(Intro) This is a song that makes me spill out all my guts Sometimes
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't me Sometimes, I wish I was drug free Sometimes, wish I saw the exit sign first Sometimes, wish I knew the truth without search Sometimes, I wish I could go where I never been See what I never saw, do what I never did Or walk before I could crawl
Sometimes, I wish my eyes wasn't so red Sometimes, I wish I had breakfast in bed Sometimes, I mean it's worth it Since I did all the work last night Sometimes, you ain't good to me, yes I am good to you And you don't see my attention the way that I do
Sometimes, hey slim, you should be nicer than you are Sometimes, you take that complaining shit way too far I mean, I thought it was cute in the beginning but now I think you only do it 'cause you know I hate it Sometimes, you got me wishing I didn't have home training Sometimes, then it wouldn't hurt me so bad With dreams of knocking you in your head Then it wouldn't hurt me so bad With our kitchen knife put up your ass
Sometimes, wish I knew life with no pain, yeah Wish I held the keys to this game Sometimes, I pretend 'cause I'm afraid to be, afriad to be Sometimes, I hope I live to see twenty five
Sometimes, I wish I could be like Moses Round up my people, move out the ghetto And live a better life Sometimes, I wish I didn't try so hard Sometimes, who knows truth any way They don't know nothing, who needs that approval
The sun in your hands player Move at your own pace, listen to your own mind Do your own thing, yeah yeah I'm saying it because I love ya And I wanna grow with you, yeah yeah But you wanna run in the other direction So I got to stay on my path until I win I win, I win, I win I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win
Oh sometimes, sing it with me I wish (I wish in love) And I wish, oh I wish (I wish in peace) Oh sometimes (I wish in hope) I wish hope (I wish true) I wish true (I wish clearly) Hey I wish so clearly sometimes (Wish with no fear) I wish with no fear (I have no fear) I have no fear (Have no doubt) I have no doubt (I don't doubt) I don't doubt (Have no doubt) No, I don't doubt (Have no doubt, I wish love) I wish love, hey hey
How quick, How quick the mind goes Game meets game that's how the life goes Stripped the boy out of his house coat Higggggggh, high up in the sky Cold as ice Tell no lies Sally, Sally
(Mos Def) Yo Just when I think that I've forgot you I hear that thug that we used to rock to Just When I think I'm gettin' on without you Somebody Passed and asked me about you
Was in the back of the cab the other day Swear to God I saw you walking passed the other way My heart rushed, my face flushed Tell the driver hit the breaks slow the pace up Wait up, It wasn't you Realised it's a mirage I was running to Damn, can the affects of Love and time Cause the mind to trick the eye? I wonder how you gettin' by And all the stars still in your eyes But you still just get the five You break the bank to spend the time I reminisce of shifting time, to when you was mine
(Bilal) Years ago, in a mist of hallways and sliding doors Missing links of family very obscure Vision of you shine But only for a short time My mistake I didn't pick up on it till years down the line
Here now as I (reminisce) reminisce, will I ever see your face again? (In-fect-ion) Baby as I lay back (reminisce) will I ever see your face again. (In-fect-ion) As I reminisce (fect-ion) as I reminisce (In-fect-ion)
(Bilal) (Common) Hold still (uh) The devine has placed us In a small world (yes) And thankfully so (Thank God) Our paths cross once more And to whose surprise but mine Was 14th and 6th was the placed where we combine once more There at the front door of the cornor store you stood.
(reminisce) I reminisce Infection (In-fect-ion) as I lay back (reminisce) will I ever see our face again (In-fect-ion) As I reminisce (In-fect-ion) As I reminisce (In-fect-ion)
A happy story always ends As it starts But with few exceptions involved We became an item (Me For You) Me for you and (You For Me) You for me (Through Good Times and Bad Times) Good times (Sickness And Health) Sickness and health (Broke ass and richness) Broke ass, and richness, baby we made it work
(Common) Yes Sir Yo I reminisce over this chick Colder than a soda Princess a soldier Raised in Islamic culture Sexy as the girl on the Jamaica poster Men are over seas where there really don't be no sistas Brought her on stage as Bilal sang "Soul Sista" In body parts the blood was thicker Sweet only tryna make sure it ain't the liquor She was with a nigga come to find out She and Sista backstage, conversation kissed her Made me forget to remember that I pimp the dime Put the pimpin' aside I see Kenya in her eye Our connection lies in a life before For us to meet again was devine law So I can't describe how deep I dug her Now only in memory can I hug her I reminisce y'all
[Bilal] La da da di.. la da da di.. Hey... livin in the fast lane Drivin fast 'broads' With them fast 'chains' When you pimpin through life See some people get caught up And some charges brought up With some people they shoot up Hey.. there it goes again Different face to the same old tragic end Who's to blame if he never saw it commin Yet he heard the bullet hummin And he never though of runnin It's too late for him now layin out on the ground so cold.. so cold Nothin much to live up to.. damn It's so far gone.. so gone
Livin in the fast lane Drivin fast broads With you fast chains When you pimpin through life See some people got caught up With some charges brought up From some people they shoot up Hey.. tell me when will it end When the baby pays for its mothers sinnin Trapped inside the four walls of a 'penty' Way too strong.. way too strong Now shes out in the cold, dying slow and the spoon still warm
