For The Cool In You lyrics
Here we go round and round and round And back and forth you know Everybody goes through it sometime And that's just the way it flows So we go up and down and up And in and out the door Even thought you know you've been through it before For every argument that we've experienced It's nice to know that you've remained composed And I wanna thank you for the chill in you Especially for you being so cool This for the cool in you Cool in you, cool in This for the chill in you C

Hey, hey, heyyy man
I Strike the Empire Back..
I Strike the Empire Back..
Fuck the Empire!!
High flyin like the Millenium Falcon, piloted by Han Solo
I never roll for dolo, frontin on me's a no-no
Understand? Doin this for my family
Ha ha, check it out y'all
Yo I'm tryin to make a dollar out of what makes sense
Add it up, told my daddy I'd be a rich man
You never know when your fate gon' switch hand
Get today's solid ground out of yesterday's quicksand
I was a young boy -- who dreamt about being a big man
on small looseleaf sheets I sketched a big plan
Gotta handle business properly, boost up my economy
Store it up and get my mom some waterfront property
Yesterday was not for me but nowaday it's time for me
The streets is watchin me, I watch back, that's the policy
Movin along my oddesey like blood through the artery
Navigate the treacherous and make it seem effortless
Let those who make the exodus seekin the North beacon
from beatin and hog-eatin, from p
Underneath The Universe, Pt.ii lyrics
Recognition, coiled in marestreamsUsed as material to drop from the skyI welcome you to the land of choiceI seek shelter from these angry starsNailed to confession, I speak of frictionThe blunt shuffled pattern in the centre of his brainAs fear takes control and delirium is fulfilledNo longer provided with this lonely furyAnxiety, ruling the spawn of corrosionThe force of gravity will soon abolishI am a curl and a vomit pearlAnd soon I will be takenA permanent rape of the w

from hands cracked and bleedin -- cotton thorns in your palms
It's for y'all that I sketch these songs, and it goes..
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I fear no man, because faith is the aarow
My vocal chord travel worldwide to block narrow
We can blow with the ammo or go mano-a-mano
Kweli is you wit me? (Whattup whattup?) Let's make it happen
I *BURN* through your argument with action
My eyes stay fastened to tomorrow lookin for a brighter day
When y'all wanna leave y'all? Right away
Shout it out from East-West (from South to Northern)
From Cakalak' (to California)
From the coldest (to the warmest)
To the borders ('cross the waters) understand..
".. and know that I love you.."
We got love in the place
Shout out to all the Queens (all the Seeds)
To all the teams (that's gettin cream)
From outlaw (to emcee's)
Make it happen (do your thing) understand..
".. and know that I love you.."
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and ge
Teachers lyrics
Imperial, Righteous respects, cause we ain't done yet Lock it down, and overthrow all the pilots And get out of town, can you see them smiling Blisters, these bones are breaking Whispers, are louder than screaming And we suffer this moment until the day is coming That we'll reign forever! Training Day! Cause I man is coming and we are the Teachers Training Day! We been through the fire cause we're pioneers Training Day! The soul of the lion, Jah love for the bleeding T

Guess who? The illest MC in the atmosphere, yeah the Soul Controller
who roam the frontier like a Buffalo Soldier
I follow the code of honor like a real man gonna
Never disrespect no women cause I love my momma
These cats be givin us praise but it ain't that accurate
I give it up to God, all that, love and attachment, get
scary well-prepared with the shears when it get hairy
like how these niggaz is lookin like some fairies
and singin like canaries to the beast
and anybody who will listen to em clearly
Y'all don't hear me though, even when I'm comin through in stereo
You make a mockery of what I represent properly
Yo why you startin me? I take that shit straight to the artery
Intellectual property I got the title and the deed
I pay for rent, with the tears and sweat, and what I bleed
MC's imitate the way we walk, the way we talk
You cats spit lyrical pork with no spiritual thought
Plus your flow a little bit off, you come across soft
Back in the days, nig
The Prize Of Beauty lyrics
I cannot turn my life unto you. A storm of ebony hair. A hail of wickedness. Handsome as a God. Wild and shameless. Given the prize of beauty. Image of wretchedness. Divine like no other. Kiss the poison breast. Flamed like the sun. Lives made undone. Words soft as snow. Souls claimed and won. An opiate drugged haze. Beds of shapeless dust. Cries all night. Dreams of my filthy lust. Lair of hopelessness. Mires of sorrow. Never fails. Our lives are borrowed. Hold fast my soul. She
gaz like that on stage got tossed offI cannot turn my life unto you. A storm of ebony hair. A hail of wickedness. Handsome as a God. Wild and shameless. Given the prize of beauty. Image of wretchedness. Divine like no other. Kiss the poison breast. Flamed like the sun. Lives made undone. Words soft as snow. Souls claimed and won. An opiate drugged haze. Beds of shapeless dust. Cries all night. Dreams of my filthy lust. Lair of hopelessness. Mires of sorrow. Never fails. Our lives are borrowed. Hold fast my soul. She
Need to get crossed off the guestlist
It's like you gotta be disrespected and thrown out the exit
to get the message
Sometimes your sunshine get snatched like a necklace
when you get too drunk on power and your drive get reckless
Check it, MC's in my face after I slug you then I hug you
If I gotta dead you know it's only cause I love you
[Mos Def]
Shout it out from East-West (from South to Northern)
From the richest (to the poorest)
To the elders (in the coffins)
Livin native (dyin for it) understand..
".. and know that I love you.."
Yea, yea, we got love in the place
Shout out from up top (to the middle)
To black bottom (SKY HIGH)
Whether you colder than December
or hotter, than July
It don't stop 'til we complete this
(".. and know that I love you..") keep this fly
It's so much to life when you just
stay black [10X]
My people, my people, my people people p-people [8X]
My PE-ople, oh-oh-OH-oh-OHH, oh-OHH...
