Saul Williams - Wine lyrics

The new wine is dying on the vine How much must you age before you're ageless? Align yourself with the divine Allow your inner sage to burn you rageless 'Cause I find through testaments of time There is no space for time within your mind If you're looking for yourself, yourself you'll find Through the crystal of your spirit, you'll inherit the divine You are God, you best believe Don't waste your time down on your knees It's everybody for themselves You are the fire and the cross Don't save your soul, it's our loss Collective soul, collective wealth Booklet note: (2 times - for your mind) The new wine is dying on the vine How much must you age before you're ageless? Align yourself with the divine Allow your inner sage to burn you rageless 'Cause I find through testaments of time There is no space for time within your mind If you're looking for yourself, yourself you'll find Through the crystal of your spirit, you'll inherit the divine You are God, you best believe Don't waste your time down on your knees It's everybody for themselves You are the fire and the cross Don't save your soul, it's our loss Collective soul, collective wealth So do you know how I feel, tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal, tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, oh yeah Now do you know who you are, tonight? Now do you know how I feel, tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal, tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, oh yeah Now do you know who you are, tonight? I've got a daughter and son, that's like a bible and gun Pea-co*ked and ready, aimin' steady as a ray of the sun My ammunition, intuition, fully clipped to my lung Son, you could never guess what planet I'm from My emcee name is my birth name, my first name Alias is all of us, Saul of us The fall of us to surely come when we deny it Loudest n***a gets quiet, this inner peace is a riot Sell your soul if you wanna, but that don't mean I'mma buy it See, I've been conscious of your nonsense stayin' pensive and quiet And I ain't gonna lie it, be too hard to deny it I ain't from your block and never had to deal with your sh** Never had a glock, never kept it real with no bit And when I saw a n***a like you, son, I practically hid 'Cause you did what you did and I wasn't the kid Don't give a f** now, I be the first one to playa hate The eye of the needle set the record straight And I retire late, retire late Retaliate, retaliate And I be fishin' on the same star you be wishin' on Make your move, son, you know the mission's on So never question who I am God knows and I know God personally In fact, he lets me call him me In fact, he lets me call him me Never question who I am God knows and I know God personally In fact, she lets me call her me In fact, she lets me call her me So do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? I could recite the gra** on the hill and memorize the moon I know the cloudforms of love by heart and have brought tears to the eye of a storm My memory banks vaults of autumn forests and amazon river banks And I've screamed them into sunsets that echo in earthquakes Shadows have been my spotlight as I monologue the night and dialogue with days Soliloquies of wind and breeze applauded by sun rays We put language in zoos to observe caged thought and tossed peanuts and p-funk at intellect And motherf**ers think these are metaphors, I speak what I see All words and worlds are metaphors of me My life was authored by the moon, footprints written in soil The fountain pen of martian men novelling human toil And yes, the soil speaks highly of me When earth seeds, root me, poet-tree Now, maybe I'm too serious, too little here to matter Though I'm riddled with the reason of the sun A stand-up comet with the audience of lungs This body of laughter, is it with me or at me? Humor or less though gender's mute And the punch line has this lifeline at its root I'm a star, this life's the suburbs I commute So do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Booklet note: (This song was once visited by the spirit of Tupac, but manmade laws may stand in the way of we wayward spirits... He sang, "Who Do U Believe In?" over the D&B section. He sang through me. If anything, I can say that I have been personally visited by his spirit. But then, there is nothing personal about spirits.)
