The new wine is dying on the vine

how much must you age before you're ageless?

align yourself with the divine

allow your inner sage to burn your rage less

'cause I find you're testaments of time

there is no space for time within your mind

if your looking for yourself, yourself you'll find

through the crystal of your spirit you'll inherit the divine

you are God, you best believe

don't waste your time down on your knees

it's everybody for themselves

you have the fire and the cross

don't save your soul it's sour loss

collective soul, collective well

The new wine is dying on the vine

how much must you age before you're ageless?

align yourself with the divine

allow your inner sage to burn your rage less

'cause I find you're testaments of time

there is no space for time within your mind

if your looking for yourself, yourself you'll find

through the crystal of your spirit you'll inherit the divine

you are God, you best believe

don't waste your time down on your knees

it's everybody for themselves

you have the fire and the cross

don't save your soul it's sour loss

collective soul, collective well

Chorus (x2):

Now do you know how I feel tonight?

Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight?

See how I shine I'm a star, yeah

Now do you know who you are, yeah?

I'm that atonement son

that's like a bible and gun

pea-cocked and ready aimin' steady as a ray of the sun

my ammunition, intuition, full eclipse of my lung

son, you could never guess what planet I'm from

my emcee name is my birth name, my first name

alias is all of us, soul of us, the fall of us

to surely come when we deny it

loudest nigga gets quiet

prison of pieces of riot

sell your soul if you wanna, but that don't mean I'mma buy it

see I've been conscious of your nonsense

they imprints have been quiet

and I ain't gonna lie it

be to hard to deny it

I ain't from your block and never had to deal with your shit

never had a glock never kept it real with no bit

and when I saw a nigga like you, son I practically hit

'cause you did what you did and I wasn't the kid

don't give a fuck now, I be the first one to playa hate

the eye of the needle set the record straight

and I retire late, retire late, retaliate, retaliate

and I be fishin' on that same star you be wishin' on

make you move son, you know the mission's on

so never question who I am, God knows

and I know God personally

in fact he lets me call him me

in fact he lets me call him me

never question who I am, God knows

and I know God personally

in fact she lets me call her me

in fact she lets me call her me

Chorus (x6)

I can recite the grass on the hill and memorize the moon

I know the cloudforms of love by heart

and have brought tears to the eye of a storm

and my memory banks vaults offorests and amazon river banks

and i've screamed them into sunsets that echo in earthquakes

shadows have been my spotlight as I monologue the night and dialogue with days

soliloquies of wind and breeze applauded by sun rays

we put language in zoos to observe caged thought

and tossed peanuts and p-funk at intellect

and motherfuckers think these are metaphors

i speak what I see

all words and worlds are metaphors of me

my life was authored by the moon

footprints written in soil

the fountain pen of martian men

novelling human toil

and yes, the soil speaks highly of me

but earth seeds root me poet-tree

now, maybe i'm too serious

too little here to matter

though i'm riddled with the reason of the sun

i stand up comets with the audience of lungs

this body of laughter is it with me or at me?

hue more or less though gender's mute

and the punch line has this lifeline at it's root

i'm a star this life's the suburbs, I commute

Chorus (x2)

Other Saul Williams song Lyrics
Telegram "I'm falling up flights of stairs, scraping myself from the sidewalk, jumping from rivers to bridges, drowning in pure air. Hip Hop is lying on the side of the road, half dead to itself. Blood scrawled over its mangled flesh, like jazz, stuffed into an oversized record bag. Tuba lips swollen beyond recognition. Diamond studded teeth strewn like rice at karma's wedding. The ring bearer bore bad news. Minister of information wrote the wrong proclamation. Now everyone's singing the wrong song. Dissonant chords find necks like nooses. That nigga kicked the chair from under my feet. Harlem shaking from a rope, but still on beat. "Damn that loop is tight." Nigga, found a way to sample the way the truth the light. Can't wait to play myself at the party tonight. Niggas are gonna die. Cop car swerves to the side of the road. Hip Hop takes its last breath. The cop scrawls vernacular manslaughter onto a yellow pad, then balls the paper into his hand, deciding he'd rather free-style. "You have the right to remain silent." You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to remain silent. And maybe you should have before your bullshit manifested. These thugs can't fuck with me, they're too thugged out. Niggas think I'm bugged out, 'cause I ain't Sean John or Lugged out. This ain't hip hop no more, son, it's bigger than that. This ain't ghetto no more, black, it's bigger than black. So where my aliens at? Girl, we're all illegal. This system ain't for us. It's for rich people. And you ain't rich, dawg, you just got money. But you can't buy shit to not get hungry. These thugs can't fuck with me, they're too thugged out. Niggas think I'm bugged out, 'cause I ain't Sean John or Lugged out. This ain't hip hop no more, son, it's bigger than that. This ain't ghetto no more, black, it's bigger than black. So where my aliens at? Girl, we're all illegal. This system ain't for us. It's for rich people. And you ain't rich, dawg, you just got money. But you can't buy shit to not get hungry. ..."	List Of Demands (Reparations) "I want my money back. I'm down here drowning in your fat. You got me on my knees praying for everything you lack. I ain't afraid of you. I'm just a victim of your fears. You cower in your tower praying that I'll disappear, I got another plan, one that requires me to stand. On the stage or in the street, don't need no microphone or beat. And when you hear this song, if you ain't dead then sing along. Bang and strum to these here drums til you get where you belong. I got a list of demands written on the palm of my hands. I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. We're living hand to mouth! You wanna be somebody? See somebody? Try and free somebody? I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands. I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. We're living hand to mouth! Hand to mouth! I wrote a song for you today while I was sitting in my room. I jumped up on my bed today and played it on a broom. I didn't think that it would be a song that you would hear, but when I played it in my head, I made you reappear. I wrote a video for it and I acted out each part. Then I took your picture out and taped it to my heart. I've taped you to my heart dear girl, I've taped you to my heart and if you pull away from me you'll tear my life apart.. I got a list of demands written on the palm of my hands. I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. We're living hand to mouth! You wanna be somebody? See somebody? Try and free somebody? I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands. I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. We're living hand to mouth! Hand to mouth!..."
Black Stacey "I used to hump my pillow at night. The type of silent prayer to help myself prepare for the light. Me and my cousin Duce would rank the girls between one and ten and the highest number got to be my pillows pretend...."	1987 "* send corrections to the typist Acid-wash Guess with the leather patches Sportin' the white Diadoras with the hoodie that matches I'm wearing two Swatches and a small Gucci pouch..."
Coded Language "Whereas, breakbeats have been the missing link connecting the diasporic community to its drum woven past Whereas the quantised drum has allowed the whirling mathematicians to calculate the ever changing distance between rock and stardom...."	Elohim 1972 "In 1972 my mother was rushed from a James Brown concert in order to give birth to me my style is black hole most niggas simply sound like earth to me..."
Fearless "I don't know whether to laugh or cry and I don't know whether to live or die I kept my love for her locked deep inside it cuts like a knife..."	Lalala "Nigga, you betta drink half a gallon of shaolin before you pluck the strings of my violin, my life is orchestrated, like london symphony, concentrated. Niggas waited..."
