Where Do We Go Lyrics

Where Do We Go lyrics

[Chorus: Res - repeat 2X]

Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do? 

Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin new 

Where do we go for inspiration? 

It's like pain is our only inspiration



[Talib Kweli]

Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls 

Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl

No one to hold 'em while they growin

They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world

Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is

And I may say some things that you don't like to hear

I know this: that people lie, people kneel

People die, people heal, people steal, and people shed tears

What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise

Above me, trust me, it must be, morning - time

Wake up, the stakes up

Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew

But when the karma come back for what you do

It's too late to make up - some excuse



[Chorus]



[Talib Kweli]

I come from people who stronger than time and space 

Wherever there's competition you gonna find the race 

I find a place in my heart for this hip-hop 

And pump blood through my vein my skin get hot 

I take you very serious and make you write more 

If I don't celebrate I got nothing to fight for

I'm tight raw, excite y'all like nightfall

I'm tight y'all, I walk the street like y'all

About action, talk is cheap, right y'all?

You start yappin' think about the beef you might cause

The trouble you could get into

You don't study, you not prepared and cats is testin you

What you gonna do when you gotta face

The manifestation of the words that you put in space 

They already there you cant take 'em out 

The studio gangsta inside you tryin' to break out



[Chorus]



[Talib Kweli]

Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls 

Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl

No one to hold 'em while they growin

They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world

Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is

And I may say some things that you don't like to hear

I know this: that people lie, people kneel

People die, people heal, people steal, and people shed tears

What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise

Above me, trust me, it must be, morning - time

Wake up, the stakes up

Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew

But when the karma come back for what you do

It's too late to make up - some excuse
