I dreamt that I could paint you with words
But there were no colors bright enough
Black or white enough
Blue or green enough, it didn't mean enough
You are the star that touched the earth
Shine bright for all eyes to see
Radiate and touched me
Now I'm shining like you do
It was dim before I knew you
Bright light for weeping eyes to get used to
Trust who, that's some shit i had to adjust to
Soon as you relax, they ease back and cold bust you
Love murdered in Brooklyn, sound the alarm
But you still remain calm, my passion is unarmed
I tried to practice my war like tactics
But in your clutch and your touch, my armor just collapses
Such bliss breeds obliviousness
So recollect sweet breath still wet on my lips
My prayer's this: Go protect my beloved and keep her covered
From the valley to the summer like the land undiscovered
(like the stars)

Talib Kweli
You know what, they say that beauty's
in the eye of the beholder
So I use my third, and now our love is solid like a boulder
Want to be with you as I get older
And that's my word, sure as I stand on my ancestors' shoulders
You see through my drama and my world like a stage
Not the same years but living in the same age
Just the quality, not the quantity
Follow me, definitely
Far from probably, got to be
You and me, beautifully fit like

Now I'm back cause of what you do to me
You like my reflection, better half to my whole
Like lyrics to the beat, you the mate for my soul
The breath for my life, my sister and my lover
Used to have cold feet, now you the warmth under my covers
I can't ignore your aura cuz it grabbed me by the hand
Like the moon pulled the tide and the tide pulled the sand
Both
Because you're fruitful, beautiful
Smart, lovable, huggable, doable like art
Suitable to be part of the cosmos
With my eyes closed, I see you clearly
Combined lifetimes with like minds, your lovelight shines
Bright the apple of my eyesight
The tender kiss that whets my appetite
My mighty Aphrodite, the flame that ignite me
Your name just excite me
Your eyes so alive they invite me
Cause you are so beautiful
You don't even know the length I would go
To make absolutely sho' you is respected and protected
And never neglected, I hope my prayers is accepted
That you always will be watched over
And never rocked over
And if you need me to, I'll stop over
To check on you, I'd never jet on you
I know a lot of foolish cats that slept on you
But what I'm gonna do is be totally committed
If you need me I'll be hotter than the New York Minute
With a hundred percentage, from the start to the finish
Cause the vibe you give leave me so replenished
It's a new beginning, this is serious business
Got my heart and soul in it
It's the way that I'm living
Let it be known that I'm devoted, it's gon' always prevail
The newly risen, truely living universal for real
