CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : Nights of the Roundtable
[Jay-Z]
I think that, you know, for the most part that was that old way of thinking. That old guard, that this music is here, this music is here. If we take away all the titles of music you take away that this is rock and roll, this is country, this is blues, this is jazz, and we strip is down--its just the same thing. You know, at its core, its just about human emotion, you know, its about passion, its about pain, its about fear, its about aspiration. You know we're all basically the same
[Jay Electronica]
It took a lifetime to learn how to live
Another lifetime to learn how to give
It took 34 trips around the hot sun to land me here
That's why every ear that hears understand me clear
I'm not a rapper, I'm like an angel on the mountaintop
The healing power of God is felt in every fountain drop
(murmuring)
I was not myself last night, in the morning light I can see the changes showing
(Keep it moving now, keep it going now)
As I lay there on the floor staring at the door with jaded eyes
Like a child who was always poor, calling out for more
I could feel the hunger growing
