Questlove - Radio Daze lyrics

[Hook: Dice Raw] And the radio daze kept us in the dark And the satellite age brings us to the light Some feeling the pinch, some feeling the bite They ain't ready to talk, they're ready to fight Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) [Veres 1: Blu] So what you searching for? From birth Born hurting and yearning for certain somethings Lurking and murk them, got them turning this Bed into a coffin, burning over pa**ions in this pa**ion Or more or less over what the pastor pa**ed us Cause see, the past tense, it never really pa**es Phases that trap us and cage us like cla**es Fogging my gla**es, lost in a ma** mess Task-less dilemma to match somebody's status And I'm average as f**, no car cats ga**ing me up Pa**ing bucks like a casual blunt Granted, hustling habits on the stump of a mansion While bums pa**, asking for a buck for some bagged bricks Bad sh** going down on the daily While bad chicks pa** in a Mercedez, damn They see he's the ba*tard for chasing them Maybe, it's the patterns that make me that made me...crazy [Hook: Dice Raw] And the radio daze kept us in the dark And the satellite age brings us to the light Some feeling the pitch, some feeling the bite They ain't ready to talk, they're ready to fight Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) [Verse 2: P.O.R.N.] Life is fiction, competition and contradiction Petty perceptions, window dressing for misdirection Love is a lotto, I know I know you know what I know Hope is so hollow, that's why winos follow the bottle And people pressure, make d**h a hidden treasure A guilty pleasure, lonely language inside a letter It's now or never, move it, move it, love it or lose it 'Fore it's recruited, then included in something stupid It's things of nature, paid a player and say your prayers Naysayers, the haters, the major players, the beggars You 'bout it, 'bout it, don't allow it to pow without it Then those who doubt it, doomed to die the d**h of cowards The world is yours, and the world we can't afford So ignore the law; start a fire, then start a war If you're sick and tired of your access denied Free will died long before blogs and iPod [Hook: Dice Raw] And the radio daze kept us in the dark And the satellite age brings us to the light Some feeling the pitch, some feeling the bite They ain't ready to talk, they're ready to fight Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) Never leave you alone (Never, never leave you alone Never, never leave you alone) [Verse 3: Black Thought] Yo, it's too much strain for nominal gain I'm going through things; headaches, abdominal pain Tryna numb it with that kettle like I'm from the Ukraine Check the blue flame, lighter running out of butane What's up with my destructive urge that's unproductive Choices I'm stuck with, now starting to f** with Contaminating family and close friends Telling me to stop burning the candle at both ends Ain't like I'm on a coke binge, hanging in dope dens Or life is just a pool of Patron I'm soaked in The darker the covenant-slash-trainwreck for you to rubberneck You ain't felt the true pain yet so you be loving that Hit me up at black.gov like the government Banana Republican, alien intelligence k** switch, real pissed, thinking of some ill sh** The stone the builder refused, he need to build with Got immunized for both flus, I'm still sick Via satellite, radio, the realness [Hook: Dice Raw] And the radio daze kept us in the dark And the satellite age brings us to the light Some feeling the pitch, some feeling the bite They ain't ready to talk, they're ready to fight And the radio daze And the radio daze And the radio daze
