Personally reflecting to black star thieves in the night My reasons for life, the weed it ignites Letting my mind clear cause lately it's been frequent with sight It's an adjustment, but awakening is a thing that excites
Like a thief in the night I sneak peacefully by while me peeps sleepin wit minds deep in sublime underneath sheets we ain't weakened by time we freely speak so the most feeble of spines will feel us arrive
you should post photos of Kweli on the video too, and photos of both of them. yes, Mos had the longer verse on here, but Talib came up with the concept of the song from Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye", and initially Mos wasn't feeling the concept of the song.
We not free / blac or wyt aint we / a civil war we fight inspite da way dey snuffed Medger Everts life / n.word aint right self-perception our vice / forgot the greatst weapon love CHRIST
Verbally expressing myself on a beat, so i meet the median, section my mind from the streets, you cant think too deep, cuz you can get lost, real knowledge is gained from guys with dread-locks, but no one listens to their stories and lessons, calling them mad, while they express a deception, like they need the oppression, i spit the truth no correction, down to earth like depression, the secret to lifes queries are answered with one question, thats why, i learn from the past, improve on the present, cuz if nothings good now, then the future is lessoned, you gotta fake being real to make it, no exceptions, flexing the jewellery, repping the foolery, foolishly blaring the weapons , diverting the eyes from the wise, and giving way to aggression
It's that aggression that gives me the urge for smoke session Verbal herb to the malanin When I surge on wack emcees They crash like 80s tenements Into dust and sediments I ever tell you your irrelevant? I meant it then And even now hit you with my Harlem blaw How ya like me now? Lyrical UA-cam freestyle It's a miracle your still here Better leave now Before you bleed buckets Knee down in a back of trunk Making all that noise Keep it down I know you gotta pee But wow I'm going buckwild duck down Bucktown My name's knowconscious I don't give a fuck clown Get gunned down Ya done now
she a goddess in the flesh when calypso left the island to bangledesh she left her on the set she takes my breath away hope she nevva fenna go away hope she here to stay the way she look at me everyday its crazy oh baby please just be mine tell the end of time the way she shine in the summer time its emaculent like her lil accent people call her plastic but im my eyes she fantastic and she an og not the type to go and spend my cash on a shopping spree..
I don't believe that another man can pay for my sin So while i appreciate the notion the he paid life and limb I gotta acknowledge that my belief is only psychological It has no relevance to the universal model I could believe every word of the apostles it still would amount to a promise thats hollow Cause i gotta know for myseld Experience is paramount Lotta dirty laundry in my closet ima air it out Livin lustfully and compulsively Knowin this aint supposed to be The way i spend my days i pray for grace and mercy woefully
i dnt think people understand when im going highs and lows one minute im a statue the other im the show my emotion range from empowerement to pain its like history is repeating itself again never had a burst of energy like this before got a little taste of power now i want some more im getting at every girl man this is really weird dnt even stop for a second cuz no longer i have fear of being rejected feel like ive just been injected with some amphetamines and ive been infested to react to the slightest tick im fuck angry man i wnna hit everybody tryna act like smting im not like i can fuck everybody up like all of a sudden im god and its weird ive always played the victim and now my thoughts r so twisted started smoking weed agiain got me so addicted and its crazy so this is how my mom felt when she was beating us with a tight grip on her belt

Personally reflecting to black star thieves in the night
My reasons for life, the weed it ignites
Letting my mind clear cause lately it's been frequent with sight
It's an adjustment, but awakening is a thing that excites
This could be a GTA loading screen theme
Timeless classic this one and the vocal one.
