for some reason why I'm arrogant (That's right) And I'll tell you what
Hey, sometimes that's how I do (That's just how I do and that's just how I do) And if you feel that bad Maybe it's not for you
Hey, sometimes that's how I do (That's just how I roll and that's just how I stroll) And if you feel that bad Maybe it's not for you
A dead-end street from what I can tell Long as you're not there, it might be swell Pakced a picture perfect apple pie For a cherry-poppin' spring joyride
To get inside This head of mine Would take a monkey wrench And a lot of wine
And if you're wondering 'Bout this life I choose Grab a mirror Take one look at you
Hey, sometimes that's how I do (That's just how I do and that's just how I stroll) And if you feel that bad Maybe it's not for you
Hey, sometimes that's how I do (That's just how I roll, and that's just how I do) And if you feel that bad Maybe it's not for you
And I can't tell you why The people act so crazy And if I say I won't go They tell me I'm damn lazy
Don't understand No conviction for nothin' Just keep their heads noddin' Keep that head noddin'
Hey, sometimes that's how I do (That's just how I do and that's just how I roll my stroll) And if you feel that bad Maybe it's not for you
Hey, sometimes that's how I do (That's just how I do and that's just how I stroll) And if you feel that bad Maybe it's not for you (For you)
Although you're an Ice King Everything that you gave to me Comes from the destitute and the torn I can't live this life no more Just another wasted on Like a fallen star in Babylon You said I was your princess baby I told you certain things you can't possess So let me go let me go Cause I
<i>[CHORUS]</i> I've given until I break The ground beneath us quakes How can we grow when we've only begun Forsaken beneath the sun Although I've seen your wickedness I still love your effervesence And I know that loving you dont't make no sense But I guess that's why I like it Just another priceless pawn All our dreams are now forgone You said I was your princess baby I told you certain things you can't possess So let me go let me go
<i>[CHORUS]</i> I've given until I break The ground beneath us quakes How can we grow when we've only begun Forsaken beneath the sun
Now for all the times you must go Notice all the things you leave So what's behind that stare Am I there with you
And as you turn to walk away I can't help it I can't help but feel those instincts That want to dance with me
<i>[Chorus:]</i> Silhouette is painted on the wall How many times can I say that I miss you And everybody wants to know what's wrong It's just the 700 mile situation
Why don't you tell me what you're scared of You make me breathe so easy And I'm a mess with reminders of you I often wonder where you are sometimes I close my eyes and picture it for a while I rise, awake to find myself without you
<i>[Chorus]</i>
No one can tell me I don't know About the ins and outs of how it goes Impulse traveler Why can't you stay with me tonight What's your soul taste like baby
And all them tell me I should take it slow Don't want to find myself too deep in so I keep stumbling Pulling back while my dreams propelling Don't hold back My constitution's crumbling
I wanna try that pill that people take Make you believe all the things that people say Sick of shuckin' 'round with a screwed up face With my heels dug in trying to leave a trace Now come on put me down somehow How you lose your faith (just take my hand and lead me where you wanna)
<i>[Chorus:]</i> Pay no more mind to what you think you've seen It's as they do only Say what they say 'Cause there's only one way They-Say Vision It takes you back to just where you want Like when you ain't know no way
Industry's down think I've died and I've flown away So so long to them thieves who came and took all the things to say I play the joker sometimes but then those moments slide back my way 'Cause for real I'd give my soul away Give it all away (so take my hand and lead me where you wanna)
<i>[Chorus]</i>
I know where they all go find someplace Where they don't mind loafing about the waste
They-Say Vision takes you back to where no conscience Free from how you really see
And if you think that you know Take the back road They got you where they want They got you
Why are you selling dreams of who you wish you could be A prince in all of the magazines They'd have no words for the man I've seen Talk real fast 'fore they see your face
And would they love you if they knew all the things we know We've got these images We need them to be true Not ready to believe we're no more insecure than you
[Chorus:] But then there're girls like me who sit appauled by what we've seen We know the truth about you Now you're the prince of all the magazines That is a dangerous thing
But would they love you if they knew all the things that we know Those Golden Boys All a fraud don't believe their show Would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
Golden Boy life ain't a video
Place you in these robes and tell you you're the greatest man And you believe and play your cards Got dealt a winning hand Don't you get tired of the show The kissin' ass of all the people that you wanna know
When I was young I thought you had it won I saw you on T.V. you made life look fun But then years go by and people grow I realize it's all a freak show
[Chorus]
Girls like me don't need no bubblin' mindstate thrown in my face The way you goin' ain't gonna be no stroll in the sunshine Can't turn it back now baby you gone and past that line So give it on up now What you gonna do
