| [00:38] | Hook: Bilal |
| [00:52] | Your inner heart, your inner mind |
| [00:55] | You’re the star that will always shine |
| [00:58] | Forever you’ll be with me |
| [01:03] | Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco |
| [01:04] | Uh, it go like |
| [01:06] | You ever see the inner depths of a man’s soul? |
| [01:08] | Or ninja turtles pouring out of manholes? |
| [01:11] | This is balance |
| [01:12] | Between a comic and a conscious, that’s the challenge |
| [01:14] | Between the solitary and the conference that I examines |
| [01:18] | That I imagine was a figure |
| [01:20] | Would be the start of world peace and the transformation of niggas |
| [01:24] | Like the transubstantiation of liquor |
| [01:25] | But that’s just turnin’them into blood |
| [01:27] | And we’ll be right back where we was |
| [01:29] | Not a peace-sign, but a fascination with scissors |
| [01:32] | So I can cut |
| [01:33] | Myself off from the calculations of empress, empires, and the sinners |
| [01:37] | For advancement of human suffering |
| [01:39] | And other things trying to impede my publishing and editorials |
| [01:42] | That’s gon’ bring it back to us again |
| [01:44] | A boomerang minus Halle Barry and Eddieand everybody ****ing and huh’s |
| [01:47] | Hook: Bilal |
| [01:48] | Your inner heart, your inner mind |
| [01:50] | You’re the star that will always shine |
| [01:52] | Forever you’ll be with me |
| [01:57] | Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco |
| [01:57] | Shotgun |
| [01:58] | Even though independent cars ain’t got one |
| [02:01] | I got some and more to spare |
| [02:03] | No more despair |
| [02:05] | My motor-ware don’t match my motivate to mate |
| [02:08] | Also I drive to stay alive and ride this over there |
| [02:11] | My momma so mad, so no alcohol in here |
| [02:14] | I’m Aries Spears on my Jay-Z shit |
| [02:16] | Affion on the Drake skit |
| [02:18] | Now how many more can I make with just one voice |
| [02:21] | They might call it fake shit |
| [02:23] | This some deep shit |
| [02:24] | It’s my me impersonatin’ we shit |
| [02:27] | Vicariously in every rap I speak with |
| [02:30] | I hope you’re speakin’for me, if I’m ever speechless |
| [02:32] | Cause I’mma be you |
| [02:34] | Even though you’re not here to be with |
| [02:36] | I hope I see these gangsters actin’ like teachers |
| [02:38] | Wake up out they sleep, dare to dream |
| [02:40] | In a world so Martin Luther King-less |
| [02:43] | Hook: Bilal |
| [02:43] | Your inner heart, your inner mind |
| [02:45] | You’re the star that will always shine |
| [02:47] | Forever you’ll be with me |
| [02:53] | Your inner heart, your inner mind |
| [02:56] | You’re the star that will always shine |
| [02:58] | Forever you’ll be with me |
| [03:06] | Outro: Lupe Fiasco |
| [03:08] | And to my hero Heron, Gil Scott |
| [03:15] | In a discourse with Baldwin |
| [03:17] | On a jet plane with no fear for fallin’ |
| [03:20] | But wishin’ it never lands |
| [03:22] | Reminiscent of the dream time |
| [03:24] | Presently en route to the rise of the machine time |
| [03:28] | Magazine times |
| [03:29] | With coffee more sugar and milk than coffee |
| [03:32] | Aborted rhymes, rotten beats, and failed hooks |
| [03:35] | Roads as bumpy as braille books |
| [03:37] | Fail cools, bad French, and mad push at the door |
| [03:42] | Gourmet food at the starving soiree |
| [03:44] | A choice of one easy woman at a time |
| [03:47] | I’ll take three the hard way |
| [03:50] | Trying to be as abstract as possible |
| [03:52] | And vulgar, the more shocking the more profitable |
| [03:55] | A baby fed molten gold |
| [03:57] | And sat upon a pedestal promote getting called 24 carot souls |
| [04:00] | How to describe this |
| [04:03] | Insightful remarks such as the best thing I’ve ever heard is silence |
| [04:08] | Some more technically impressive |
| [04:09] | In a faux Spanish romantic hues of a Marxist dialectic |
| [04:14] | Pleasing to the critics, but pointless is the common passerby |
| [04:18] | Might as well not even exist, not even a bit |
| [04:21] | In the event of my demise give everything I prize to the poor |
| [04:25] | And to the oppressors, I leave a war |
| [04:28] | And so on and so forth |
| [00:38] | Hook: Bilal |
| [00:52] | Your inner heart, your inner mind |
| [00:55] | You' re the star that will always shine |
| [00:58] | Forever you' ll be with me |
