Lyrics:
Hey, baby
Just let me do all the work
Wait, let me put this record on
Mmh, I like that
Tonight you're all mine, mmm
Afros, incense, and black lights
Love beads, mood rings and candlelight
Zodiac says the time is right for a 70's love groove
70's love groove
Afros, incense, and black lights
Love beads, mood rings and candlelight
Zodiac says the time is right for a 70's love groove
Do you like my body?
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian
Standin' over by the door
Fell in love with a Chocktaw maid
Over in the Georgia store
Kaw-Liga, ooh
Standin' there, don't never let it show
She don't ever answer, yes or no
And he always wore his Sunday feathers
And carried his old black hawk
Maiden wore her beads and braids
An hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga, ooh
Standin' there, don't never show a sign
'Cause his heart is made of knotty pine
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you ain't never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you don't know what you what miss
Is it any wonder that your face is red?
She has faces
Up in her bedroom and they gaze down on her
Guarding her slumber
A black bead rosary
Under her pillow and when it thunders
She clutches it tightly
And she hears
Silence is white,
Sound is black,
The world is wrapped in a paper sack
And when I leave I close the door
To this galaxy of yours
Dropping by
I open a window
As the breeze blows in the curtains are butterflies
And we hear the church bells ring
Out on a hill
And all of their echoes
Left us singing
Silence is black,
The room is bright,
Our world is basking in tv light
And we are laid out on the floor
Of this galaxy of yours
With all of your heroes waiting
In paper piles laid on the floor
I push my paintbrush lightly
And fill in any empty nail holes
A dresser top,
A jewelry box,
Colored tassels tied in knots
And a porcelain girl danced a music box ballet for us
And your nightlight is a star,
Or a firefly
That leads my gaze up to the ceiling
Wondering if you think that it's the sky
With all of your heroes waiting
Open the window slightly, pick up paper off the floor
I hold my paintbrush tightly, and fill in any empty nail holes
Open the window slightly,
Open the window slightly
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian
Standin' over by the door
Fell in love with a Chocktaw maid
Over in the Georgia store
Kaw-Liga, ooh
Standin' there, don't never let it show
She don't ever answer, yes or no
And he always wore his Sunday feathers
And carried his old black hawk
Maiden wore her beads and braids
An hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga, ooh
Standin' there, don't never show a sign
'Cause his heart is made of knotty pine
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you ain't never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you don't know what you what miss
Is it any wonder that your face is red?
Beneath a shawl of midnight silence
A howling blackness
Where all is remade in necromorphosis
Asleep in human remains
Worn from the stones
Elegiac words
Recounting hopes
And forgotten lives
For beneath them lies
The dust of humans
The dust of dreams
The dust
A coach drawn by the blackest steeds
As befits those who've passed from life
Will bring you to where swarm the specters
Of man's best-loved funerals
The laws of flesh are here repealed
Vigor mortis is now on the way
So count the black beads of your sorrow
While you stammer your frightened prayers
Readjust your vision, see the warp in the shadows...
Carried in her mouth
Glowing like the eyes
Show-stopping sweetheart
Sneak into her dressing room
Going to be perfectly honest
Going to be perfectly honest
Going to be her suspect
She’s been at it again
Throwing herself about
Dwindling dandelions distract
My daughter of darkness
Lady of few words
Absent to stay with you
Blend with the night
We know that’s not inside
Consistent countess
Bring boys black beads
Give glances girls
Glamour galore
Go get them!

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you ain't never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you don't know what you what miss
Is it any wonder that your face is red?
Color everywhere
I might let it all go quiet
Black beads and comfy chairs
If I close my eyes I hear
Ocean waves
I'm back in my favorite place
Palm trees
Blow in the wind like your love on me
Color everywhere
Tuck your toes underneath
My body
Why don't we close our eyes?
