Talk To Strangers - Saul Williams[00:00:00]

Written by：Serj Tankian/Saul Williams[00:00:01]

Nah[00:00:07]

I wasn't raised at gunpoint and I've read too many books[00:00:07]

To distract me from the mirror when unhappy with my looks[00:00:09]

And I ain't got proper diction for the makings of a thug[00:00:12]

Though I grew up in the ghetto and[00:00:15]

My niggers all sold drugs[00:00:17]

And though that may validate me for a[00:00:19]

Spot on MTV[00:00:20]

Or get me all the airplay that[00:00:22]

My bank account would need[00:00:23]

I was hoping to invest in a lesson[00:00:25]

That I learned[00:00:27]

I thought this fool had jumped me[00:00:28]

Just because it was my turn[00:00:29]

I went to an open space 'cause[00:00:31]

I knew he wouldn't do it[00:00:32]

If somebody there could see him or[00:00:34]

Somebody else might prove it[00:00:36]

And maybe in your eyes[00:00:37]

It may seem I got punked out[00:00:38]

'Cause I walked a narrow path and[00:00:40]

Then went and changed my route[00:00:41]

But that openness exposed me to a[00:00:43]

Truth I couldn't find[00:00:45]

In the clenched fists of[00:00:46]

My ego or the confines of my mind[00:00:47]

Or the hipness of my swagger or the swagger in my step[00:00:49]

This scowl of my grimace or the meanness of my rep[00:00:52]

'Cause we represent a truth[00:00:55]

Son the changes by the hour[00:00:56]

And when you open to it vulnerability is power[00:00:58]

And in that shifting form you'll find a truth[00:01:01]

That doesn't change[00:01:03]

And that truth is living proof of the fact[00:01:04]

That god is strange[00:01:06]

Talk to strangers[00:01:07]

When the family fails and friends[00:01:08]

Lead you astray[00:01:09]

When buddha laughs and jesus weeps and[00:01:10]

It turns out god is gay[00:01:12]

'Cause angels and messiahs[00:01:13]

Love can come in many forms[00:01:15]

In the hallways of your projects or[00:01:16]

The fat girl in your dorm[00:01:18]

And when you finally take the time to see what they're about[00:01:19]

Perhaps you find them lonely or their wisdom[00:01:22]

Trips you out[00:01:25]

Maybe you'll find where cycles end[00:01:27]

You're back where you began[00:01:29]

But come this time around[00:01:30]

You'll have someone to hold your hand[00:01:31]

Who prays for you who is there for[00:01:33]

You who sends you love and light[00:01:34]

Exposes you to parts of you that you[00:01:36]

Once tried to fight[00:01:38]

And come this time around[00:01:39]

You'll choose to walk a different path[00:01:40]

You'll embrace what you turned away and[00:01:42]

Cry at what you laughed[00:01:44]

'cause that's the only way we're going to make it[00:01:45]

Through this storm[00:01:47]

Where ignorance is common sense and[00:01:48]

Senselessness the norm[00:01:50]

And flags wave high above the truth and the two never touch[00:01:51]

And stolen goods are overpriced and[00:01:54]

Freedom costs too much[00:01:56]

And no one seems to recognize the symbols come to life[00:01:57]

The bitten apple on the screen and jesus[00:02:00]

Had a wife[00:02:02]

And she was his messiah like that[00:02:04]

Stranger may be yours[00:02:05]

Who holds a subtle knife that carves[00:02:07]

Through worlds like magic doors[00:02:08]

And that's what I've been[00:02:11]

Looking for the bridge from then to now[00:02:12]

Just watching bet like what the f**k son[00:02:14]

This is foul[00:02:16]

But that square box don't represent[00:02:17]

The sphere that we live in[00:02:19]

The earth is not a flat screen[00:02:20]

I ain't trying to fit in[00:02:21]

But this ain't for the underground[00:02:23]

This here is for the sun[00:02:24]

A seed a stranger gave to me and[00:02:26]

Planted on my tongue[00:02:28]

And when I look at you I know[00:02:29]

I'm not the only one[00:02:31]

As a great man once said[00:02:33]

There's nothing more powerful[00:02:35]

Than an idea[00:02:37]

Who's time[00:02:38]

Has come[00:02:40]
