Lyrics Love - Mos Def
They
say
the
goodness
in
life
belongs
to
those
who
believe
So,
I
believe...
YES!
I
start
to
think,
and
then
I
sink
Into
the
paper,
like
I
was
ink
When
I'm
writing
I'm
trapped
in
between
the
line
I
escape
when
I
finish
the
rhyme
(aiyyo)
I
start
to
think,
and
then
I
sink
Into
the
paper,
like
I
was
ink
When
I'm
writing
I'm
trapped
in
between
the
line
I
escape
when
I
finish
the
rhyme
(aiyyo)
My
pops
said
he
was
in
love
when
he
made
me
Thought
about
it
for
a
second,
wasn't
hard
to
see
I
could
hear
he
was
sincere,
was
a
game
of
promotion
The
entire
affair's
probably
charged
with
emotion
But
love
call
your
heart,
I
guess
you
got
to
pursue
12-11-73
my
life
is
testament
Praise
the
beneficent,
element
that
rest
Devoid
in
the
form
that
make
love
manifest
I
spent
my
early
years
in
Roosevelt
Project
It
was
a
bright
valley
wit
some
dark
prospects
In
'83,
Venny
C
was
the
host
wit
the
most
I
listened
to
the
Rap
Attack
and
held
the
radio
close
I
listened
to
the
Rap
Attack
and
held
the
radio
close
This
is
far
before
the
days
of
high
glamour
and
pose
Aiyyo
power
from
the
street
light
made
the
place
dark
I
know
a
few
understand
what
I'm
talkin
about
It
was
love
for
the
thing
that
made
me
wanna
stay
out
It
was
love
for
the
thing
that
made
me
stay
in
the
house
Spendin
time,
writin
rhymes
Tryin
to
find
words
that
describe
the
vibe
That's
inside
the
space
When
you
close
yo'
eyes
and
screw
yo'
face
Is
this
the
pain
of
too
much
tenderness
To
make
me
nod
my
head
in
reverence
Should
I
visit
this
place
in
rememberence
To
build
landmarks
here
as
evidence
Nighttime,
spirit
shook
my
temperament
To
write
rhymes
that
portray
this
sentiment
We
live
the
now
for
the
promise
of
the
infinite
We
live
the
now
for
the
promise
of
the
infinite
And
we
believe
in
the
promise
(love,
love)
Yes
yes
y'all
and
we
don't
stop
because
I
start
to
think,
and
then
I
sink
Into
the
paper,
like
I
was
ink
When
I'm
writing
I'm
trapped
in
between
the
line
I
escape
when
I
finish
the
rhyme
I
got
love,
L-O-V-E
and
I
be
Love,
L-O-V-E
to
MC
Get
love,
L-O-V-E
and
I
be
Love,
L-O-V-E
I
MC
Get
love,
L-O-V-E
and
I
be
Love,
L-O-V-E
to
MC
Get
love,
L-O-V-E
and
I
be
The
M-O-S-D-E-F-initely
Check
it
out
y'all,
feel
me
out
y'all
Feel
me
out
y'all,
hear
my
out
y'all
Check
me,

My
folks
said
they
was
in
love
when
they
made
me
I
take
they
love
they
made
me
wit
to
make
rhymes
and
beats
(Can
you
feel?)
The
raw
deal,
it's
all
wheel-driven
Contemplate
the
essence
of
beats,
rhymes
and
living
Speech
in
line
wit
the
rhythm,
designed
wit
the
rhythm
Ears
and
eyes
keepin
good
time
wit
the
rhythm
I
shine
wit
the
rhythm,
the
Black
Star
Gallactica
Big
number
fleetin,
we
ancient
like
the
Abbacca's
After
us,
I
see
most
proceed
to
be
trees
Sproutin
leaves,
given
breeze
to
the
we
who
believe
I
MC,
which
means
I
Must
Cultivate
the
earth
Back
straight
backs,
hard
beats
and
hard
work
I
be
the
funky
drummer
to
soften
the
hard
earth
(Amin)
Pray
Allah
keep
my
soul
and
heart
clean
(Amin)
Pray
the
same
thing
again
for
all
my
team
This
go
out
to
Fort
Greene
and
on
out
to
Queens
Uptown
to
Boogie
Down,
yo
just
look
around
And
shook
up
the
world,
like
Ali
in
6-3
(right)
I'm
reachin
the
height
that
you
said
cannot
be
I'm
bringin
the
light
but
you
said
we
can't
see
Saw
the
new
day
comin,
and
it
look
just
like
me
Some
burst
through
the
clouds,
my
photo
ID
I
bring
light
to
your
day
and
raise
yo'
degree
The
Universal
Magnetic,
you
must
respect
it
From
end
to
beginning,
great
true
and
livin
Ever
changing,
it
was
a
state
of
magnificent
Building
it
now
for
the
promise
of
the
infinite
Building
it
now
for
the
promise
of
the
infinite
because
I
start
to
think,
and
then
I
sink
Into
the
paper,
like
I
was
ink
When
I'm
writing
I'm
trapped
in
between
the
line
I
escape
when
I
finish
the
rhyme
I
got
love,
L-O-V-E
and
I
be
Love,
L-O-V-E
to
MC
Get
love,
L-O-V-E
and
I
be
Love,
L-O-V-E
to
MC
Get
love,
L-O-V-E
and
I
be
Love,
L-O-V-E
to
MC
Get
love,
L-O-V-E
and
I
be