White yellow black beads
White petals yellow center
Chains of points of colors
Focus into beads
Cobwebs in the sky
Plumed serpent in colored beads
White yellow black
White yellow black
A face in the way
Centipede
Centipede with an angry man's face
Hides in between
Hidden by the structure
Wound tightly
Untwist the cord
See the many legged spy
That wishes to remain tightly wound
And unseen
For it is the puppeteer
Knot in the stomach
The tightness the death grip of The Hidden One
The serpent holds the keys
Transform
Come into phase with hidden dreams
Centipede's eyes hotly glowing in the rafters
Not seen
In dimensions curled up and tightly wound
Clouds faces in the sky
Eyes everywhere
Eyes everywhere
Eyes everywhere
Bile hot as magma
What festers in the cistern cannot be digested
What cannot be digested lives in Hell
What cannot be digested lives in Hell
How to heal this house?
When they arrest a
Black man they need thirty cops or more well now
When they arrest a
Black man they need thirty cops or more well now hey
If you a black herb smuggler
They will watch you by the hour
It only means that if you have more money
Then you have more power
They will come in the night
And they will read you your rights
There is no need to fight
If you're black there is no need to fight
But when them come to arrest a
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now
When they arrest a
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now hey
Years ago a black man couldn't be a cop
They could only be great dancers
When the whole police department was white
Justice, was the Black Panthers
We've been robbed of our religion
Our government and social position
And you won't see no quick solution
Until you see the black revolution
But when them come to arrest a
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now
When they arrest a
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now hey
"He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him"
"Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead"
They arrest us by the hour
'Cause the black man in the ghetto has power
If he would wake up and unite
The police department would lose the fight
But when them come to arrest a
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now

"He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him"
"Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead"
"He's gonna make it"
"Let the dogs go!"
The 1042's three minutes away, bus bench is peeling
He's waiting in black, beads of sweat rolling
Got an Ingram Mac 10 and a Glock 17
And three hundred rounds with a Marlboro smoking
Like so many before he's counting the times
Life made him this way and who has to pay
It's his last morning his last wait
The last thing he ever will say
Kinda goofy with big rabbit teeth
All freckles and rainbows she sits way too near
He cusses and punches she starts to cry
She'll fuck up his mission so he tells her he's sorry
He could just do it now go out blazing in red
Stupid dumb cow's putting holes in his plan
Then a cop car slows down he pretends that they're kissing
And the girl's head raises and they are
It's 20 years later, he's pretty well off
She's still a bad dresser, freckles and rainbows
And he's saying the prayer before the thanksgiving
And she never knew how she saved his soul
A little bit of love can stop the meanest killing
The offer of a hand to cross a dark road
And it might be a God in the eyes of our killer
Who gave a hand for him to protect and uphold
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian

Yeah, while I'm doing this, I know
The place I really wanna go
The one I love but never gets near me
It's a beautiful day well, it seems as such
Beautiful thoughts means I dream too much
Even if I told you, you still would not know me
Tricky never does, Adrian mostly gets lonely
How we live in this existence, just being
English upbringing, background Caribbean
It's the way that we billety
Sharing a soliloquy
We cut the broken thread from flexibility
Mi chiamo 3D si sono Inglese
No sunshine in my life because the way I deal is hazy
And every day's a daisy 'cause I'm on my toes
While contemporaries of mine remaining comatose
There's a looking glass she's looking through
She hated me, but then she loved me too
I'd lie, not try, so I lost faith
Then turn to her to keep the faith
She told me, take an occupation, or you lose your mind
And on a nine-to-five lemon, looking for the lime
Box clever, watch your system come together
Crazy weather at the end of my tether
Massive in the area, murderer
Attack in the area, murderer
Some go softly, softly round the habitat
Ratchet in the right hand
They got no one to stab it at
Take a walk, Billy, don't be a hero
Effort's on minimal though almost touch zero
Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man
To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram
Car paint blue, green, primer and zinc
Take it to extremities, my purple and pink
I feel the colors fill my room beneath the patter of the rain
I can't stand the drops that dribble down my windowpane
They wash away my shadow and don't even leave a mark upon my soul
They leave the rainbows in the dark
Blues get big, Massive are even larger
Save enough space into the tricky Tardis
We'd trawl what I saw from down in Darren's hall
People laying their claim
In stormy weather it's rain
But you're living on a see-saw
I try to see more
Somebody da-ditty, nobody
Walking on sunshine, but, still, we're treading water
The son of many reasons searching for the daughter
Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jet-set
Silver papers of the sound within my Budakon headset
The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the moonlight kissed them
To Massive Attack, Matt Black appear wearing beads
Two hours traveling, so I wrote this on repeat
Always living fast, people getting jumpy
Where on Gruggy falls I just do the Walter Crumpy
Microphones held close, crouching far apart
Take my peace of mind and sign my name across your heart
[KRS-One]

Oh well
Stakes around his building where his enemy's impaled
He crossed the path of black dolls
Black dolls wit scary eyes oh Mary cries
Black blood you slip, try to stand, fall back in the tub
Crack your skull on the metal forces
Bones and crosses, gray skeleton tones ridin' horses
Aren't you tired of flossin'?
