Akon feat Young Blass - Look in my eyes lyrics

(featuring Zap Mama & Talib Kweli)

[Talib]

Ok, its the emcee extraordinaire Talib Kweli

Chillin on Soundbombing 3, with my peoples

From the East, Cypha Soundz, from West, Mr. Choc

This is how we do it, I got y'all back, y'all got mine

Let's do this- no more music motherfuckers

[laughing]

[Zap Mama- Chorus]

Yelling, yelling, yelling away

Going, going, going away

And fly, away

[Talib]

Yo, fly, aint it

Blue skies the limit, the skies infinite

It reflect in the eyes of those who try to send spies in it

Capture the sun if they could, but they go blind by it

Look in the sky and I see Africa's eyes in it

The land is dry like the cry in'finite

The tear we shed grow to fruit til the eye replenish

The industry wanna try to give my rhyme a sentence

Behind bars with my rhymes diminished, they tryna end us

But all them clowns do is give my mind a senate

To watch my people's enemy die in my presence

Fly away on the highest adventure out on the line

And enter the gate of Zion, need to decide who sent em'

I went through the jungle (yeah)

Stalking like a black panther, rap's answer to that cancer

Choking the life out the hood

They won't let a man emancipate his people

This refreshing like the spray of the bay in Puerto Rico

[Chorus] x2

[Zap Mama]

All the things, you desire

Earth...wind...water, fire

These elements hammer nice together

See, you can find it there

Find it there

[Chorus] x2

[Common]

Yo, I came into this world as the naked truth

A little baby girl, trying to make it through

Through this earth, wind, fire and water

That I'm someone's daughter

Cadence of divine order

Sorta sent to let the people know their times spent

It's precious and we can't keep our minds bent

On just the pleasures of sex, drugs, wine, bread

In essence, we one with the environment

Though I've been here, less than a year

Being so close to god, I guess I haven't learned the fear

When I heard nature telling me, time to come home

Told my mind this is the path for you to walk, not to run on

Understand the night, to reach a higher day

Follow yourself so you can fly away (fly away)

Fly away dawg, fly away dawg, fly away dawg, fly away dawg

[Zap Mama]

You are feeling, the stress

But in life, you're truly blessed

Go...for...nothing less

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly away

[Chorus] x4

[Zap Mama]

Go...for...nothing less (x3)
