Erick The Architect and Lalah Hathaway - Liberate

(?)

What did she say?
The fire of what?

Time ticks by, six, seven, eight
Gotta slow it down, gotta change your fate
I see the God in everyone, on a center stage
That's liberate, that's liberate (liberate)
Time ticks by, six, seven, eight (seven, eight)
Gotta slow it down, gotta change your fate (change your fate)
I see the God in everyone, on a center stage (center stage)
That's liberate (liberate), that's liberate (liberate)

How you my family when your sister and your mammy ugly?
Music had a grip on me like your own mama hugged it
I drown in thought, would I evolve off understanding that?
I fly alone and my emotions brought a planet back
Shit, can't manage that, big screen to MIRAMAX
I was just a young nigga, had my soul tinted black
Just a young nigga, watchin' old niggas peddle crack
Harsh to my emotions, I escaped from hood habitat
My fortune fewer, I been ballin' with no arm sleeves
So flee, Jordans, break 'em in like car thieves
Make your own business is truly a bizarre dream
Especially, when your school ain't got no basketball team
Champ in here like Hakeem, the block work is stock greens
Hustled when I wanna, never fumbled with the hijinx
I escaped a lot, name a project with a fireplace
Thought there was a drought of good niggas, but they (liberate)
Rumbled with some niggas, not old enough to buy drinks
Influenced by them drug dealers with them fly minks
If you see, shorty, I can guarantee she my tings
Dead this conversation, you a rapper but your rhyme stinks
Don't forget to shine your trophies, 'cause we all got 'em
Startin' with the top row, or the ones that's at the bottom?
Got so many new ones, I think that I forgot some
If you do it on our own, it means you already got one

Time ticks by, six, seven, eight
Gotta slow it slow down, gotta change your fate
I see the God in everyone, on a center stage
That's liberate, that's liberate (liberate)
Time ticks by, six, seven, eight (seven, eight)
Sometimes you got it slow down, gotta change your fate (change your fate)
I see the God in everyone, on a center stage (center stage)
That's liberate (liberate), that's liberate (liberate)

(Liberate) liberate

(Liberate) liberate
(Liberate) liberate

(Liberate)

This song is fire, you gotta that on your record
Time ticks by, six, seven, eight
