Honesty Lyrics
Your face when I try to explain I didn’t think you’d take it personally I’m not saying every word in every line Goes from the moment lost in time You should know me better than that If I wanted to leave I wouldn’t look back Guess what I’m really trying to say Is I wouldn’t paint this picture any other way I’m sorry I wrote this song for you If it makes you feel bad I didn’t mean it to Honesty as a policy Doesn’t work for you So It shouldn’t be I’m sorry I wrote this song at all If it makes you unsure, don’t listen anymore Honesty as a policy Doesn’t work for you And it’s clear to see Show me whatâ€

East 3rd Street Lyrics
I was so sincere. I see more clearly now. I, trust new friends just like, I can throw them. Fading traces of a, future leader. A summer squatting, I know I won? see them round next year. And this is all over my head. And this is all over my head. Rain, it? rain again, rain, down on my parade. I? wrong, you?e right. It? not what you would do. Rain. Walk one mile in these shoes. In these careless days, you know who your friends are. A saving grace. A time to remember, what you?e taken, and who you took from. There? no, mistaking, what you give is what you get. And this is all over my head. And this is al

The Slightest Idea Lyrics
Are you all you want Yes you are Now the worst comes out and how Who all had that heart Bless them all Watch them become background Once into the water Yes you are Now into the ground Found out what makes us shudder Yes you are Alive and turned up so loud So save your mortal soul No one has to know The kid we all control Arms length to the mirror Yes you are Betting on the bed to be there Are we coming clearer Yeah we are Fired up to be fed We're already all red Yes we are alone So sell that mortal soul No one has to know The kid we call control So when the covers lose color Whe
and just that sheik postureAre you all you want Yes you are Now the worst comes out and how Who all had that heart Bless them all Watch them become background Once into the water Yes you are Now into the ground Found out what makes us shudder Yes you are Alive and turned up so loud So save your mortal soul No one has to know The kid we all control Arms length to the mirror Yes you are Betting on the bed to be there Are we coming clearer Yeah we are Fired up to be fed We're already all red Yes we are alone So sell that mortal soul No one has to know The kid we call control So when the covers lose color Whe

I tighten up my game as I approach you
Yo check her she the nectar the bee get close to

[Talib]
I don't get many compliments, but I am confident
Used to have a complex about, gettin too complex
You got me, willin to try, looked me in the eye
My head is still in the sky, since you walked on by
I'm feelin high, got my imagination flickerin like hot flames
it's how it seems, you make me wanna ride the Coltrane to A Love Supreme
My brown lady, creates environments, for
happy brown babies, I know it sounds crazy
but your skin's the inspiration for cocoa butter
You provoke a brother we should get to know one another
I discover when I bring you through my people say TRUE, all I can say
is all praise due I thank you God for a beauty like you
*Mos Def singing*

[Mos] I like the way you walk, when you walk on by
I like the way you move, I like the WAY you move

NYC Girls Lyrics
Chorus NYC girls They're the P.Y.T.s of the world If you get an NYC girl Better keep that girl in your world On Delancy street, out on Houston steet All the girls you meet knock you off your feet New York City is where I wanna be When I look at you on 5th Avenue Oh you look so fine gettin' on your groove You're so New York no place l'd rather be and all the little girls say what they wanna be (Chorus) All the girls I found come from all around But the best I've had come from this here town New York City is where I wanna be and all the little girls say what they wanna be Stand clear of the closing doors Gotta get

[Talib]
You know what some people put themselves through
to look just like you?
Dark stocking, high heels, lipstick, alla that
You know what?
Without makeup you're beautiful
Whatcha you need to paint the next face for
We're not dealin with the European standard of beauty tonight
Turn off the TV and put the magazine away
In the mirror tell me what you see
See the evidence of divine presence
Women of the, Carribean, they got the, golden sun
I know women on the continent got it
Nigeria, and Ghana, you know they got it
Tanzania, Namibia and Mozambique
and Bothswana, to let it speak
about latinas, columbianas
...
Tallenas, of course the Brooklyn women walk that walk
And the Bronx women walk that walk
Honies from Queens walk that walk, NYC, ATL, LA
Cincinatti, the Bay Area...
