The Roots - The 'notic lyrics

This beautiful blend, i knew her through a mutual friend She was a work of art, a part of my heart from back then A brown skin singer, with a knack for actin, alana's whole attraction Just fractionally based on surface, i got into her mental on purpose And with alertness, as i flirt with her emotion Walls we built up out of nervousness was broken I reminisce on how this black thought had her open Wit da energy that got the whole summertime smokin very hypnotized When it was time we spent time It's no way to rewind or prevent Time from slipping away like day, into the dark And the way that things fall apart, will make some start To feel more, weak or insecure But for whatever reason our relationship remain mature Even when she caught feelings cuz i stay on tour As i reflect on before, and recap the situation I guess from experience, comes education We set on a path to opposite destinations It's best to chalk it up and add it to the elevation Then eventually flow on to lost communication I called but lost all information And with time forgot it, it's not like i'm all in tears about it But the fact still remains that i miss the hypnotic Chorus: repeat 2x You're a shinin' star No matter where you are For the world to see What you truly be She was the hypnotic, and potent as a narcotic The bizarre logic of it all, is why the clock tick Pages of the calendar flip, we can't stop it Time will either tell the tale, or turn a love toxic Now was she real, or an illusion of this optical Confusion with the accent of ancient egypt Or could it be that she's the one i was supposed to be with And together walked this twisted, staircase is somethin realistic Damn, her lips having me addicted to her presence Front page material on essence, a queen, imperial before her Adolescence And as she grew into a woman she became refine I never knew another like her in my lifetime So now i travel through a tunnel of space, without a place On the face of this earth, with this pain gettin worse Drivin me insane, or release i'm touchin the brink, of sanity To think of how i can link, or contact her I was a fool before, but more wise after the fact I'm an*lyzin how i'm wantin her back And wonderin exactly where she could be on the map I'm just sittin here spinning the world on one finger Reoccuring thoughts of this brown skin singer Yo, the psychotic, the hypnotic, yo check it out The most melodic hypnotic, yeah Chorus 4x You're my shinin star No matter where you are Dont know what to say Was it true to be