My faith can't take the weight
Summers came and left for fall
Ten thankless years of working hard
The school bell rings the kids come home
But you still feel like you're alone
'Cause your husband holds his whiskey glass
Tighter than our hero's past
Rip those black beads off your throat
And swap them out for a knotted rope
The end is your only friend
Ears are full of rushing blood
You say the things you never could
Pray the lord that you will see
That my eyes bulge out and my body swing
'Cause now I finally understand
Jesus is like every man
He tells you what you want to hear
Until you fall in love
Then he disappears
My faith couldn't take the Weight
When the weight of the world
Falls square on your shoulders
A pin prick or miscall can somehow destroy you
We all are victims with warped expectations
When people can't save us we suddenly hate them
So much, in fact, that we lose our grasp
On reality and responsibility
That we have to ourselves and everybody else
When the weight of the world
Falls square on your shoulders
A pin prick or miscall can somehow destroy you
We all are victims with warped expectations
When people can't save us we suddenly hate them
The 1042's three minutes away, bus bench paint's peeling
He's waiting in black, tense beads of sweat rolling
He's got an Ingram Mac-ten, a Mossberg and a Glock 17
Three hundred rounds and a Marlboro smoking
He's counting the times that led up to this rage
What made him this way, and who is gonna pay
In his last morning, it's his last break
His final say in a crimson spray
She's a goofy runaway with the big bunny teeth
All freckles and rainbows, she's sitting way too close
Well, she talks too loud, he cusses and punches, she just cries
Just to shut her up, he coughs and apologizes
Well, he could just do it now, go out in a blaze of red
That stupid dumb cow's putting holes in his plan
Then a cop car slows and panic he pretends they're kissing
The girl's head raises, and they are
Twenty years later, standing tall, he's pretty well off
She's still a bad dresser, all freckles and rainbows
And he's saying the prayer before Thanksgiving
She never knew how she saved his soul
A little bit of love can stop the worst brutal killing
Well, the offer of a hand just to cross a tense dark road
It might be a God in the eyes of our killer
Who gave a hand for him to protect and uphold
Spoon-feed more lies than we can gulp
Goes too far makes me sick inside
The play runs high they play our minds
While our worlds collide
None are so deaf as ones
won’t hear you when you’re in need
None are so blind as ones
Won’t see them drawing a bead
Swearing black’s white
(Swearing black’s white)
Goes hard and fast
You know fair play never meant to last
A front-page’s
(A front-page’s)
Built on brand new hate
Change something’s a little too late
Headline frame-ups killing good sense
Lead to unleashing dogs of war
The famous script where truth dies first
Seems like I’ve seen it all before
None are so deaf as ones
Won’t hear you when you’re in need
None are so blind as ones
Won’t see them drawing a bead
Swearing black’s white
(Swearing black’s white)
Goes hard and fast
You know fair play never meant to last
A front-page’s
(A front-page’s)
Built on brand new hate
Change something’s a little too late
Ok
Hm, too late
Swearing black’s white
(Swearing black’s white)
Goes hard and fast
You know fair play never meant to last
A front-page’s
(A front-page’s)
Built on brand new hate
Change something’s a little too late
Swearing black’s white
Goes hard and fast
You know fair play never meant to last
A front-page’s
(A front-page’s)
Built on brand new hate
