Smooth Sailing

i got this paper from the garbage / last night i read it from a to z / it was old, but still it gave me an impression of what people want to believe / i was born in a church / without a trace but with a twist / come swim in my weak spot, baby / smooth sailing for consolation / when it rains it kinda drizzles, baby / well i'll be damned: straight to voicemail.

Silver

talk, you wanted to talk / i only wanna play / play to the beat of the drum / to rejoice and reclaim / we built this city on everything, now everything's a mess / devoted to a single focus, everything's a mess / this never gets tired / this never gets old // you lift me up / you weigh me down / you weigh me down / you lift me up // cross my palm with silver, i've got silver on my mind / cross my mind with phrases that can clarify this time / this never gets tired / this never gets old.

Slowly But Surely

slowly but surely, we'll get there gradually and reliably / feels like we're floating / all these waves we caught, we caught the right ones // hiphop, hiphop on the radio / hiphop, hiphop, something slow and low / slow down, slow down, brand nubian / tick tock, tick tock, i'll clock you in // slowly but surely, it's really happening, no incidents but trends / the rules of attraction / they brought us on this track, it is the right track // hiphop, hiphop on the radio / hiphop, hiphop, something slow and low / slow down, slow down, you're going to fast for me, i'm clutching the seat // check the time, i'll check the distance / check the speed, i'll check the time // slowly but surely / all these waves we caught, we caught the right ones.

will you please be quiet please / i'm zeroing on something / take a long walk on a short peer / i don't mean to come across mean / i just found out: i don't forgive, i forget / i don't forgive, i forget // there are no clocks in misery / just an endless tick tick ticking / well i'll be damned if you do / don't sell yourself short, no knitpicking / as it so happens: i don't forgive, i forget / i don't forgive, i forget // i think it's safe to say / let's not get carried away / if anything, here's where the strings come it / if anything, if anything... / now you know; i don't forgive, i forget / i don't forgive, i forget.

Attack and Defend
02:36
|
|||
|
let's go through the motions one more time / you'll pop yours and i'll launch mine / wait 'till you see the whites of their eyes / wait 'till you see the gums of their teeth // and attack and defend and attack / just for the record: it's not gonna be hit / you might be champions, but we are the shit / little by little things begin to shift / both business and pleasure / this curse is a gift / attack and defend and attack.

okay, i'm working this out as we go along / is there a purpose for your presence, better push it along / from swerve of shore to bend of bay / as far as thing go it went well out of your way // i'm turning up the crank handle, yeah / follow your dreams, swallow your nightmares // the eye only watches it's the mind that sees / as far as things go it went well out of your league / harder than the hardest, hard as hard can get / i think i'm gonna sit this one out // turning up the crank handle, yeah / follow your dreams, swallow your nightmares.

when it takes a while for you to pick up the phone / i'm convinced there's something terribly wrong / one down one to go i don't want you to go like this / one down one to go i don't want you to go // there might be a lining to this cloud but it sure ain't silver / that's okay 'cause that's not what i'm brought up for / gold's the only element i'm gonna go for. now.

A Lame Duck
02:18
|

|
you were redundant due to no fault of your own / you look for a scapegoat / you kick up a fuss, bitch and moan / let's put it this way: you tied yourself to a lame duck / try something different / that's how you get rid of bad luck.
