This is for all of you
This is for all of you
This is for all of you
For all of you
All of you

[Verse 1: Mos Def]
Ever since I was small I played the wall
The loner type, even as a little tike
While the other little kids were out at play
I was home wishing for a rainy day
I didn't have friends cause I barely even spoke
My head was mad out on a lil puny float
Surrounded all sides by thieves and crooks
I found a little peace in stars and books
My outside contact was limited
Cause I was different and heads couldn't get with it
I used to get mistaken for this stuff
But all I really ever wanted was some love
Remember many moons of many tears
That I kept inside for so many years
All the galactic intuition
I learned the skill of being self-sufficient
Heads got live while I took the jay
I watched the sky and let the daytime fade
Go through a whole 24 hours of sorrow
Lay down and do the shit all again tomorrow
Keepin' composure is a way ( ? )
I'm smilin' in your face, all my chest is hurtin'
I wanna be nice but that shit ain't workin'
Turn off the light and draw the curtain
Will I find peace, son, I'm not certain
In dark, quiet places feelings go
Beatin' you down all hard and slow
Oh-oh-oh-oh... oh
