It's like we're all just going in circles....
Not getting anywhere really,
And I mean, I was always dreamer…
But lately I'm trying embrace the simple things in life…
The crow circles around, and he circles again,
He's going nowhere, with no cares, no purpose or end,
He cuts the wind smooth, breaks off and dives deep,
Keep his eyes wide and cries as the night sleeps,
He glides free, not a thought… touches his head,
Ignorance is bliss, he knows nothing of d**h,
Knows no comfort or rest, he's God's pride and joy,
An animal that embraces life and rides the void,
enjoy the silent noise, no need to wake up from this dream,
Disconnected and selfless, a presence left up in the trees,
Life plays out beneath him, busy streets, places to go,
He looks down… down… but he's in a place of his own,
All that remains is the crow, the mind of a new born,
The silence is too strong; it's time to just move on,
He takes flight, soars and blends with the late night,
Pendulum strikes, with the day light….
Sunrise, he flies as he open his dreams,
Soars over roses and streams… oceans and seas,
No mind, to what's below and beneath,
Alone on his own, he knows that he's free...
Hook
He knows that he's free, there's peace some place just not here,
It's not near, it's some place above, and maybe not real,
But, until the crow lies, body broken on the ground,
We're all free, (all free) floating on the clouds…
Mos Def Scratch:
Maintain and keep silent...
