@theprofessor,
(*Talib Kweli's "
Definition" playing in the background)
What life amounts to is more than just something from the cash drawer
The gifts that you're blessed with are for life, you don't ask for more
More than a pound, more than a buck, don't pass it on
Keep it with you, as it's worth value to you, and yours
I'm writing this while Talib roars
on Spotify Premium, and right now he's rapping about black wars
and how to represent black people, it's so damn hardcore
that WWE wrestling couldn't match up to that raw
Check it, the world doesn't have to be filled with envy
Jealousy from our enemies is unfriendly
There's a remedy, get rid of it, and eventually
We can all be born and bred in peace
Imagine living in a colony, where there's disease
and then wiping the whole bitch off the centrepiece
The very CITADEL of the very Earth that we walk on
Tell that HIV it can jog on, so long
And we can go on and get our roll on/roll-on like deodorants
Keep our hands clean and so on
We can be "Sure" to have a "Right Guard", wrap it up like nylon
Fight on like Zions when they became lions
Rastafarians and octogenarians
Zoroastrians, Russians and Asians
Just make your world into something like that - why not? I would
And strengthen it just like plywood
Make it pure like clean water from the spring
Droplets from the cumulus to wash away the trouble life brings
Then make the sunshine come afterwards
To shine prosperous, on top of us
