Cause you did not do your math My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone Mad props to god ja born
Things just ain’t the same for singers Gotta sing on the beat the bring us But that’s all I have ain’t got no mo But still the people really wanna to know

Love of my life Ooh, you know you rock my world and Love of my life You be boy and I'll be girl and Love of my life Yeah...
[Common] Yeah! Yeah! [Common] Nigga deep in the rhythm, experience speak Some keepin’ the wisdom, the life hustlers seek I seeking it with em, i’m dope the streets need me to hit em With some of that (revolutionary rap) Revolutionary blunted rap My peoples want hits, I hit it from the back Under the cherry moon, I hold notes and carry tunes My guise pack heat enough to bury June, on my feet Im getting married soon, walking in the clouds like Mary Bethune Fumes of a real nigga seep into your room Or through fifthteens of the your jeep that you boom Son so many cats, they call me high noon Offerings to Osun hoping war is over soon Guard your grill like George Foreman Time to build, as far as building im the doorman, opening doors My blood I expose on the floors, tell them the game aint only the score Hold on to your life as I carry these styles To have you tapping your head like Darius Miles You aint supposed to rhyme, better off with a clothing line In this business of pimps, many hoes get signed Opposed to shine so me holding the blinds Mixing golden seal and wine, holding a nine In the age of aquaruis... [Chorus] (Singing) The water that arrives (ba-ba ba ba) To purify the world (du-ba ba ba) Flying through the night (du ba-ba ba ba) So watch out here he comes ( du-du ba ba ba) Aquarius! (echoes) [Common] Between churches and liquor stores, my mic leaks With raps, all over your head like Tweet Playing with yourself, thinking the game is just wealth Hot for a minute, watch your name just melt Same spot where it’s joyous, where the pain is felt As you build and destroy yo remain yourself They say im slept on, now im bucking in dreams And rhyme with the mind of a hustler scheme Or the struggle of feinds, I flow over water thats as troubled as teens For the love of the team, trying to double the dream Be greatful like the chruch psalm my grandmother sings Im rubbing my rings across the domes of clones Punchlines like Roy Jones with poems While you and your dogs foam at the mouth Thinking rap is the only way out The black human genius will never play out I take you way out, where you never been before Been it since birth, sent to replish the Eatrh That truck that you roll is like a miniature hearse I deaded your shit before you finished a verse From niggas to gods from bitches to earths From Nat to Truck Turner that lives in my verse Realness is an act that you cannot rehearse Holla back, but listen first We in the age of aquarius... [Chorus] x2 Aquarius! x2
Jimi Was A Rock Star featuring Erykah Badu작곡:Ahmir Thompson,Erykah Badu,James Poyser,James Yancey,Jeff Lee Johnson,Lonnie Lynn,Pino Palladino
Everyone hides thier face, sets behind a mask they wear. Jimi was a rock star searching for that magic place That he could touch in the sky just to get his people high.
Life is so, colorful reds, blues and dreams. Jimi lives in a purple haze, in a psychadelic maze. Playing the streets like and instrument: pulling strings wherever he went. Angel sent from the sky just to get his people high.
Women all around (ehh da da daaa da) Fast cars and sound (ehh da da daaa da) And freedom he was bound (ehh da da daaa da) Couldn't see the ground (ehh da da daaa da)
Jimi come out why dont you set me free?! (set me free)
Sooooo high born to fly getting high off his own supply ? Everybody follows the same lord Using his light to guide the way ? ?...try things but few die so young something among Jimi was stung
Everyone hides thier face Sets behind a mask they wear (back ground: Jimi come out why dont you set me free?)Till end
2010년 에리카 바두(Erykah Badu)는 지난 앨범의 연작이자 다섯 번째 음반인 <New Amerykah Part Two (Return Of The Ankh)>로 다시 네오 소울 여왕의 왕좌를 예약한다. 분위기는 꽤 포근하고 환한 편이다. 전자음, 프로그래밍 연주가 전반을 차지했던 4집과 달리 이번 작품은 아날로그 악기들을 적극적으로 이용해 완성했기 때문에 더욱 그러한 느낌이 강하게 들 것이다. 또한, 이전 앨범이 사회적인 문......
