Distant Wilderness Lyrics - Goodie Mob

(T-Mo) 

Why is it you fail, to see a man 

in the same hour, that his kin come grinnin? 

In another code, fell asleep, party mode, tryin to come up 

from the ashes that defy your lift, listen up 

Ladies seem sweet, the ocean meets the mountain peaks 

Stone-walker, side-walker, watch those loose lips, Wall Street 

Numbers set by stock movers, buy my tip so I can touch 

Not for no print size, plate saint, white wasted H20 

Four coats'll make it glaze 

Beams rooted like dogwood, between the Pine, wind 

Twenty-fo' stores with malt for sale, still fetchin water 

out the well, help em size, find the grind, find the times 

where the times weighed as hard as? find me shoes, baby daddy 

Rico Daddy, he didn't break the TV 

So why should I weep, man gon' bye, see you when my light blow 

Got more good than dirt to throw, and I won't pull 

between the halo, and a fork-pitch 

Suffocated by my rhymes... 

Chorus: Debra Killings

Worship High, it's just another name 

Take your time and concentrate on it 

Take a stand and make your hand a fist 

We got a reason to resist 

(Gipp) 

The mortal orbit your nadir, don't cross the fade 

chillin in Decatur, where it's greater, secure streets 

In the hood late at nights, dippin fine 

Hard not to be slippin, if they come, I won't run 

When it's time, I ain't trippin, I got my date 

and you got yours too, I see, the record sales soar 

after the death, of this creator, genocidal, tendencies 

when they mention he, who listens, to Unseen Hand 

Cappin the faces of the young black man, when they sing 

Knowin that we Godly, got to keep it right 

with my people cause I'm equal no matter, how much I make 

I can't escape fate, the date as I await 

As I await, I can't fake 

Can't fake, I can't fake, I'm true with it 

Photos 

(Khujo) 

A duffel for the cash, platinum within myself from another earth 

Spill, nina, tea leaf, your very, existance 

is considered a privelege, buck up, and they can't, be revoked 

Pay your taxes, uhh, snake eyes 

Strapped with flaws, still iterant to a lot of laws 

Man-made, but that's a dot, everybody 

from the East coast don't wear it back home, whatchu think? 

Gettin they thoughts mixed negative, after reoccurances 

I say a prayer, plus if I, entertained them 

It's easy to commit, hard to resist 

And once we cross that line segment, not even our producers 

can bring us back, eyeballs peeled 

Eardrums opened, egos stripped stroked, another low blow 

delivered to the hip-hop culture, uhh 

Industry consists of thieveries, prostititues 

and Folgers if somethin bigger than us, past the blue 

Told us that it wasn't a heaven for G's 

Then we do this, continue your devilish deeds 

I mean activities, that just show, that it's a Hell 

for Jacks, independent, but you distributed by your masters 

Labels still a slave, but you just get to eat at 

the white man's table, lookin like Gable Gunther 

on the Guinness Book of World Records, God didn't like ugly 

and he wasn't too fond of cute either 

A climate of caution, a climate of caution in effect 

Chorus 

(Cee-Lo) 

Where I am, you can feel God is present, in the midst of darkness 

if you spark up bet somebody gonna see it 

It is necessary for me to speak these words now 

Another day here hasn't been promised to me, don't you agree 

that you never fail when you try, I'm willing to die but first 

I am willing to live, and I overstand that this will be 

a lifelong sacrifice, in order to reveal 

you gon' have to destroy, and if you ain't thinkin right 

you damn sure can't act right, somebody raise your fist 

and let me know I'm not alone, revolution, doesn't mean fightin 

in these streets, and it ain't gonna be no revolution 

without the women, and, it ain't gonna be no future 

without the children, and, it ain't gonna be no children 

without the men, and, you can't have no love without the trust 

And no, trust can come without communication 

And you can't communicate if you ain't got shit to say 

You can't teach about what you, been deceived about too 

Any book you read is still limited education 

You gon' have to talk to God personally and time is short 

And, he's on his way, and I will receive 

a grateful word for what I've done 

And this is all that really matters to me 

In time you will see what I told you is true 

And I ain't have to rhyme to say that to you 

I ain't got to rhyme to say it to you, it's true 

Chorus
