before he walked

Singer:kweli, talib

like a medicine in times of war

helps me get over

the sweetest sounds i ever heard

my joy

my heart

my music. like a medicine in times of war

helps me get over

the sweetest sounds i ever heard

my joy

my life

my music. i'm from a small city

but i have big dreams

had some good ideas

but i had better schemes

i thought the hustle way for me was etched in stones

until my pun to dime and name etched in stone. my daughter's growing up

my son on his way

they closing in on me

i feel like every day. music saves me

soothing like the navy

but a lifetime of scars only sixteen bars. so i took the vibe with me using my life

yep

i propose the main music my wife. if ever need to call a nigga music's my night

and if i need to bring the girls together music's my dice. if i degraded and i haven't even cried to

i watch purpose prophesize about going through. music ain't the knowledge itself

and i'm the knowledge itself

then i acknowledge your wealth. like a medicine in times of war

helps me get over

the sweetest sounds i ever heard

my joy

my heart

my music. like a medicine in times of war

helps me get over

the sweetest sounds i ever heard

my joy

my life

my music. music a part of me

i'm a bully

beating up the track with brutal lines. the truth inside of me

rappers hit the booth and they lie to me

i'm using the inspiration that they provide to me. i'm redefining the space

you can call me the new geometry. a picture of you

papa

when i google monogamy. now all the people who go irresponsibly

thinking your album is trash is not the root of economy. so you're expecting the conscious and introspect of use

each of lyrical vestibule

let me tell you what's best for you. my music gives you a message true or respect is due

but music is emotion

that's lost for me intellectual. a tree in form of a far is never heard

amongst the sparrows and the robbers and even the ghetto birds. you download it for free but what i create the same

ofcourse you're nothing but a pair in making

trust me. like a medicine in times of war

helps me get over

the sweetest sounds i ever heard

my joy

my heart

my music. like a medicine in times of war

helps me get over

the sweetest sounds i ever heard

my joy

my life

my music. i was born on the afterbeat

i'm like ron for johnson

when you reach the crossroads me and the devil have to meet

it's sort of same thing as clever on when they soar

lower went

looking for god and cleft kept on. willing to the same songs but we hear them different

serenade the death like we got a fear of living. having the sounds on stage cause the spirit rising

stop the devilish ways where clever displays the lyricism. the songs are a natural resource of actual street stories

attract the police forces. slay to the rhythm the masses that rip off us. and he could run before he walked.
