From my one square foot window I see outsideI’ve got chains on my feet but not in my mindI’ll be dancing all day see the sun outsideDon’t know how long it will be can’t stop me

I have a spirit indestructibleA heart that loving was made forA body that’s a miracleI have a spirit indestructibleA heart that was made pureUnbreakable and that’s for sureUnshakeable so give me more

A-E-I-O-U

Through my tired eyes I phase out the rainWith a meditation I erase my painThere’s a rythym flowing through every veinAnd the melody is never-ending

And though they may and though they mayTake you away take you away You’ll never break you’ll never break And though they may and though they mayTake you away take you away They’ll never break they’ll never break you

Can’t start a fire without a flame

Can’t play the part without a gameCan’t feel the love without the painCan’t talk to me if you talk the same

When you’re burned out baby you gotta come downThought you had it figured out

Baby I could give you somethingBaby I could give you somethingBaby I could give you somethingI know how to make something out of nothing

Can’t have a drink without a wellCan’t fall asleep without a spellCan’t feel the wind without a kiteCan’t pack your bags without a knife

Nas’ Verse:Ayo tom ford shades on cuervo and a shot glass Fly eyes pretty smile plus she got class Ima show you a lil something But here’s the preview When I speak sparks fly like grinding metal I’m lethal She hot like liquid metal in T2 Whether flats or stiletto red carpet or ghetto Baby I’m nasty nas I just had to meet you Let’s wash that back with a glass of screaming eagle Painting pictures writing my ill-est rhymes on a Easel Ladies on checking asking when ima see you Miami penthouse suite crazy with the sea view Still keep it hood like the streets I used to creep threw QB

Turn every tear on my face to goldMake the skin on the back of my neck turn coldNeed to feel my bare feet on your roadI will never again walk aloneIf you question my faithI’d still believePut a knife in my heart I wouldn’t bleedThis is brand new air that I’m breathingI’m breathing

Show me all of your miraclesI’m totally inside your waterfallNever felt something this real beforeI believe in all your miracles

Take me up to the places you liveI know that you’ve got so much more to giveI know that you’re not meant to worshipBut I’m losing my sense of control

If you question my faith I’d still believeI need this air so desperately so I can breatheI feel it in my heart and my mind and my body and soulI feel all your power and I’m losing all control

I’m weightlessThis space isDivine divine divine !

The day is getting lateIt’s a lot to takeLooking at your faceIt hides nothingEmotions are recycledI open the windowI don’t know about youBut I’m feeling stifled

Then I get just a glimpse I see where our love isPlease look into my eyesBaby you gotta try to

Dial into me Dial into me Dial into meDial into me

Don’t talk in circlesYou don’t know what to sayHow did we get this wayIt’s like we just press playAnd run on automatic (it gets so static)I can barely breatheYou’re filling up with steam You say it’s about meBut I’m just setting boundaries Then I see a bright lightI see it’s worth the fightI know we’ll get it right

Baby our love can shine if you

Dial into me Dial into me Dial into meDial into meDon’t walk in circles

We’re after the same thingsBursting at the same seams I cannot carry the whole load hereNo I can’t tell you what that meansI’m gonna carry my loadIf you promise not to take your eyes off meDon’t take your eyes off meDon’t take your eyes off meLets break the circle