[Jadakiss] It started when they birthed me Runnin round stuck in the project now he cant wait to the first come Little older now and cant wait till the dope come Sleep all these years and nobody awoke him Getting it so he can cover the whole border Question is how many of us can hold water It seemed like tellin is in Signed states get an order of protection and tell him again I'm a left lane My life is much faster than yours I'm with a chick and its attached to a brawl Got the air ones matchin the car All white.. slingin all night So we rapidly spar Thats what they wanna clap at me for Understand that the flow is like the coke that he naturally grows So I'ma get my cash on, and my mash on And get my ass up out of the fast lane
[Bilal]
Livin in the fast lane Drivin fast broads With you fast chains When you pimpin through life .. got caught up And some charges brought up From some people you shoot up
Verse 1 It's all in her eyes you and me Words just disguise all the things that you be
What is deep it's deeper than deep So only it knows this kind of vibe gets stronger in time
Won't go on unnoticed So concrete can't hold this Hearts filled righteously
Whatever it is I know that it's real Long as you know No complaints you're all that I feel
CHORUS Si-sta-soul (You must be my soulsista, soulsista) Si-sta-soul (Hey sis, you must be my soulsista, soulsista) Si-sta-soul (Hey sis, you must be my soulsistaaa) Si-sta-soul
Verse 2
You are so fine (Like spaces that fall in my soul) See baby that has no rhyme Do you like how it feels when I smoke you out head down to your toes Making you scream and shout You must be my soulsista, soulsista
CHORUS Si-sta-soul X6
Music...
(Hey baby can I talk to ya) Can I love you in the right way (Way) (PLEASE) Soul (HOLD) Baby I want to (LOVE) You know baby I want to (LOVE) In the right way (HOLD) Cause you're my (SOUL) Sista, baby you are (MY) All I wanna do is (LOVE)
Common (talking) phone rang, screen said caller ID said blocked, but for some reason i decided to answer it. on the other end was a french accent. he told me we needed to rap quick, cause he had did some bad shit, and would be gone for years, spending these last two days, with his momma and his kids when he spoke I wasn't trying to hear it ,cause I knew he was a real good person, and this didn't seem like it was in his spirit. he couldnt believe as much as i couldnt, what he done . he said now its time for him to turn himself in. no longer could he run, from life, from God. start thinkin, why is doing right is so hard. I got back to him when we was inLondon discussin the new testament and how our lives related to it, and how we could make the best of it. my voice became destined, so I asked him why you gotta go. he said you know turn to Matthew 24 he said no one knows the hour, nor do they know the day, but the kingdom is near, don't let anything lead you to stray. as long as God is with you, everything will be okay. so right about then,we decided to pray.

[Common] Yeah! Yeah! [Common] Nigga deep in the rhythm, experience speak Some keepin’ the wisdom, the life hustlers seek I seeking it with em, i’m dope the streets need me to hit em With some of that (revolutionary rap) Revolutionary blunted rap My peoples want hits, I hit it from the back Under the cherry moon, I hold notes and carry tunes My guise pack heat enough to bury June, on my feet Im getting married soon, walking in the clouds like Mary Bethune Fumes of a real nigga seep into your room Or through fifthteens of the your jeep that you boom Son so many cats, they call me high noon Offerings to Osun hoping war is over soon Guard your grill like George Foreman Time to build, as far as building im the doorman, opening doors My blood I expose on the floors, tell them the game aint only the score Hold on to your life as I carry these styles To have you tapping your head like Darius Miles You aint supposed to rhyme, better off with a clothing line In this business of pimps, many hoes get signed Opposed to shine so me holding the blinds Mixing golden seal and wine, holding a nine In the age of aquaruis... [Chorus] (Singing) The water that arrives (ba-ba ba ba) To purify the world (du-ba ba ba) Flying through the night (du ba-ba ba ba) So watch out here he comes ( du-du ba ba ba) Aquarius! (echoes) [Common] Between churches and liquor stores, my mic leaks With raps, all over your head like Tweet Playing with yourself, thinking the game is just wealth Hot for a minute, watch your name just melt Same spot where it’s joyous, where the pain is felt As you build and destroy yo remain yourself They say im slept on, now im bucking in dreams And rhyme with the mind of a hustler scheme Or the struggle of feinds, I flow over water thats as troubled as teens For the love of the team, trying to double the dream Be greatful like the chruch psalm my grandmother sings Im rubbing my rings across the domes of clones Punchlines like Roy Jones with poems While you and your dogs foam at the mouth Thinking rap is the only way out The black human genius will never play out I take you way out, where you never been before Been it since birth, sent to replish the Eatrh That truck that you roll is like a miniature hearse I deaded your shit before you finished a verse From niggas to gods from bitches to earths From Nat to Truck Turner that lives in my verse Realness is an act that you cannot rehearse Holla back, but listen first We in the age of aquarius... [Chorus] x2 Aquarius! x2
