Mos Def - Lifetime lyrics

[Verse 1] The summit, the peaks The plains and the valley The ballad, the fog, the bank with the alley The waking hour, the moment, the dream The moaning, the murmur, the laughter, the scream The filling beginning, the quiet finale Eh eh eh eh lifetime, lifetime Keep keeping on Maintain the rock, keep up the rock [Verse 2] The lights in the plaza meant there's something fantastic The moment I met you, the first look was like magic Yeah, there's the way that it is and the way that it feels There's the distance between the ideal and the bills Yet, I see all the numbers; I still lull for the dreamer I thank God for the dreamers, lifetime [2x] keep keeping on Maintain the rock, keep up the rock Maintain the spot, keep up the block Maintain the rock, keep up the rock [Verse 3] Ehhh I know this much is true We don't wanna be lonely Whether kind or you're cruel, be you no more oh lonely The riot is easy and the silence is loud You can build yourself up by just turning things down We will fashion the law, so why should we feel lonely? When forever is only... Lifetime [2x] Keep keeping on Maintain the rock, keep up the block Maintain the rock, keep up the rock Lifetime [13x] [various tones]
