Definitely a miracle...honey you and me...

M-M-M-Make a miracle!

From the midwest to the west coast and dream
The outcast that came out so fresh and so clean
And I must confess I don't know everything
But I know what I know, you know what I mean
It's like the stars aligned, every thousand bars, a rhyme
But the right words is hard to find
So I finish lines 'till the finish line's in sight
Just imagine if I actually had the time to write
Maybe then I'd finally get to where I figured I'd be
Not religious, but I sense something bigger than me
Only problem is it's hard to understand it like broken English
So I paint my own canvas with this spoken genius
Something told me my destiny manifests
The best of me stands the test of time
So I took a leap of faith, something like a steeple chasing
Climbed back in the saddle, trying to keep the pace
They say it's...

(Chorus)
Definitely a miracle...
They say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
If it changed then it's
Definitely a miracle...
I say it is what it is
If nothing, it go, go, go
Definitely a miracle...
What you see if what you get, I am what I am
And I feel like it's
Definitely a miracle...
What's it gonna take?
You and me...

I know it sounds crazy
Crazy to think it could change, but just maybe
Maybe you'll blink and the strange, right before your own eyes
Like water to wine, the ignorant grown wise, the rise and fall
If I could break bread with five thousand heads
Take every man's shoes, walk a mile and tread
It's like sight for the blind, a voice for the dumb
A symphony for the deaf, embrace for the numb
Feel it, what if rappers stopped acting hard
When in fact they're scarred, would it really take an act of God
Is he even listening? What if y'all stopped believing?
Christian, Muslim, Jew
What if people start casting votes? Stop casting stones
Dead beef, get to acting grown
And their kids stopped killing for a fistful of Lincolns?
Probably just wishful thinking
But I feel like it's...

(Chorus)

I don't know where to start, I guess it's like my closing remarks
Sort of like the way a firefly glows in the dark
Sort of like Elizabeth Jennings before Rosa Parks
Like, humble beginnings before the flow sparks
Now the fires lit, it's so hard to explain why I spit
It's like who gon' fix things if I quit?
Tell me that, who gon' cross the line
Provoke thoughts in the minds I touched
And I ain't much for freestyle, I'd much rather freehand
Or free minds, see the free world in my free time
Man, ain't nothing free, getting at heads like parting the Red Sea
If we're ever debt free then it's...

(Chorus)

M-M-M-Make a miracle (x4)

Definitely a miracle...honey you and me...

M-M-M-Make a miracle!

From the midwest to the west coast and dream

If I only knew then what I know now
shit would be so wild
mind of a man, soul of a child
no clouds could rain on me
no cuts or scrapes could leave blood stains on me
just imagine
how to side step the critics, understand my own limits
embrace the fire when I'm thrown in it
move with supreme confidence, through every team in the conference
reconcile dreams of common sense, dominant
no fears or insecurities, appreciate the impurities
build on that, never second guess it, never neglect the lesson
on every endeavor I bless the session, man
y'all dont know the half of it, trying to make my renditions accurate
hoping I can capture it for y'all, but now it's like today is my four walls

yesterday...
yesterday is gone...

{*cuts from Nas 'One Mic'*}
no time for lookin back...
no time for lookin back...
no time for lookin back... it's done

yo, put my best foot forward, took two steps, toward the opposite
back and forth with things, saw a lotta shit
and I was under pressure, now I'm on top of it
so now I'm taking all I can get
my getaway hit the fork in the road and took the scenic route
'tween me and you, it brought the phoenix out of me
so partner you can hate me or love me, cause I might have been wrong
but my heart was pure, still, I cant say I dont have regrets
made mistakes I that wont soon forget, expectations I haven't met
and yet, I wouldn't trade this moment, pray for atonement
take me for what I am, a romantic but I'm not hopeless
writing my magnum opus, either you're high pysch, or lose focus
if you let it, some of y'all will never get it, holding on to...

yesterday...
yesterday is gone...

{*cuts from Nas 'One Mic'*}
no time for lookin back...
no time for lookin back...
no time for lookin back... it's done

I guess that you could say we got a history together
so I can never forget her, not bitter
matter of fact sometimes I still hit it
seduced by the way that she call to come hither
but I found out the first time I did her
I'll never fall in love with her, she gone break your heart
make a mark, leave, and never come back
and its hard to say goodbye to her, nobody knows her like I knew her
see she one of a kind, just a free spirit, embodied by these lyrics
to some, she's not pretty, to me she's beautiful
cause she made me what I am and taught me to be strong
so even when she's gone, her memory lives on
and over time eventually we lost contact, despite that
I gotta admit, I'm still attached, but I can't take her back
cause who I'm talking about is...

yesterday...
yesterday is gone...

