Artist: Stalley f/ De La Soul Album: Ohio Song: Navajo Rugs Typed by: kirenamloh@msn.com, Stalley [Stalley] Moleskin slippers dreaming through this peace pipe Praying in the dark hoping that I see light Tryin to stay sharp with a dark vision Gotta couple heathens with me tryin to bombard the system My man just went to jail and brought a gun charge with him On top of that other felonies I told him hold his head, I'll make sure he lives through these melodies I hate to see him trapped, wish these raps could just set him free Whoever thought selling hard would get you 17 at 17? I mean yesterday was everything if there's no hope for tomorrow And money ain't everything, I can go broke tomorrow Sometimes I find happiness in a broke down cigar in an isolated room on this Navajo rug Mind drifting, smoke disappearing through the wall I hear the loud voices, that's my homies callin Open up the windows, let the angels fall in [Chorus] As I bob and weave between stars Learn and dream between Mars When words are weaved, pictures are painted like Navajo rugs and woven blankets As I bob and weave between stars Learn and dream between Mars When words are weaved, pictures are painted like Navajo rugs and woven blankets [Stalley] ...Got so much on my mind All these thoughts weaving in and out created design So intricate like hand-spun rugs They say they talking outside, but I hear no love I feel the shots in my back, but there's no slugs I brush the dirt off my shoulders, wipe away all the mud that's been slung They say the sword ain't as mighty as the tongue The horns get the attention, but the war starts with the drum 808s' and low ends beating on my chest like King Kong Gorilla warfare, the fall's here You could feel it in the song, all the worrying is gone I sit Indian style wrapped in blankets, smoking on a bong Tryin to find my inner peace, juggling stone Never take it for granted, what the struggle is for Cause through that dark hole, life's beautiful, like emeralds and gold There's diamonds in the dirt, just gotta dig through some coal [Chorus] [Posdnuos] Heart woke up, no longer confused but yawning The bloodstream came to collect dues this morning For all the science we drop, the parachute supplies are limited, coded in images Yet the code of the streets, leave our thoughts with no access The revenue of color all reduced to a blackness But inside the dark, I can find the calm That's why we close our eyes to concentrate The cons debate, against the pros Talking first degree murder on the clock, they got time to kill I'm intricate to be up in it So I defend every minute, with palms open for dimes to deal Perimeter's occupied by a few chosen To take heed to the fact the few in here is posin Under laws of lies, attracted to the warmth like wool But don't let it get pulled over the eyes Oh Lord... [Chorus] [Dave] Distant like asteroids These last McCoys wanna pan until Aquarius is present Not a hand or crescent equivalent Does the world win when the world cringes from buckets of ice water that don't benefit mine or my people's ailments? Where heartache became a feeling, beneath every roof is a ceiling So I stay outdoors, acknowledge constellations, I call it a map They say, "Your head's in the cloud, Dave~!" Well, that's a trap Imagine that, insults of a mind Healing a concubine appealing even though your queen good Your concept of a king could... Use a bit of a light, so you can see you the full light in her eyes; I was never the book worm But with reservations for the so-called facts, there's a book learned Pages over loud speakers, endowed features allows me to penetrate and smoke an L A rather peace pipe, dreams of divine beings of the Northern Nile I'm nice with it but you ignore the smile In reminisce of a higher learning I bow in greetings - Salaam, eyes closed give me affirm, firmly [Chorus] "I just wanna let everybody know, how much I love my dad and I appreciate everything he does for me And.. Ohio will always be classic and live forever" "I know Ohio gonna be a classic and live forever P.S.: I wanna be JUST LIKE YOU when I grow up, I love you" "You made a classic, daddy! (One more time) You made a classic, daddy... OHIO WILL LIVE FOREVEEEEER~!! (Don't scream like that, one more time now, one two three..) Ohio will LIIIIVE foreverrr! (Hahaha! Say "Ohio will live forever") Can I just, do a di' voice? (Regular voice, don't sing it) Heh.. (Go ahead...) Ohio will live foreverrrrrr... (Hehe!)"
