Nas - The Outcome Lyrics
[jessica care moore]Global warming between my legs, screams against the wavesGave birth to thirteen daughters, so now we never run out of waterMy skin layered in diamonds and sageLeft alone and confused, forces enslaved by daysTime keeps on whorin usGhetto saviors cant keep ignorin usFlowers and flames, flutes from her fingersRifles pointed from her sacOr was it simply a bag of sticks and stonesEither way, she wore a compass on her headRains dont stop the grass from turnin redHer hair was half perm, half dreadWe gave up walking in a past-life and so we danceArms wrapped around my breath and choked me back to lifeA new world wife, reflecting the sun and rolling diceSymbol of the drama yet to come - too late to runTime travelling was lateWatching was a blind mans mistakeAll his assets melted right in front of his faceHis right leg drabbed with demon pasteShoes stayed angel lacedNever count your blessings with hasteEven a prophet can catch a caseDidnt realize how sweet the future might tasteTelepathically cutting through mental gatesWords were weapons against their hateShepherds search for stars in her hairHer chest grew fermented like yeastShe broke her body like aged breadHe gave her truth from all the books hed readShe wrote her poems inside the mudSacrificed her cervix to fix the futureNamed their boys and spit truth inside his mouthRead warm prophet, writing twisted scriptures inside her bellyResurrected from bones and dirtShe made hard niggaz smileLeft her seeds inside the earthGave hustlers and killers lifes worthThis is the life we chose, remember who was here firstFind a reason why you curseGold rushed tongues by dreams too looseSporting electronic noosesHoeing humanity love-ticks over lustDespite the damage to destiny you cant take the best of meIn God we still trust
