Enchanted

If I could express what's on my mind in a sentence

I could have won the race I have with my mind

If I could find the answers to my unsolvable woes through words

Then my word would have truly meant something

A healer would find a cure from his healer

But how could a leaf escape from October?

The one who gives the pain, does he forget the fix?

Catch the rebellion before it escapes from your mouth and suffocate it

The struggle of my verses never fades away

Rain mixed with snow, I'm cool with the clouds

Got a life I earned just by spitting my tales

Gotta express, build a home with words, where I can lay

My mind's a big old graveyard

Buried and then another one, forgotten and then another one, lost and then another one

What I remember is less than what I forgot

Past times are dark, tomorrows bright

Sago tam dem!

Tam-tam-tam dem!

Tam dem! Sago Kaf-Kef tam dem!

Tam dem! Tam dem!

Tam dem! Yo, gas it up!

Once it hit me hard, can't say I forgot

Remembered it so many times, gave my home to the flood

Turned my face to where the petals turn their sights

Waved to the hands, my hand's in the hands of others

The pick hits the strings, and fire drops in the hearts

Good morning to the sorrows that never depart

To the lead pencils that break and fall halfway down the road

On the road, a traveler seeks a comrade before reaching the realms

Send a shout from me, deliver it deep to the love

Words are enough for those playing with tricks

Let them kill me, but don't buy into their lies

Let them kill the Lenins and not obey Hitler

I set off from the depths to the ground

Fifteen years spitting, rocking in the strong wind

Like butterflies flying against the storm's fight

One wing on me (Yeah), other wing outta sight

My name's on the lips, this track goes to you

To the heavy hearted, my lips are locked for the crew who cuss

The poor swept from place to place, from exile to exile

Let the music take me where it can best

Dipped my spear tipped toothpick in the bad eyes

Plugged my ears with cups, for worthless lies

Came at me so many times, I never forget

Remembered every time, thinking in the depths

Slap me with one, slap the other on your own face

Look at your dusty mirror, at your stained face

Yunus is enchanted on this path, enchanted, enchanted 1

Push another vein, find another escape

Make a plan to flee, find a door to break
