|
I dreamt that I could paint you in words
|
but there were no colors, bright enough
|
black or white enough
|
blue or green enough
|
it didnt mean enough
|
you are the star to touch the earth
|
shine bright for all eyes to see,
|
radiate and touch me
|
now Im shining like you do
|
it was dim before I knew you
|
bright light for weeping eyes to get used to
|
trust who? thats some shit I had to adjust to
|
soon as you relax they ease back and cold bust you
|
love murdered in Brooklyn, sound the alarm
|
but you still remain calm
|
my passion is unarmed
|
I try to practice my warlike tactics
|
but in your clutch, in your touch
|
my armor, just collapses
|
such bliss breeds obliviousness
|
I recollect sweet breath still wet on my lips
|
my prayers this:
|
God protect my beloved
|
and keep her covered
|
from the valley to the summit
|
like the land undiscovered
|
like the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful.
|
|
(chorus) background singers [kweli & Mos Def]

|
[im doing my best so i can be true to you]
|
on your knees
|
[aint nothin in this world i wouldnt do for you]
|
in my life
|
[you're my everything more than ever and usual]
|
on my feet
|
[like the stars outnumbered you are so beautiful]
|
beautiful
|
[you shine so very far from where i stand]
|
come to me
|
[from a distant land understand who i am]
|
down again, we can wash it over me.]
|

(Talib Kweli)
|
|
You know what!
|
they say that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
|
so I use my third, and now our love is solid like a boulder
|
wanna build with you as I get older, and thats my word
|
sure as I stand on my ancestor's shoulders
|
you see through my drama and my world like a stage
|
not the same years but livin in the same age
|
its the KWELIty not the quantity
|
follow me
|
def-in-ate-ly,
|
far from probably.
|
got to be, you and me
|
beau-ti-ful-ly fit,
|
like pieces of a man I used to be
|
now Im back because of what you do to me
|
you're like my reflection
|
the better half to my whole
|
like lyrics to the beat
|
you're the mate for my soul
|
the breath for my life, my sister and my lover
|
used to have cold feet, now you're the warmth under my covers
|
I cant ignore your aura because it grab me by the hand
|
like the moon pull the tide (mos & kweli)and the tide pull the sand
|
|
