Yelling Away |
Ok, its the emcee extraordinaire Talib Kweli |
Chillin on Soundbombing 3, with my peoples |
From the East, Cypha Soundz, from West, Mr. Choc |
This is how we do it, I got y’all back, y’all got mine |
Let’s do this- no more music motherfuckers |
Yelling, yelling, yelling away |
Going, going, going away |
And fly, away |
Yo, fly in it |
Blue skies the limit, the skies infinite |
It reflect in the eyes of those who try to send spies in it |
Capture the sun if they could, but they go blind by it |
Look in the sky and I see Africa’s eyes in it |
The land is dry like the cry in’finite |
The tear we shed grow to fruit til the eye replenish |
The industry wanna try to give my rhyme a sentence |
Behind bars with my rhymes diminished, they tryna end us |
But all them clowns do is give my mind a senate |
To watch my people’s enemy die in my presence |
Fly away on the highest adventure out on the line |
And enter the gate of Zion, need to decide who sent 'em |
I went through the jungle (yeah) |
Stalking like a black panther |
Rap’s answer to that cancer |
Choking the life out the hood, they won’t let a man emancipate his people |
This refreshing like the spray of the bay in Puerto Rico |
All the things, you desire |
Earth… wind…water, fire |
These elements hammer nice together |
See, you can find it there |
Find it there |
Yo, I came into this world as the naked truth |
A little baby girl, trying to make it through |
Through this earth, wind, fire and water |
That I’m someone’s daughter |
Cadence of divine order |
Sorta sent to let the people know their times spent |
It’s precious and we can’t keep our minds bent |
On just the pleasures of sex, drugs, wine, bread |
In essence, we one with the environment |
Though I’ve been here, less than a year |
Being so close to god, I guess I haven’t learned the fear |
When I heard nature telling me, time to come home |
Told my mind this is the path for you to walk, not to run on |
Understand the night, to reach a higher day |
Follow yourself so you can fly away (fly away) |
Fly away dawg, fly away dawg, fly away dawg, fly away dawg |
You are feeling, the stress |
But in life, you’re truly blessed |
Go… for…nothing less |
Spread your wings and fly away |
Fly away |
Go… for…nothing less (x3) |