{*cuts from Nas 'One Mic'*}
no time for lookin back...
no time for lookin back...
no time for lookin back... it's done

I was so lonely though there was so many symbols waiting
I'm so glad that this ain't that
You are the only reason I can make it
through the long long day, and that's a fact
Baby, I can't wait to get next to you
Oh, I can't wait to wrap my arms around your body
Baby I can't help but tell the truth
Oh, it's so hard to wait til no one else is around
Gonna try to keep myself together
Til I find myself in you baby no no
Before they take you back to heaven
Gonna find myself in you, no no
I hate to keep waiting
But there are some things that need my attention before I can get b ack to you
Anticipating my hands all over you body baby
You know I know just work to do
And baby I can't wait to get next to you
Oh, I can't wait to wrap my arms around your body
Baby I can't help but tell the truth
Oh, it's so hard to wait til no one else is around
I'm gonna try to keep myself together
Til I find myself in you baby no no
Before they take you back to heaven
Gonna find myself in you, no no, no no baby
The only place I want to be is right here with you
Loving you down and you
You can take what you want from me
No else'll let me
Have you around
I'm gonna try to keep myself together
Til I find myself in you, oh baby
Before they take you back to heaven
Gonna find myself in you, oh baby
I'm gonna keep myself together
Til I find myself in you
Oh, baby, baby
Before they take you back to heaven
Gonna find myself in you
Listen, listen

Introducing the self-proclaimed
Most underrated, self-contained
Next big thing to hit your local record store shelves and change
Me and mine came through to help the game
With or without the wealth and fame
Not a selfish aim
Even tightened up my belt and came
A little close to the edge
And still ain't dealt with thangs
That's why, if felt like it was time
I had a feeling y'all felt the same
So double-check the way you spelt the name
Capital M-O-V-E dot little M-E-A-N-T
Not what you expected
But what you been missing, just listen
Motherfuckers can't front on this man
We're everyground, Just Beats provide heavy sounds
Open the floodgates, break the levy down
Type agenda, with the number one mic contender
Yours truly, Champ, the world-class writer
Accompanied by the one and only DJ Spider
My man, best believe there's big things in the plans
And I ain't talking 'bout starting a record label or clothing line
I'm talking 'bout making sure that y'all know the time
Wrote a rhyme for that,
Went against the format
Brought it back to raw rap and haters never saw that
Coming, fuck it now we off and running
And ain't no half-stepping man, it's all or nothing
So big up to Buff, Self-Sounds, and Crush One
360, Trek Life, can't forget my man Son
And there's more where that came from
Truly it's a movement
Where you think we got the name from?
People it's on, let's go

[Scratches]
Stop, look and listen
[Scratches]
The total package
[Scratches]
Performed a warmer art
With some shit from the heart
[Scratches]
Y'all know the unprecented
[Scratches]
Movement
[Scratches]
Break the the rules of this record company pool
[Scratches]
Blow up the spot
[Scratches]
HO!
[Scratches]
Show 'em what we got
[Scratches]
Show 'em that we can do this
[Scratches]
Make the world believe...

See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that
Say when (when, when, when)
Say when (when, when, when)
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that
Say when (when, when, when)
Say when (when, when, when)

Ayo, the sun still shinin’, earth still spinnin’
Poor still grindin’, rich still winnin’
Imagine that, another day, another merger
One step further towards takin’ this rat race
But, while we make false starts and don’t finish it,
They built more Walmarts and small business get swept aside
Like dirt off the floor, headquarters offshore
Young kids off to war, that’s if you’re poor
Big biz like Juice Crew, honest work doesn’t pay like it used to
Man, so we do what we can, shop for bargains
They outsource and expand profit margins
And mark down what they already marked up
And leave town when the heat gets sparked up
So good jobs make the exodus to poor countries where they make even less than us
Nigga, if you was the richest cat, bona fide aristocrat, kicked it with diplomats,
You smile and tip your hat, lyin’ an’ tit for tat, if you could buy this and that,
You wouldn’t switch it back, now would you?

See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that
Say when (when, when, when)
Say when (when, when, when)
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that
Say when (when, when, when)
Say when (when, when, when)

Ayo, the rope still swingin’, the door still shuttin’,
The bell still ringin’, kids still cuttin’, go figure.
Everyday the gap grows bigger and you wonder why they pullin’ those triggers man.
What you expect? It must be a hell of a lot,
Some kids surrounded by drugs, whether they sell ‘em or not
But they ain’t got brand-new laptop computers and they ain’t got the money for a tutor
So they learn geometry by studying angles on every corner,
An’ chemistry class is makin’ that pot warmer,
So if pop warner doesn’t lead to a scholly,
They prolly ain’t goin’ to college (no)
And now the system really only about preppin’ for tests
And they invest more in the schools reppin’ the best
Of course poor schools get less with time
And they callin’ that No Child Left Behind
But see, schools are still really segregated
And poor people still miseducated
So if one half of black kids live below the poverty line,
Fact is they probably lyin’.
But they ain’t losin’ no sleep, no toss and turnin’
And keep raisin’ that cost of learnin’
I guess it’s still crosses burnin’,
Watch how they fan them flames, understand them thangs
It’s why:

See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that
Say when (when, when, when)
Say when (when, when, when)
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that
Say when (when, when, when)
Say when (when, when, when)

Ayo, the bombs still droppin’, Snoop still crippin’
Guns still poppin’, scales still tippin’
You don’t say? See these kids don’t play, but they all justified in they own way
Cause if jobs don’t pay and schools don’t teach
Ain’t a whole lot within reach
You either catch a case, catch wreck, catch alley-oops
Catch a ride to the spot where they rally troops
Or you go an’ get your own recruits, if you catch my drift
Givin’ them fiends that extra lift
So hustlers cook rocks, accountants cook books,
I figure the bigger the crime, the bigger the crook.
Look, this song ain’t about crack per se,
It used to be about moonshine back in the day
Now kids smoke M E T H O D, man
So really it’s an OG plan

See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that
Say when (when, when, when)
Say when (when, when, when)
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that
Say when (when, when, when)
Say when (when, when, when)
