feat. Justin Timberlake |

<Talib Kweli:> |
| [00:04.39] |
Expect the unexpected |
| [00:09.74] |
Yo |
| [00:10.13] |
<Talib Kweli & Timberlake:> |
| [00:10.44] |
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do |
| [00:13.17] |
When everybody turns they back on you |
| [00:15.73] |
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do |
| [00:18.40] |
When everybody turns they back on you |
| [00:20.99] |
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do |
| [00:23.67] |
When everybody turns they back on you |
| [00:26.28] |
It's kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do |
| [00:28.98] |
When everybody turns their back... |
| [00:30.35] |
<Talib Kweli:> |
| [00:31.59] |
Yeah I know a city that's surrounded by a beautiful beach |
| [00:34.23] |
The economy boosted by the drugs they move in the street |
| [00:37.04] |
More clearer than the crystal sky, blue as the beast |
| [00:39.52] |
The people ain't got shoes for they feet, or food to eat |
| [00:42.08] |
So they hurtin but what's for certain you can get you some heat |
| [00:44.77] |
And over beef you laid to rest like you was gettin some sleep |
| [00:47.53] |
Where the little kids get ammunition (word) you can't get no nutrition |
| [00:50.86] |
Or any type of suitable living condition listen |
| [00:53.46] |
They shoot you over that paper, its just survivalist human nature |
| [00:56.39] |
to put you out of your misery like euthanasia (yeah) |
| [00:58.81] |
Don't let them fool you we ain't different than the youth in Asia |
| [01:01.16] |
Africa and Europe, it's a small world we truly neighbors |
| [01:03.85] |
If they the third world then who the first to get to heaven |
| [01:06.34] |
I know it's hard but who does God choose to go through it worst |
| [01:08.96] |
Usually it's the prophets, ask a cat what really matters |
| [01:12.19] |
Nowadays usually it's his pockets |
| [01:13.13] |
<Chorus:> |
| [01:13.72] |
We gotta get back to what really matters |
| [01:18.58] |
We gotta search our soul to find out, what we're after |
| [01:23.99] |
The more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder |
| [01:29.21] |
Mom and dad don't forget, to warn your sons and daughters |
| [01:34.01] |
About the-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today |
| [01:45.03] |
The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today |
| [01:54.42] |
<Talib Kweli:> |
| [01:55.01] |
Word~! Don't nobody talk no more they all text message |
| [01:58.14] |
Drivin and typin, not payin attention, missin they next exit |
| [02:01.15] |
Dependin on navigation they ever know where they goin |
| [02:04.27] |
They stayin stuck in one spot they not growin |
| [02:06.54] |
I'm so over cryin, waitin and hopin playin the blame game |
| [02:09.12] |
The game changed me into (A Different World) like Dwayne Wayne |
| [02:11.70] |
I'm gettin high just to maintain (yeah) |
| [02:14.15] |
Take my music like a drug and drop the needle in the same vein |
| [02:17.07] |
I get a rush like I'm tweekin off blow |
| [02:19.53] |
Except it ain't via the nose it's from deep in my soul |
| [02:22.23] |
The street slang I be speakin in code |
| [02:23.94] |
Kick in the do's, freakin the flow 'til the speakers explode |
| [02:26.68] |
We in control, the people know I speak the truth |
| [02:29.40] |
The power of my roots is thicker than sour sop |
| [02:30.72] |
And they so strong they bustin out the flower pot |
| [02:32.71] |
Family tradition is to tell 'em you love 'em |
| [02:35.47] |
While your family livin from granny in the kitchen the little man in prison |
| [02:37.30] |
<Chorus:> |
| [02:37.59] |
We gotta get back to what really matters |
| [02:42.79] |
We gotta search our soul to find out, what we're after |
| [02:48.11] |
The more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder |
| [02:53.34] |
Mom and dad don't forget, to warn your sons and daughters |

I'm just tryin to get back, to what really matters |
| [03:45.72] |
I'm tryin to search my soul to find out, what I'm after |
| [03:50.80] |
