Irmin Schmidt - Lost Somebody lyrics

[Intro: Q-Tip] Yeah, Phife—for your life [Verse 1: Q-Tip] Now, in the time when n***as wasn't supposed to be born Best of us are left for dead in cities that looks war-torn Vietnam going wrong, h**n going strong Neighbors would whoop that bad a** Just for running through their lawn Walt met Cheryl, Cheryl met Walt Trinidadian love sprouting through the asphalt Love was consummated and the angels registrated Two were to be born but only one of 'em made it Inside a cloud of sorrow, a silver lining and joy It's a bouncing baby boy, a king's name they would employ And before he even squeaks, it's decided it's Malik Now give him hope, give him care Raise him while his grandma there Watch out momma, if you stare Light brown eyes'll keep you there Let's progress the story just a little bit Malik, I would treat you like little brother that would give you fits Sometimes overbearing though I thought it was for your benefit Despite all the spats and sh**s and ematically documented The one thing I appreciate, you and I, we never pretended Rhymes we would write it out, hard times fight it out Gave grace face to face, made it right And now you riding out, out, out, out, damn [Chorus: Cat] Have you ever loved somebody? (Phife dawg, man) Way before you got to dream? (Bow wow, woof woof) No more crying, he's in sunshine [Verse 2: Jarobi] Never thought that I would be ever writing this song Hold friends tight, never know when those people are gone So, so beautiful, opined indisputable Heart of a largest lion trapped inside the little dude Took me quick to granny house, now we eat the curry food Talking hopes, dreams, plans, leak ice, never scared Brand new pair of Nike Airs, avenue of sairs Mailbox mayors, all our rhymes was written there A n***a wanna battle, you know Phifey didn't care Jarobi with the beat, into new a** we tear I'mma flash forward well, took a trip to ATL Cooking in the kitchen making sure my n***a eating well Wedding in Tobago, you know exactly where I'm at Standing on the side of black Malik Izaak [Chorus] Have you ever loved somebody? Way before you got to dream? No more crying, he's in sunshine He's alright now, see his wings Have you ever loved somebody? Way before you got to dream? No more crying, he's in sunshine He's alright now, see his wings Have you ever loved somebody? Way before you got to dream? No more crying, he's in sunshine He's alright now, see his wings Have you ever loved somebody? Way before you got to dream? No more crying, he's in sunshine He's alright now, see his wings Have you ever loved somebody? Way before you got to dream? No more cry [Guitar Solo: Jack White]
