the tongue - right words lyrics

[verse 1: urthboy]
curse the words, they don’t sound like they wanna be heard
like a defender holding on to the shirt, you let me go
let the message get on with its work, maybe i got it wrong
never took time to get it right, still i got it on
nothing you were caught and on
as if i am from jupiter like dr. octagon
must’ve been the right place but wrong time like dr. john
you know the feeling when you had the ball and knocked it on?
words slip like discs, and slit like wrists
and make the women and men roar with clenched fists, and
clearly i can understand the value of this
and i could see it all perfect if it weren’t for the mist
wish you could connect vowels, an orator
simple as flicking a switch, light up your corridor
it may not be elegant, but what i got is better than nothing at all
and i’ll be there when you call

[chorus: ngaiire]
something’s in the way
trying to find the right words to say to you
guess i can’t explain
gonna find the right words to say to you

[verse 2: the tongue]
every day i’m a new man, my mind’s evolving
doors of perception, mine are revolving
but none of this is random, trying to write the anthem
trying to write a rhyme that’ll give you a couple answers
looking for the right words to cut through the hype
before the world goes bust like bp’s pipes
i’ll put a match to all that, light up your night
sorry it took so long to get it right
i was lost in song, confused like you
feeling hollow in the inside? yeah, me too
but act natural, all you gotta do is feel it
yeah, you just gotta use what you’ve been giving
keep digging, pick your song, sing when you’re winning
these moments of glory can be lost in an instant
another urban legend, it’s there if you listen up
i’ll put it down for anyone who wanna pick it up

[chorus: ngaiire]

[verse 3: the tongue (and urthboy)]
(the ingredients alone do not make the meal, nor tools of a chef with a michelin star)
so we take it back to basics, contents determine your flavor
liquor up our lives and we’ll taste it
(and it should have been simple so i could explain it)
(and you would absorb it, and we will have related)
we testing the powers of your observation
speaking on behalf of the undebated
got a street perspective, let me explain it
just captured the moment, i cannot contain it
unpaid journalism’s underrated
i work for the truth, no product placement
(no agenda here, let me lend your ear)
(we can do what people do every day of the d-mn year)
no, i can’t put a price on what this music did for me
just needed a chance to share my epiphany

[chorus]
[ngaiire ad-libbing]

[verse 4: the tongue]
yeah, okay
i’m thinking up a master plan
now, listen to the voice of an ancient land
i’m looking for a penance, an unwritten future
looking for a friend, love i don’t wanna lose you
these times are crazy, but that’s how life is
always has been, read the writers
war and love, our eternal fires
we all get burned as the flames get higher
we all must learn and we all are teachers
i am my brother’s keeper
i am my sister’s keeper
so keep that in mind next time that you see her
i’m on that reefer but i’m paying attention
i’m a believer, don’t believe in pretending
to be nothing less than that of my own invention
i’m at the ozone layer, in my own dimension
had a inner piece/peace where n-body gets in
mashed up the tax but we got protection
give up on perfection, that’s fabrication
the fabric’s breaking, tearing, we will all make it
we are all one so each one of us is sacred
it’s not a religion, but it’s real as you make it
we’re clearing the air, so much fear you can taste it
i’m clearing my head, too many thoughts have been wasted
now it’s time to clarify a chance to unify
this is the universe, the space between you and i
you can fall down now and give into darkness
dying is easy ’cause death is so heartless
well, it’s in our nature, but it can be harnessed
we can do great things when history asks us
we see where we are now, and look where we started
it’s just like a painting and we are the artists
a work of g*nius, and you were the artist
total control, can you feel the catharsis?
you are the creator, ?
to burn and destroy, what’s your human behavior
is something worth saving?
well, then you must save it
is something worth changing?
well, then you must change it
but just don’t tell me our time is over
i used to believe that, that time is over
