[Intro]
We were slept on
We left the [?], man, woah, hahaha
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Chastity all locked up
Feelings linger, but the finger all rocked up
I drop a jewel like your niece name
Breaking up all the bed frames 'til the police came
This the Black Star lineup like Marcus. The cargo
Is all the stardust that we spark up
They say the target is vegan chicks with the tofu
It's hard though, this the shit the gangstas smoke to
You taking up
All the space that's left in my heart, now I'm waking up
To a world you breaking apart, you trust the papers
And say I'm known for breaking her hearts, has God forsaken us?
A cuss is worth of these making it hard, well, we make love
You speak in colors, shoot a canvas on the paintbrush
You get submissive, but aggressive when you say somethin'
Tokin' like you need to wonder skin when you take blood
These other chicks, man, they faker than the lace front
Eyes is the window to the soul, but it's caked up
Sad face clowning, but they cover it with make-up
They keep hatin' 'cause the good fortune favor us
You hear this beat, it's like it's motherfucking made for us
[Verse 2: Yasiin Bey]
One said "I'm too noble for simple love"
Said the other, "Have you ever been noble enough?"
But, never mind, clever fool, I love you still
Is it for your tender clutch tryna crush my will
See, it's the moments like these you remember to breathe
Forget the scenery and remember to flee, ha
Forget the magic, remember the sleeves, ah
South cloaks, dangerous charms
And the truth too wild for the blinds to hide
Find the solace in the dark that the light is not afraid of the dark
That part, the kids should light a spark, that's art
But don't be confused, you won't put me to the screws
Bey do what Bey do, beneath the sun and moon
Eden was fresh, it's nothing new, feeling great, how are you?
[Outro: Yasiin Bey]
