Feather - Nujabes, Cise Starr, Akın

Light as a feather when I'm floating through

Reading through the daily news

Measuring the hurt within the golden rule

Centimetres of ether, I'm heating the speaker

Motivational teacher with words that burn people

Seeing the headlines lined with discord

It's either genocide or the planet in uproar

Never good.

The rules of paradise are never nice

The best laid plans of Mice and Men are never right

I'm just a Vagabond with Flowers for Algernon

An Average Joe who knows what the fuck is going on

It's the hope of my thoughts that I travel upon

Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone, so I'm

Drifting away like a feather in air

Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator

Riding the escalator to the something that is greater, so I'm

Drifting away like a feather in air

Letting my soul take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator

Riding the escalator to the something that is greater

Taking chances, word tap dancing with wolves

In an ice arena out there, deep in the woods of

Arizona, the sun be high, life's ironic

Ain't trying to be Dalí when I write surreal life

I paint it vivid, habitat crazy insane

Watch the propaganda six o'clock news and it's saying

Cultures clash, for black folk and white trash

They revel in the cyberspace that might crash, dash

To millennium a million miles of running

At the speed of now back, don't return gunning

Rambo style, gung ho child gunning

Ammo blao two times loud stunning

Stunning, when I hit ya, lift you off the Earth like

Ayo, take you right back to birth and

Niggas wonder why, they might wonder why

This shit might happen but it does, they go

Drifting away like a feather in air

Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator

Riding the escalator to the something that is greater, so I'm

Drifting away like a feather in air

Letting my soul take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator

Riding the escalator to the something that is greater

Treat you better than me, cause that's the heavenly key

To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be

It's the knowledge of self, understanding of the things around me

That becomes the wisdom that I need

Living this life to the best of my ability

Channeling energy to my thoughts into your symmetry

Remember me, because my prose remain gold

I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangol

It never ends, I keep it ruling like a cypher

The first caveman bringing fire

Innovating and higher;

to blast mistakes I raise the stakes

It's double or nothing in this vaccuumless space

I will, survive, divine the time to cry

Fuck a hold or hide, I'm alive with pride

And I drove the Chevy to the Levy

But the Levy was dry, singing "This will be the day that I die"
