Tribute

[Verse 1: Yasiin Bey] This is for my favorite band of human beings The faithful, the graceful, the tragic and the classic The evidence of things unseen, the book of life The mansions of the moon, the bones of Firaun Recently discovered and everything but new The doubter's doubts about it never made it untrue Life the gift, peace after pressure Can't remember how you came or win a bet on how you'll еxit From the start, the only thing certain is thе end Promised to all and none know not when Heartbreak from yesterday, and fret for tomorrow I leave you now filled with anxiety and hollow If you pray don't worry, if you worry don't pray My Umi told it to me just the other day From the tall castle walls to the mean teeth streets I hope you get what you want And that you want what you need Ameen Life is beautiful Even when the world is wack So much beauty, we forget to be reminded That you can be anywhere and find it Try it I promise I'm not lying Try it And if you don't see in your environment Then take a look insides it, try it Try it You can be anywhere and find it I promise I'm not lying Try it [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] Riders at the storm Wise enough to warn the people about the evil that be going on Way before the money gone Money is the root of, huh, you know the rest Will later love of it Got you investin' in your death I stay tourin' 'cause I'm live in the flesh They make computer music They tried to make a copy of me the computer blew in They raised in the age of the enlightenment But little did they know that they was slaves to they environment The Dogon tribe of the stars without telescopes When you have no god you start sellin' folks I tried tellin' folks they attitude was bellicose There's so much more in life to rap about than sellin' coke You could tell that it's dope because I'm squad official They irrelevant cause they intelligent it's artificial The scar tissue on my face tell the folklore We launch missiles into space to fight the cold war Star light, star bright, get the ark right Cut my story on the screen at the ark light Stand clear of the beasts and the troglodytes Tryin' to start a fight like Della Reese in Harlem Nights We got the floater culture vultures tryin' to copyright But they copy wrong... we are not alike Life is beautiful Even when the world is wack So much beauty, we forget to be reminded That you can be anywhere and find it Try it I promise I'm not lying Try it And if you don't see in your environment Then take a look insides it, try it Try it You can be anywhere and find it I promise I'm not lying Try it
