Right Words

[Verse 1: Urthboy]

Curse the words, they don't sound like they wanna be heard

Like a defender holding on to the shirt, you let me go

Let the message get on with its work, maybe I got it wrong

Never took time to get it right, still I got it on

Nothing you were caught and on

As if I am from Jupiter like Dr. Octagon

Must've been the right place but wrong time like Dr. John

You know the feeling when you had the ball and knocked it on?

Words slip like discs, and slit like wrists

And make the women and men roar with clenched fists, and

Clearly I can understand the value of this

And I could see it all perfect if it weren't for the mist

Wish you  could connect vowels, an orator

Simple as flicking a switch, light up your corridor

It may not be elegant, but what I got is better than nothing at all

And I'll be there when you call

[Chorus: Ngaiire]

Something's in the way

Trying to find the right words to say to you

Guess I can't explain

Gonna find the right words to say to you

[Verse 2: The Tongue]

Every day I'm a new man, my mind's evolving

Doors of perception, mine are revolving

But none of this is random, trying to write the anthem

Trying to write a rhyme that'll give you a couple answers

Looking for the right words to cut through the hype

Before the world goes bust like BP's pipes

I'll put a match to all that, light up your night

Sorry it took so long to get it right

I was lost in song, confused like you

Feeling hollow in the inside? Yeah, me too

But act natural, all you gotta do is feel it

Yeah, you just gotta use what you've been giving

Keep digging, pick your song, sing when you're winning

These moments of glory can be lost in an instant

Another urban legend, it's there if you listen up

I'll put it down for anyone who wanna pick it up

[Chorus: Ngaiire]

[Verse 3: The Tongue (and Urthboy)]

(The ingredients alone do not make the meal, nor tools of a chef with a Michelin star)

So we take it back to basics, contents determine your flavor

Liquor up our lives and we'll taste it

(And it should have been simple so I could explain it)

(And you would absorb it, and we will have related)

We testing the powers of your observation

Speaking on behalf of the undebated

Got a street perspective, let me explain it

Just captured the moment, I cannot contain it

Unpaid journalism's underrated

I work for the truth, no product placement

(No agenda here, let me lend your ear)

(We can do what people do every day of the damn year)

No, I can't put a price on what this music did for me

Just needed a chance to share my epiphany

[Chorus]

[Ngaiire ad-libbing]

[Verse 4: The Tongue]

Yeah, okay

I'm thinking up a master plan

Now, listen to the voice of an ancient land

I'm looking for a penance, an unwritten future

Looking for a friend, love I don't wanna lose you

These times are crazy, but that's how life is

Always has been, read the writers

War and love, our eternal fires

We all get burned as the flames get higher

We all must learn and we all are teachers

I am my brother's keeper

I am my sister's keeper

So keep that in mind next time that you see her

I'm on that reefer but I'm paying attention

I'm a believer, don't believe in pretending

To be nothing less than that of my own invention

I'm at the ozone layer, in my own dimension

Had a inner piece/peace where nobody gets in

Mashed up the tax but we got protection

Give up on perfection, that's fabrication

The fabric's breaking, tearing, we will all make it

We are all one so each one of us is sacred

It's not a religion, but it's real as you make it

We're clearing the air, so much fear you can taste it

I'm clearing my head, too many thoughts have been wasted

Now it's time to clarify a chance to unify

This is the universe, the space between you and I

You can fall down now and give into darkness

Dying is easy 'cause death is so heartless

Well, it's in our nature, but it can be harnessed

We can do great things when history asks us

We see where we are now, and look where we started

It's just like a painting and we are the artists

A work of genius, and you were the artist

Total control, can you feel the catharsis?

You are the creator, ?

To burn and destroy, what's your human behavior

Is something worth saving?

Well, then you must save it

Is something worth changing?

Well, then you must change it

But just don't tell me our time is over

I used to believe that, that time is over
