Before He Walked - Talib Kweli/Nelly (尼力)/Abby Dobson[00:00:00]
Like a medicine in times of war helps me get over[00:00:32]
The sweetest sounds I ever heard my joy my heart my music [00:00:37]
Like a medicine in times of war helps me get over[00:00:43]
The sweetest sounds I ever heard my joy my life my music [00:00:49]
I'm from a small city but I have big dreams [00:00:54]
Had some good ideas but I had better schemes[00:00:58]
I thought the hustle way for me was etched in stones [00:01:01]
Until my pun to dime and name etched in stone [00:01:03]
My daughter's growing up my son on his way [00:01:06]
They closing in on me I feel like every day [00:01:09]
Music saves me soothing like the navy [00:01:12]
But a lifetime of scars only sixteen bars [00:01:15]
So I took the vibe with me using my life [00:01:18]
Yep I propose the main music my wife [00:01:20]
If ever need to call a ni**a music's my night[00:01:23]
And if I need to bring the girls together music's my dice [00:01:26]
If I degraded and I haven't even cried to [00:01:30]
I watch purpose prophesize about going through [00:01:32]
Music ain't the knowledge itself[00:01:36]
And I'm the knowledge itself then I acknowledge your wealth [00:01:37]
Like a medicine in times of war helps me get over[00:01:40]
The sweetest sounds I ever heard my joy my heart my music [00:01:46]
Like a medicine in times of war helps me get over[00:01:52]
The sweetest sounds I ever heard my joy my life my music [00:01:58]
Music a part of me I'm a bully [00:02:06]
Beating up the track with brutal lines [00:02:08]
The truth inside of me rappers hit the booth and they lie to me [00:02:10]
I'm using the inspiration that they provide to me [00:02:13]
I'm redefining the space you can call me the new geometry [00:02:16]
A picture of you papa when I google monogamy [00:02:18]
Now all the people who go irresponsibly[00:02:22]
Thinking your album is trash is not the root of economy [00:02:24]
So you're expecting the conscious and introspect of use[00:02:28]
Each of lyrical vestibule let me tell you what's best for you [00:02:30]
My music gives you a message true or respect is due [00:02:33]
But music is emotion that's lost for me intellectual [00:02:36]
A tree in form of a far is never heard[00:02:39]
Amongst the sparrows and the robbers and even the ghetto birds [00:02:41]
You download it for free but what I create the same[00:02:45]
Ofcourse you're nothing but a pair in making trust me [00:02:47]
Like a medicine in times of war helps me get over[00:02:50]
The sweetest sounds I ever heard my joy my heart my music [00:02:56]
Like a medicine in times of war helps me get over[00:03:02]
The sweetest sounds I ever heard my joy my life my music [00:03:08]
I was born on the afterbeat I'm like ron for Johnson[00:03:13]
When you reach the crossroads me and the devil have to meet[00:03:16]
It's sort of same thing as clever on when they soar[00:03:19]
Lower went looking for God and cleft kept on [00:03:22]
Willing to the same songs but we hear them different[00:03:25]
Serenade the death like we got a fear of living [00:03:28]
Having the sounds on stage cause the spirit rising [00:03:31]
Stop the devilish ways where clever displays the lyricism [00:03:34]
The songs are a natural resource of actual street stories[00:03:38]
Attract the police forces [00:03:40]
Slay to the rhythm the masses that rip off us [00:03:42]
And he could run before he walked[00:03:47]
