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 damn 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 nobody 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 d**h 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 genius, 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
