Outrospective

If all you keep hearing it so long you will see me as a super star
And you'll have time to waste with your minions and tink
I see your face in front of me,
Still grainy from that old black and white tv
My whole family silenced,
Watching you shape destiny with your 2 hands,
Faster than the eye can see.

Mesmerizing

You know what skinny little me started to struggle,
10 years old suddenly bold
Cause i resolved to live like my hero in the ring,
Be smart never give an inch,
No retreat when i'm wrapped up
Respect from teachers, red necks
And creatures who attack in a pack
Like incensed never seen the light not before or
Since a young prince
And i remain convinced of his invincibility
Athletic agility, virility,
Seen your free spirit for every through eternity stings
Like a bee mr muhammed ali

I want to know who you are!
I want to know who you are!
I want to know who you are!

Your achievements defy belief from the belly of the beast rising like yeast,
My release from low self esteem
Came when i saw you rapping on my tv screen.
Float like a butterfly,
That describes my walk to school after fight night
I felt so cool cause i was at place too,
Love myself born slippy
Outta love for you,
And i knew that someday people would love me too.
None of that heckling about my black skin got through,
I would walk bare foot through hell for you,
It was how i felt back then i would still do for you,
So accept these humble words of praise,
And my gratitude for those glorious days
And your victorious ways,
Instilled in the young minds,
Skill sublime yours to mine!

I want to know who you are!
I want to know who you are!
I want to know who you are!

[chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'cause there is not enough love to go round

Now when you climb [fade]
And when you lock [fade]
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'cause there is not enough love to go round.

[maxi jazz]
Until you wake up
You people need a shake up
You take up so much time
Worrying, scurrying,
Here, there,
Losing your hear
No money to spare
No love to share
No wonder you appear under pressure from here
You look fresh, yeah
But all i got is dirt in my hear
My nightmares manifest,
But i can escape
Yours is in your chest
With no formal shape
The tape is running
I push the button to send
Upon each other we all depend
Message end

Whoever asks my name
Or where i came from
People fear contamination
If they chary too long
I carry a strong
Sin of despair
It's in the air
I'm broken and hard to repair
I may mistaken be
But i patiently wait
On the pad to humanity
I sit at the gates

[chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'cause there is not enough love to go round

Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'cause there is not enough love to go round

[maxi jazz]
Dirty, cold, hurting, soul,
Down the river
My liver in bad condition
Like my skin
Rain falling, once again
I'm in my bed
Hurt the time in
I'm gonna struggle for air
There's hair in my food
When i get it usually someone already half ate it
Touch it, not to let it
Get me down
But my head starting to pad
People go round, and round and round

From one i get a cigarette
A little more love found
But the ground is still wet
My chief are chattering
And there's a spattering of seeds
Sometimes i lose all feeling in my feet
When i sleep i'll do my deep in the mainstream
But unaccountably my heart was growing
Small and mean
A hurry past
Ridged people i pretend i haven't seen
But there's money in my pocket
And my clothes are clean?

[maxi jazz 4x]
I said money in my pocket
But i just can't give no love
Money in my pocket
But i just can't give no love

[chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'cause there is not enough love to go round
'cause there is not enough love to go round
