"Where Do We Go lyrics"
After My Prayers lyrics
I pray that I can see Beyond this life tormenting me Tempting from inside Come hysteric thoughts of pain Slowly I`m consumed Into emptiness I fall When all my body`s cold and dead Will the feelings be the same Will my kingdom comfort me Of reject my languid soul Stagnant cooling blood Starts to coagul
(feat. Res)I pray that I can see Beyond this life tormenting me Tempting from inside Come hysteric thoughts of pain Slowly I`m consumed Into emptiness I fall When all my body`s cold and dead Will the feelings be the same Will my kingdom comfort me Of reject my languid soul Stagnant cooling blood Starts to coagul
[Chorus: Res - repeat 2X]
Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin new
Where do we go for inspiration?
It's like pain is our only inspiration
[Talib Kweli]
Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls
Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl
No one to hold 'em while they growin
They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
I know this: that people lie, people kneel
No one plays herethey see only darknessand when I eat with my friendsI can smell them...Sometimes my friend leavesand I'm alone with them...So I wonder among the corpsesuntil I find the smell I crave...it's lying on it's stomachbackside in the air...it's a male, but my hardness doesn't
What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise
Above me, trust me, it must be, morning - time
Wake up, the stakes up
Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
But when the karma come back for what you do
It's too late to make up - some excuse
[Chorus]
[Talib Kweli]
I come from people who stronger than time and space
Wherever there's competition you gonna find the race
I find a place in my heart for this hip-hop
And pump blood through my vein my skin get hot
I take you very serious and make you write
Believe lyrics
Bravely I look further than I see Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now I'm so aware of where I am, but I don't know where that is And there's something right in front of me and I Touch the fingers of my hand And I wonder if it's me Holding on and on to Theories of prosperity Someone who can pro

If I don't celebrate I got nothing to fight for
I'm tight raw, excite y'all like nightfall
I'm tight y'all, I walk the street like y'all
About action, talk is cheap, right y'all?
You start yappin' think about the beef you might cause
The trouble you could get into
You don't study, you not prepared and cats is testin you
What you gonna do when you gotta face
The manifestation of the words that you put in space
They already there you cant take 'em out
The studio gangsta inside you tryin' to break out
[Chorus]

Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls
Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl
No one to hold 'em while they growin
They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
I know this: that people lie, people kneel
People die, people heal, people steal, and people shed tears
What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise
Above me, trust me, it must be, morning - time
Wake up, the stakes up
Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
But when the karma come back for what you do
It's too late to make up - some excuse
