Talib Kweli - Write At Home lyrics

[Verse 1: Datcha] Peace, Peace Everything we do is a creation In complete harmony our creation becomes art Everything we’ve ever invented stems from the human imagination Everything we’ve ever invented or created that moved an era is recognized as work of genius Science and the empirical man, philosophy and the thinker Religion and the shaman, art and the [sick who can?] metabolize Everything with a trace of decay is human error Forgivable human error the curse from the [?] to the gift which becomes a shadow Necessary evil so to speak, or we’d have figured it out by now Striving for perfection is a result of genius Find peace, share your genius See I can’t see my own face without a reflection Whether it be your reaction to my expression, a mirror, or water I need the outside to know the inside which is where I reside Through this understanding, I know that all things are one According to science, everything is a wave of energy A soundwave reaches my ear and my mind makes something of it My eyes are receptors for another type of energy which my mind then depicts as images Same goes for smell and touch Time and space are tools which help me [?] these waves into information Now when given full attention to something other than time and space, time and space disappear I’m simply doing Yesterday, tomorrow, here, there, Poof! It is always now All is energy Even thoughts are forms of energy waves floating Technically I’m only a vessel channeling those thoughts My mind chooses to tune into these frequencies which I either contemplate or share with the outside I believe we all function with the same foundation – energy, which is everything Everything is one big ocean of energy Everything is within you Everything is you The identity of me is but a series of memories in which my mind decides to narrate in order to create that feeling Remember it is always now The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved In other words, energy can neither be created or destroyed Energy only transforms We are thus forever and d**h is but a blink So I ask why hurt? Why k**? Why hate? Why fear? Why war? Why the feelings of uneasiness if all is but a single form of energy entertaining itself? Can the state of the world change? Can the state of the world change? If energy only seems to transform then why not? It seems as if darkness has always reigned over We live on a planet amongst the system in a dark space A planet amongst other planets routing around the sun in the same fashion as electrons do Around the nucleus which form the cells, which form us Ah, yes, all is one and, my friends, it is beautiful Let us unify our heart, now feel your power and I thank you Peace and forever [Verse 2: Talib] Snap ya fingers, do ya step Ayyy, where we at with it? Where you at? What era is this? The era of the musical beautiful mistakes Delivered hand to hand like we slangin’ the mixtapes You tryin’ to describe us you might as well get it straight We the content creators we greater than clickbait The pa**ion for the culture the vultures they try to k** it It’s a war for your spirit the lyrics is here to heal us We looking for the fountain to keep us forever young While I get my energy from the sun, all things are one Rollin’ the blunt on a copy of Native Sun Gettin’ hung just for speakin’ the native tongue My color is my penalty mentally on the run Photosynthesizing my energy from the sun Releasing blockages I ain’t stoppin’ until they gone Feeling weighted down like my pockets is full of stone Until I realize I can change what’s going on (Let’s go!) To every single place I go I’m right at home I’m right at home (Let’s go!) Waiting for that day to come Looking for fountains to keep us forever young Get my energy from the sun Rollin’ the blunt on a copy of Native Sun Gettin’ hung just for speakin’ the native tongue
