Lifetime Lyrics - True Magic - Mos Def

The summit, the peaks 

The plains and the valley 

The ballad, the fog, the bank with the alley 

The waking hour, the moment, the dream 

The moaning, the murmur, the laughter, the scream 

The filling beginning, the quiet finale 

Eh eh eh eh lifetime, lifetime 

Keep keeping on 

Maintain the rock, keep up the rock 

The lights in the plaza meant there's something fantastic 

The moment I met you, the first look was like magic 

Yeah, there's the way that it is and the way that it feels 

There's the distance between the ideal and the bills 

Yet, I see all the numbers, I still lull for the dreamer 

I thank God for the dreamers, lifetime [Repeat: x2] 

Keep keeping on 

Maintain the rock, keep up the rock 

Maintain the spot, keep up the block 

Maintain the rock, keep up the rock 

I know this much is true 

We don't wanna be lonely 

Whether kind or you're cruel, be you no more oh lonely 

The riot is easy and the silence is loud 

You can build yourself up by just turning things down 

We will fashion the law, so why should we feel lonely? 

When forever is only, lifetime [Repeat: x2] 

Keep keeping on 

Maintain the rock, keep up the block 

Maintain the rock, keep up the rock 

Lifetime [Repeat: x13]