Like a thief in the night I sneak peacefully by while me peeps sleepin wit minds deep in sublime underneath sheets we ain't weakened by time we freely speak so the most feeble of spines will feel us arrive
Such a good beat

Like that yall
Verbally expressing myself on a beat,
so i meet the median, section my mind from the streets,
you cant think too deep, cuz you can get lost,
real knowledge is gained from guys with dread-locks,
but no one listens to their stories and lessons, calling them mad, while they express a deception,
like they need the oppression, i spit the truth no correction, down to earth like depression,
the secret to lifes queries are answered with one question,
thats why, i learn from the past, improve on the present, cuz if nothings good now, then the future is lessoned,
you gotta fake being real to make it, no exceptions, flexing the jewellery, repping the foolery, foolishly blaring the weapons ,
diverting the eyes from the wise, and giving way to aggression
It's that aggression that gives me the urge for smoke session
Verbal herb to the malanin
When I surge on wack emcees
They crash like 80s tenements
Into dust and sediments
I ever tell you your irrelevant?
I meant it then
And even now hit you with my Harlem blaw
How ya like me now?
Lyrical UA-cam freestyle
It's a miracle your still here
Better leave now
Before you bleed buckets
Knee down in a back of trunk
Making all that noise
Keep it down
I know you gotta pee
But wow
I'm going buckwild duck down
Bucktown
My name's knowconscious
I don't give a fuck clown
Get gunned down
Ya done now
she a goddess in the flesh when calypso left the island to bangledesh she left her on the set she takes my breath away hope she nevva fenna go away hope she here to stay the way she look at me everyday its crazy oh baby please just be mine tell the end of time the way she shine in the summer time its emaculent like her lil accent people call her plastic but im my eyes she fantastic and she an og not the type to go and spend my cash on a shopping spree..
I don't believe that another man can pay for my sin
So while i appreciate the notion the he paid life and limb
I gotta acknowledge that my belief is only psychological
It has no relevance to the universal model
I could believe every word of the apostles it still would amount to a promise thats hollow
Cause i gotta know for myseld
Experience is paramount
Lotta dirty laundry in my closet ima air it out
Livin lustfully and compulsively
Knowin this aint supposed to be
The way i spend my days i pray for grace and mercy woefully
The drum programming
Now who the nicest?
I want that sample so bad
Bill evans sample 🙂
i dnt think people understand when im going highs and lows
one minute im a statue the other im the show
my emotion range from empowerement to pain
its like history is repeating itself again
never had a burst of energy like this before
got a little taste of power now i want some more
im getting at every girl man this is really weird
dnt even stop for a second cuz no longer i have fear
of being rejected feel like ive just been injected with
some amphetamines and ive been infested to react to the slightest tick
im fuck angry man i wnna hit everybody tryna act like smting im not
like i can fuck everybody up like all of a sudden im god
and its weird ive always played the victim and now my thoughts r so twisted
started smoking weed agiain got me so addicted
and its crazy so this is how my mom felt
when she was beating us with a tight grip on her belt
Keep writing.
Is that asher roth behind mos def lol
yeah im tryna hide my face everytime im with somebody
negative thoughts like im insane
and i know you like my flow
cus i switch it like a bow
let me get back to what i was explaining before i left the situation
and im a situation
in me head
wtf am i thinking bout
more bread in my hand
cus i think that im just bluffing
about the type of mony that is coming and im hustling like im comming
Dope beat!!!
Necito conocer otro lugar exista
Si me fugo de lo monótono tomo otro punto de vista
@loversarelunatics i know right
fried battered no bread
and you can add in the rest
my own planet I'm in
dont even have to exist
you feel the crash of the wind?
witness the silence of death,
my ears keen to the ring
i don't look backwards a sec
down the street the police
i feel it fast in my chest
but i don't need to be freaked
its postramautic distress
you can bleed on the streets or you can have it the best
even thieves needa eat, i feel the gravity set
"will you please have a seat" no i would rather be dead
Martin King hadda dream that we could gather the strength
I'm at least on my feet til it shatters my legs
its the weak that get eat all for capitol gains
"can i see the receipt?" what's the matter afraid?
can't you see on a screen that i had actually paid?
its more deep than the streets no we actually think
its my weed that be stink at least i have it contained
no dislike the way it should B>
not bad
.
Anyone knows the chords?
I wish, I'm scouring the internet for the chords now.
