Let It Burn (feat. Rapsody & Chris Rivers) - Talib Kweli

I know you're weary Your hands they're weak Your core has been shaken By the battles you've seen No need for apologies These are the remnants Of a life shackled and chained And you were the victim And oh let it burn My heart and yours And oh let go of it all And just watch it fall My soul is empty For the world to see Abandoned and hollow This is the wreckage you leave The damage is done There's nothing you can say These walls we've built so high They've crumbled with rage And oh let it burn My heart and yours And oh let go of it all And just watch it fall I know it's too late It's all over now Nothing but ashes Just pouring down And oh let it burn My heart and yours And oh let go of it all And just watch it fall

I know you need me Let's just slow our breathing I can feel my heart beating in my chest I can't control this feeling When you hold me so dearly With your lips slowly running down my neck So don't say a word I know we don't worry But I don't wanna lose what we got going on So baby, let it burn I know it's gonna hurt But I ain't never letting go I'm holding on Just let it burn We're going down Ain't no saving us now So just hold on tight We gon' be all right We're going down Ain't no going back now So just hold on tight We gon' be all right So no more running Let's just do less talking And a little more touching in my bed So don't say nothing I just need your loving I can feel it rushing through my head So don't say a word I know we don't worry But I don't wanna lose what we got going on So baby, let it burn I know it's gonna hurt But I ain't never letting go I'm holding on Just let it burn We're going down Ain't no saving us now So just hold on tight We gon' be all right We're going down Ain't no going back now So just hold on tight We gon' be all right We're going down Ain't no saving us now So just hold on tight We gon' be all right We're going down Ain't no going back now So just hold on tight We gon' be all right

Uhn, yeah, uh-huh... Rock with it, rock with it Rock with it and Clap your hands and Roll with it, roll with it, roll with it and Rock with it, rock with it, rock with it and It's natural, baby Uh, M.E.D Yeah Came so easy when I wrote this Reason they hate so hard... Man Trade call cause their hand they fail all We separate weak from the strong Now your lawful golddiggers never let girls evolve Separate love from the horn Street methods, reflection and there's no face Beef hard to swallow with no taste At least I die on my feet, ain't defeat No coward dead with a heartbeat In park fleet hood in the hood with K Ridge Madlib connect land like bay bridge Same kids didn't hoop a loop this (What'up?) Can't stop hip hop since '86 (Represent) Ask you chick what's her favorite disc Don't hate when she mentioned this shit Classic Timeless everlasting music next generation passing Hear melodies feel memories flashing Tears to the laughing Classic Blast through years still blasting J Dill, 2Pac, time traveling For the masses, black and latins Turn it up React with classics Life (How ya' doin'?) It's a honor and pleasure I treasure being the voice Of the children of the Lesser God gonna test ya' You gotta survive When they apply the pressure And give you a shock like a lie detector Where were you when they were passing out Karma Don't let me black out on you I'm blasting outta space Like the astronaut farmer Cause the inner city grios is obsessed with the kilos Homie your range is shorter than Danny Devito So ain't nobody planning the sequel Jumping jet Could land on your ego We go Next level like Show and A. G You get the picture clearer than slow motion on the HD TVs I witnessed the death of the CD Liberate yourself from that format and be free These dudes trying to be new instead of classic You represent your block, my crew is intergalactic And we, and we... Timeless everlasting music next generation passing Hear melodies feel memories flashing Tears to the laughing Classic Blast through years still blasting J Dill, 2Pac, time traveling For the masses, black and latins Turn it up React with classics Material, yeah, yeah, yeah Material, uh-huh Classic Uh-huh, Material...
