Bounce (feat. Talib Kweli)

This is a state of emergency, this face is insurgency

You heard of me?

Culturally, it's currency, man, hey

Live how you wanna live, your whole life in front of you

Be who you wanna be, do what you wanna do

You can truly be free when you learn how to control yourself

Say you know your partner, but do you really know yourself?

Falling for the sins and the flesh, that's a good bet

Threaten me with a good time, that's a good threat

Talk like sex, but they ain't got the goods yet

They just two girls, but they not out the woods yet

In this online world, too many strangers think they friends with me

Careful where I go, I don't give everyone my energy

Look into the mirror, ask myself, do you remember me?

Who you trying to fight, when you your own worst enemy?

I'm a grown ass man, is this maturity?

Swinging, as I'm clinging to my idols for security

Sometimes I feel like I done hurt myself for you to notice me

A beauty in the eye of the beholder, what the soldier see?

There's beauty in the struggle

'Cause the struggle give you character

You fighting mother nature, but you lack the strength to challenge it

You might as well get on her good side and empower her

Plant flowers, raise a family, shower her with gifts

Shout your love from on top and let the world hear

Give her your vision for the future like the World's Fair

Stop trying to live like the world's fair

Learn how to listen and be the world's ear
