Talib Kweli

Intro:
Yeah, they say you can’t please everybody
Let’s go…yeah!
Ay…Dave, you know what that sound like?

Feel the heartbeat, feel the heartbeat
On your eardrum, we got a new heartbeat
Feel the heartbeat, feel the heartbeat
On your eardrum, we got a new heartbeat

Verse 1:
Yo, what becomes of a dream deffered?
It never makes it to the world to be seen or heard
Do it breathe? Do it got a heartbeat? Is it alive?
Do it leave? Only to become a star in the sky
I believe, scratch that, I know – this ain’t my full potential
Only using ten percent of my mental on instrumentals
But incidentally, my energy heavenly
Can he be so ill? There ain’t no pill or no remedy
The maker of memories, possess the recipe to your fate
Make no mistake, there ain’t no escapin’ your destiny
Especially when til’ death do us part like wedding rings
I’ll be here forever, put that on everything

Chorus:
You’re everything man
You’re everything man

Verse 2:
Your alpha and your omega, your beginning and your end
Your father, your brother, your lover, your friend
The blood in your vein that gets spilt and runs in the drain
That’s right, my flow one and the same, the joy and the pain
My name the burner that destroyed the toy and the train
All city, all night, I’m enjoying the fame
I’m a hustler, I’m a gangster and a rebel
With the rank of a general in the battle between God and the devil
I lay claim to your spirit, your religion, your belief system
I do your hittin’, your catchin’ and your relief pitchin’
This kid proficient in any position
The man of your dreams and your nightmares commanding your vision
Til it’s quite clear like light beer, yeah I’m standin’ right here
I get you hot but stay cooler than the night air
I try to fit it in the same rhyme, but realize
I can’t be everything to everyone at the same time

Chorus:
You’re everything man
You’re everything man

Outro (sung):
Feel it, said I can feel it
You’re my everything man, I can feel it
You wanna be it
