Beautiful Lyrics - Blackstar

[mos def, kweli, background singers] 

(yes you areee, you're so beautiful) 

fantastic 

(on your knees) 

absolutely fantastic 

(in my life) 

absolutely fantastic 

(on my feet) 

all the world fantastic 

(beautiful) 

absolutely fantastic 

(come to meee) 

*quietly*(scientifically, scientifically)** 

fantastic 

(down again, so we'll wash it over me) 

fantastic x3 

[Kweli] 

Tell the world 

[Mos Def] 

I dreamt that I could paint you in words 

but there were no colors, bright enough 

black or white enough 

blue or green enough 

it didnt mean enough 

you are the star to touch the earth 

shine bright for all eyes to see, 

radiate and touch me 

now Im shining like you do 

it was dim before I knew you 

bright light for weeping eyes to get used to 

trust who? thats some shit I had to adjust to 

soon as you relax they ease back and cold bust you 

love murdered in Brooklyn, sound the alarm 

but you still remain calm 

my passion is unarmed 

I try to practice my warlike tactics 

but in your clutch, in your touch 

my armor, just collapses 

such bliss breeds obliviousness 

I recollect sweet breath still wet on my lips 

my prayers this: 

God protect my beloved 

and keep her covered 

from the valley to the summit 

like the land undiscovered 

like the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful. 

(chorus) background singers [kweli & Mos Def] 

beautiful 

[im doing my best so i can be true to you] 

on your knees 

[aint nothin in this world i wouldnt do for you] 

in my life 

[you're my everything more than ever and usual] 

on my feet 

[like the stars outnumbered you are so beautiful] 

beautiful 

[you shine so very far from where i stand] 

come to me 

[from a distant land understand who i am] 

down again, we can wash it over me.] 

(Talib Kweli) 

You know what! 

they say that beauty's in the eye of the beholder 

so I use my third, and now our love is solid like a boulder 

wanna build with you as I get older, and thats my word 

sure as I stand on my ancestor's shoulders 

you see through my drama and my world like a stage 

not the same years but livin in the same age 

its the KWELIty not the quantity 

follow me 

def-in-ate-ly, 

far from probably. 

got to be, you and me 

beau-ti-ful-ly fit, 

like pieces of a man I used to be 

now Im back because of what you do to me 

you're like my reflection 

the better half to my whole 

like lyrics to the beat 

you're the mate for my soul 

the breath for my life, my sister and my lover 

used to have cold feet, now you're the warmth under my covers 

I cant ignore your aura because it grab me by the hand 

like the moon pull the tide (mos & kweli)and the tide pull the sand 

(2nd chorus) [mos & kweli] 

[go head baby baby sing that song what] 

ooooooooh 

[alright, yeah, we feelin it, go ] 

soooo beautiful 

[go head baby baby sing that song] 

that dream that'll be, so beautiful 

[alright, yeah, we feelin it, go ] 

[go head]*fades out* 

i wanna say ohhh clearly, that i love you, aloud 

oooooh the love you give, all the love you give to me 

ooh 

ooooooh my days and niiiiights were lonely 

and its soooo beautiful 

i know i have a friend that i can talk to yeaaah 

ohh you're so beautiful. 

(mos def & Kweli) ... Note: they switch off after a few bars, and trade it back and forth. you'll get the idea if you listen to the song.....

(mos & kweli) beautiful, smart, lovable, huggable, doable like art, suitable to be part of the 

(kweli) Cosmos! with my eyes closed i see you clearly

(kweli) are so beautiful, you dont even know, the length i would go, to make absolutely sure you is respected and protected 

(mos & kweli)and never neglected, i hope my prayers is accepted that you always 

(mos) will be watched over, and never rocked over, and if you need me to ill stop over to check on you, i never jet on you.
