Lifetime - Mos Def

The summit, the peaks

The plains and the valley

The ballad, the fog, the bank with the alley

The waking hour, the moment, the dream

The moaning, the murmur, the laughter, the scream

The filling beginning, the quiet finale

Eh eh eh eh lifetime, lifetime

Keep keeping on Maintain the rock, keep up the rock

The lights in the plaza meant there’s something fantastic

The moment I met you, the first look was like magic

Yeah, there’s the way that it is and the way that it feels

There’s the distance between the ideal and the bills

Yet, I see all the numbers;

I still lull for the dreamer

I thank God for the dreamers, lifetime

Maintain the rock, keep up the rock

Maintain the spot, keep up the block

Maintain the rock, keep up the rock

Ehhh

I know this much is true

We don’t wanna be lonely

Whether kind or you’re cruel, be you no more oh lonely

The riot is easy and the silence is loud

You can build yourself up by just turning things down

We will fashion the law, so why should we feel lonely?

When forever is only… Lifetime

Keep keeping on Maintain the rock, keep up the block

Maintain the rock, keep up the rock

Lifetime