Change something’s a little too late

Beads and Black Ts our who children who we feed (Girl you my OG)
Set a cold night on fire 4 ya
Bet them pussy niggaz won't die 4 ya nah
My faith can't take the weight
The summers came and left like fall, ten thankless years of working hard
The school bell rings, the kids come home, but you feel like you're alone
Because your husband holds his whiskey glass tighter than a hero's past
You rip those black beads off your throat and swap them out for a knotted rope
The end is your only friend
You use that final rush of blood to say the things you never could
I pray the lord that you will see my eyes bulge out and my body swing
Because now I finally understand that jesus is like every man
He tells you what you want to hear until you fall in love, and he disappears
My faith couldn't take the weight
When the weight of the world falls square on your shoulders
A pin prick or missed call can somehow destroy you
We all are victims of warped expectations, when people can't save us we suddenly hate them
So much in fact that we lose our grasp on reality, the responsibility that we have for ourselves
And everybody else, when the weight of the world falls square on your shoulders
A pin prick or missed call can somehow destroy you.
A mausoleum to house the horrors
A Million screaming in the mega tomb
With black rain and beads of blood
Through flames I make my return
Upon a hill that casts shadows
Serpents made of silver Beneath a sheer of ice
A symbol of sacrifice
A crown jeweled in gems Thawed by atomic light
Upon a hill that casts shadows
Alone, the craft has fused
Its wings through atmosphere
I fall upon gravestones
Twisted, tangled, broken bones
Upon a hill that casts shadows
Awakened I've become a path for phantoms
Awakened I've become a path for phantoms
Awakened I've become a path for phantoms
Awakened I've become a path for phantoms
Serpents made of silver beneath a sheer of ice
Serpents made of silver, a symbol of sacrifice
I need, I need, I need, I need
I need, I need, I need, I need
I need, I need, I need, I need
I need, I need, I need, I need
Vengeance
Vengeance
Ooo
Ah-ha, ha-ha
I just wanted have fun
But now it seems I'm the only one
Yeah
Yeah
20 mil mansion, I've only dreamed of it
Always in my cave, Bruce Wayne scenes in it
Best friends gone, that's just my business
Blood and tears in these songs, I'm submitting' it
I don't deserve a vacation
'Cause I haven't made my name famous
Only thing I believe in is my power
And everything that I'm making after hours
Oh, no no no no no no
Oh, no no no
Oh, no no no no no no
Oh
Every heartbreak, I'm destine to feel
Every track, I'm destine to kill
Every title, I'm destine to steal
I'll be an idol, I'm destined, that real
I'm so cold, I make, uh, medicine sick
Or my bars so hot, I give jails a fever
My hairs black beads bounce in abundance
To give up my crown, I'm reluctant, I get up and remember
I wanna be the baddest bastard to make a track hurt
Since the days of MJ or Kanye in 08
Feel like I'm still trying to graduate
And my skin dark as Abel's mixtapes
I don't know where my fate might take me
But I know one thing
I
I want to go
I want to go
I want to go
I want to go
You can't see me, baby
You can't see me, baby, but I'm trying
If I can't reach you, baby, I'll be dying
If I'm not in your eyes, who's occuplying
If you're not on my mind, who am I minding
I dream of our life every night time
Dreamt of my vengeance my whole life time
I've thought of you every November
Since I started pining for your glamour and glitter
But every day, it seems like I run to a place where you can't find
I go somewhere you can't find
