Sample (Scratched by Chief Xcel):
Now you, who ever you are, as you're listening to what I'm going to say, will probably not want to believe what I'm going to tell you. And there isn't any way in which I can make you believe; I can only state the facts as they are and hope that you will really believe me. [Gift of Gab] Hey yester-day you were supposed to meet me now I got to testify I waited hours for you guess that all was just a lie Figured you stepped inside soon enough you said good bye "Peace Out! I'm gone and won't be back!" I head your echo cry Oh how the seconds fly left without a second try I check and try to recollect how I just let you die And now I wallow in these severed ties Of Yesterday [woman's voice] [Gift of Gab] Of yester-day girl your really gone I guess that's how it just should be I had big plans for us today but now you're history Today's a mystery you took pieces I miss of me I keep on diggin deep tryin to find that kid in me We had some really good discussions back then didn't we? Befriended me but now we don't speak like we're enemies And all I got is memories Of yesterday [woman's voice] [Gift of Gab] But Yester-day memories are priceless and I'm really glad you left em There etched inside I take a ride when driftin through the spectrum It's just at times I dwell and dwell and then I have to catch up To now while back in time it ceased to march it just kept on I want you back I want you back when it was here I slept on What I appreciate a little more now as a blessing Now I'm complaining and regretting About yesterday [woman's voice] And I'm just goin nowhere fast CHORUS: woman's voice (repeat 2X) I don't try to stay here I just fly away here Out of my oasis I am not complacent [Gift of Gab] Your stuck in a flurry of illusions goin nowhere fast I am today I'm all that ever was and ever is and uh It is an honor, don't become a mental prisoner Just listen to the now and keep your mind from driftin off I am the mission, the position of this instance uh New opportunity to get the love your wishin for To kick the door in to look for your ambitions, what? You can move on out to elevate your existence up Today [woman's voice] I'm just today, I'm just the way I am I am ever single day I am I'm February, April, March and even May I am I'm only what you make me hope I'm what you pray I am Today I am, I'm never really far away I am You better scope me like the hunter does the prey I am You play "I am" out in the picture yes today I am I'm everything your memory say I am Today [woman's voice] [Gift of Gab] So seize me, I'm here to serve you if you serve me back It's easy, but difficult that's time alone squeeze me From beaming your feet when your all your actions turn to banking An inkling, a hint, I'm moving faster than your blinking So treat to just a slice of heaven why you cheat me? Deceive me and now I'm hell inside these thoughts that link me To flesh the soul it's bound to I was truly made to be free Today [woman's voice] Instead I'm going nowhere fast Chorus (repeat 2X) Sample (scratched by chief Xcel): I'm only saying this to show how all around man or beast sleep away there gift of time and never know the beauty of a good life below I'm bout to change the way I'm livin homey I'm eatin vegan, no ham or baloney I'm startin off my day with yoga stretches I'm bout to master self to study lessons I'm swearin off the weed and alcohol I won't be affected by doubts at all The sky's the limit, watch I'm bout to ball I'm spendin every single dollar wisely I'm writin songs that's bumpin like the Eisleys I'll have the answers you can all confide in me Nothin the day could bring that will surprise me I'm buildin to the fullest every minute I'm through talkin the talk, I'm bout to live it Ain't even started yet, I'm at the finish line Man I can't wait until it's here I'm sayin Oh what, you haitin? What, you think I'm playin? You think I ain't just go ahead and watch me I'll use the lessons yesterday has taught me I'm countin hours, minutes even seconds Man I can't even sleep, I'll build my Heaven Oh what, it here? Oh, oh what, it's what? Don't even trip, just give me one more day It's really gonna be on tomorrow Chorus (repeat to end) Your stuck in a flurry of illusions goin nowhere fast (repeat 3X) Sample: There we are. All finished. And you don't know how much I appreciate your pardon. Watch out blazing arrow Do it just how you talk it Nigga rolled in and walk it Stick a toe in the water Don't falter, go on and fall in Tell me, do you know your calling? Yo, what your mission is fella? I caught this vision when I met a fortune teller In New Orleans French Quarter on the bus bench an arbitrary corner Sorta scary looking elder woman showed up outta nowhere She stared into my eyes and said "Sure as eyes green You were conceived and walk the earth Spit that heat, purifying I believe. So are you ready for your cleansin? Cause this is only the beginning." |

society beats release [Saul Williams] Inner breathlessness, outer restlessness By the time I caught up to freedom I was out of breath Grandma asked me what I'm running for I guess I'm out for the same thing the sun is sunning for What mothers birth their youngens for And some say Jesus coming for For all I know the earth is spinning slow Suns at half mast 'cause masses ain't aglow On bended knee, prostrate before an altered tree I've made the forest suit me Tables and chairs Papers and prayers Matter versus spirit A metal ladder A wooden cross A plastic bottle of water A mandala encased in glass A spirit encased in flesh Sound from shaped hollows The thickest of mucus released from heightened passion A man that cries in his sleep A truth that has gone out of fashion A mode of expression A paint splattered wall A carton of cigarettes A bouquet of corpses A dying forest A nurtured garden A privatized prison A candle with a broken wick A puddle that reflects the sun A piece of paper with my name on it I'm surrounded I surrender All All that I am I have been All I have been has been a long time coming I am becoming all that I am The spittle that surrounds the mouth-piece of the flute Unheard, yet felt A gathered wetness A quiet moisture Sound trapped in a bubble Released into wind Wind fellows and land merchants We are history's detergent Water soluble, light particles, articles of cleansing breath Articles amending death These words are not tools of communication They are shards of metal Dropped from eight story windows They are waterfalls and gas leaks Aged thoughts rolled in tobacco leaf The tools of a trade Barbers barred, barred of barters Catch phrases and misunderstandings But they are not what I feel when I am alone Surrounded by everything and nothing And there isn't a word or phrase to be caught A verse to be recited A man to de-fill my being in those moments I am blankness, the contained center of an "O" The pyramidic containment of an "A" I stand in the middle of all that I have learned All that I have memorized All that I've known by heart Unable to reach any of it There is no sadness There is no bliss It is a forgotten memory A memorable escape route that only is found by not looking There, in the spine of the dictionary the words are worthless They are a mere weight pressing against my thoughtlessness But then, who else can speak of thoughtlessness with such confidence Who else has learned to sling these ancient ideas like dead rats held by their tails so as not to infect this newly oiled skin I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly There are no wings more weighted I too have felt a heaviness The stare of man guessing at my being Yes I am homeless A homeless man making offerings to the after-future Sculpting rubber tree forests out of worn tires and shoe soles A nation unified in exhale A cloud of smoke A native pipe ceremony All the gathered cigarette butts piled in heaps Snow covered mountains Lipsticks smeared and shriveled Offerings to an afterworld Tattoo guns and plastic wrappers Broken zippers and dead eyed dolls It's all overwhelming me, oak and elming me I have seeded a forest of myself Little books from tall trees It matters not what this paper be made of Give me notebooks made of human flesh Dried on steel hooks and nooses Make uses of use, uses of us It's all overwhelming me, oak and elming me I have seeded a forest of myself Little books from tall trees On bended knee Prostrate before an altered tree I've made the forest suit me Tables and chairs Papers and prayers Matter vs. spirit, through meditation I program my heart to beat breakbeats and hum basslines on exhalation (Release)x3 [Lyrics Born] The heaven-sent benevolent medicine man reverend Peddling deliverance that resemble amphetamines to the residents in the meadow of pestilence Who developed a
