Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Uh, one two
See this, right here, this is heat
ย
Yo
ย
There's something deep inside
That's telling you there's love so much more
This is just a matter of time
And everything's alright
You know it's not because of money you want
It is just a matter of time, baby
When I feel the weight of my lost innocence
Looking for emotions and I fall aside
Everything is weighing on that dominance
Hoping for new opuses and alibis
And I'm with you, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I could stall from falling
And I bet you, oh, oh, oh, silence the
Voices in your head but there's no place to go
There's something deep inside
That's telling you there's love so much more
This is just a matter of time, baby
ย
I sit back with the microphone
Watching these MCs turn to actors
Deducing all the factors
That flip life into a masquerade
We like a bunch of mannequins, battery operated
Inoculated with five senses
Connect us to the earth
Been sinning since the days of my birth
For what it's worth
This weight of love
I'm steadily spreading love over the beat now
Let's meditate and feel the heat now
Like beautiful rain on a desert plain
'Cause the sun crossed the ground on a weak sound
I break it down to elements, H2O
A place to go that you can't escape the flow
Does not exist
I love the truth so I persist
Intelligent men or just gorillas in the mist
Clenching a black fist
But inside's a dollar bill
I leave a space so you can think about it now
So just chill
ย
There's something deep
There's something deep
There's something deep
There's something deep inside
That's telling you there's love so much more
This is just a matter of time, baby
And everything's alright
You know it's not because of money you want
It is just a matter of time, baby
Black shit, rap shit
ย
Try to step up with the can and the cash shit
Can't get it
In this venture nothing gained
I've only just touched the surface
Once nervous when writing for a worthless purpose
It was once more than this
Before the heart left the beat
The soul left the speech
I'm still trying to reach my niche
And teach to love again inside the hate of a present day
I step after, being genuine was swept away
Before the importance of diamonds bound in a platinum place
Fallen from grace
Not my canvas with another trace of the same thing I came in
This thing is worth saving
Gaining in the pockets, holding tongues are what I'm saying
Blaming myself only for supporting what they're playing
I may peak through the storm
For now it's raining, unchanging
Of late it's hard to be creative
Although creating is native to me, I tried to be
Even patience couldn't save it
From the days of pages they couldn't believe I would say this
No longer without wings, Kamau is what my name is
Too many undermine what I underline
Placing my poetry underneath their making of rhymes
It was a creation of frustration
Brown bricks or blank slate
Subway trains and cardboard bound with masking tape
It was the sound of the evening
The way the day grew late
Words tumbled from lungs over my tongue
And gave a new taste to my fate
It doesn't even matter how their chatter would paint us
With love on our side, they could barely stand against us
Um, what up, uh, Kevin, what's going down?
Um, I got your message and, uh, yeah
Basically call me back and tell me
Sorry about the length of the message
But you know, you feeling it?
ย
Alright man, peace
