Talib Kweli - The Corner lyrics

rate me

The corner, the corner

Will you learn earn it, will you make it term it

so place in your mind where your darkest stores is I

is where I shout and some get elevated

that was just a dream

the corner, the corner

that was just a dream

Man it works it like dogs

I time swag it the copses

corner the market like cooperate from my corner office

smile got a lungs, black is the smokers tryin to pass to the soaking

hit in the back of the dough with the fofin

put Olympics with niggas is passin the torches

to every hand in the ghetto we answer the greatle

we trapped in the force, we ran from captains of boat chips

to the corners with the ragging approaches

now we crime with spectacular focus chock us,

in the corner of the club making the models nervous

any nigga tryin to front them in some bottle surface

we follow verdicts like boo is the follow..

respect what they say yesterday is fights tomorrow is bird us

I'm hopin to pray that you never forget where you came from

post it the slaves accept their lives post to be hand from

nightmare get the shy line the road with the same gun

That was just a dream, that's me in the corner

that's me in the spot,

life fuck a cop don't say I ain't warned you

tryin to keep up the weed

and I don't know if you can do it,

oh no I said too much, that was just a dream

I've been said enough,

That was just a dream, that's me in the corner

Woke up this morning life fuck all of my aponeys

grab my strapped jump up in my hooked

hit the block and hit some donuts

all hangin out the window middle fingers to the police

shining diamonds got them blinded by reflections of this roll it

I remember I was broke a shit

they didn't know me then, niggas hands out

always on that homie shit

sometimes I get paranoid like when I was holing bricks

everyone is a suspect, be careful who you rolling with

for that blow guns blow like pumpets

home invasions get your ticket free lunches

reminiscent on remi that's the remedy roof over my head

you've seen how they did Kenedy

life is a traffic jam tryin to get by

..time to get high no why because

That was just a dream, that was just a dream

that's me in the corner

that's me in the spot light losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream, try, cry, why, try

That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream

Dream
