Talib Kweli, Res - Where Do We Go (Album Version (Explicit))(2002)

[00:20.65] Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
[00:23.44] Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
[00:26.14] Where do we go for inspiration?
[00:28.84] It's like pain is our only inspiration
[00:31.54] Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
[00:34.28] Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
[00:36.94] Where do we go for inspiration?
[00:39.61] It's like pain is our only inspiration
[00:42.37] Yeah, I see a place where little boys and girls
[00:45.02] Are shells in the oceans not knowin' they a pearl
[00:47.72] No one to hold 'em while they growin'
[00:50.54] They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
[00:53.26] Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
[00:55.97] And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
[00:58.69] I know this, that people lie, people kneel
[01:01.38] People die, people heal, people steal and people shed tears
[01:04.02] What's real? Blood spills, gun kill, the sun still rise
[01:09.43] Above me, trust me, it must be, morning time
[01:13.99] Wake up, the stake's up
[01:16.68] Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
[01:20.30] But when the Karma comes back for what you do
[01:23.90] It's too late to make up some excuse
[01:25.76] Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
[01:28.43] Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
[01:31.16] Where do we go for inspiration?
[01:33.82] It's like pain is our only inspiration
[01:36.55] Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
[01:38.35] Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
[01:41.98] Where do we go for inspiration?
[01:43.77] It's like pain is our only inspiration
[01:47.36] I come from people who stand stronger than time and space
[01:50.97] Wherever there's competition you gonna find the race
[01:52.76] I find a place in my heart for this hip-hop
[01:55.42] And pump blood through my vein, my skin get hot
[01:57.21] I take you very serious and make you write more
[02:00.05] If I don't celebrate, I got nothing to fight for
[02:02.74] I'm tight raw, excite y'all like nightfall
[02:05.48] I'm tight y'all, I walk the street like y'all
[02:08.15] About action, talk is cheap, right y'all?
[02:10.89] You start yappin' think about the beef you might cause
[02:13.52] The trouble you could get into
[02:16.28] You don't study, you not prepared and cats is testin, you
[02:18.93] What you gonna do when you gotta face?
[02:21.68] The manifestation of the words that you put in space
[02:24.35] They already there, you cant take 'em out
[02:27.03] The studio gangsta inside you tryin' to break out
[02:29.77] Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
[02:32.47] Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
[02:35.15] Where do we go for inspiration?
[02:37.86] It's like pain is our only inspiration
[02:40.56] Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
[02:43.35] Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
[02:46.06] Where do we go for inspiration?
[02:48.72] It's like pain is our only inspiration
[03:00.45]
[03:13.19] Yeah, I see a place where little boys and girls
[03:15.83] Are shells in the oceans not knowin' they a pearl
[03:18.55] No one to hold 'em while they growin'
[03:20.34] They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
[03:23.98] Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
[03:26.63] And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
[03:29.32] I know this, that people lie, people kneel
[03:31.14] People die, people heal, people steal and people shed tears
[03:34.70] What's real? blood spills, gun kill, the sun still rise
[03:39.28] Above me, trust me, it must be, morning time
[03:44.67] Wake up, the stake's up
[03:47.32] Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
[03:51.03] But when the karma come back for what you do
[03:53.72] It's too late to make up some excuse
