Lyrics

Uh, one two

See this, right here, this is heat

Yo

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

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

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

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?

Alright man, peace
