Much Respect To Michael Jordan (nike Commercial) Lyrics - Singles - Mos Def

I don't want to write this down 

I'm gonna tell you how I feel right now 

I don't wanna take no time to write this down 

I'm gonna tell you how I fell right now 

Tommorow may never come 

For you or me life is unpromised 

Tommorow may never show up 

For you or me 'cause life is unpromised 

(Bridge) 

I ain't no perfect man 

I'm tryin to do the best that I can 

With worries that I had 

I ain't no perfect man 

I'm tryin to do the best that I can 

With worries that I had 

I put my heart and soul into this yall 

I hope you feel me 

From where I am 

To where ever you are 

I mean that sincerely 

Tommorow may never come 

For you or me 

Life is unpromised 

Tommorow may never appear 

You better hold this very moment 

Very closely (right now) 

Very closey (right now) 

So close to you 

Sooooo close to you 

Don't be afraid 

Let it shine 

(chorus) 

My Oomy said shine your light on the world 

Shine your light for the world to see 

My Ahmby said shine your light on the world 

Shine your light for the world to see 

(I want black people to be free,to be free,to be free) 

My Ahmby said shine your light on the world 

Shine your light on the world to see 

My Oomy said shine your light on the world 

Shine your light for the world to see 

Sometimes I get discouraged 

Look around and things are so weak 

People are so weak 

Sometimes, sometimes I feel like crying 

Sometimes my heart gets heavy 

Sometimes I just want to leave and fly away 

Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself OW!! 

Passion takes over me 

Feel like my man 

Going in chains, losin my brain, tryin to maintain every thang hey hey hey 

Put my heart and soul into this yall 

Hope you feel me from where I am to where ever you are 

Sometimes I don't want to be bothered 

Sometimes I just want a quiet life with me and my babies, me and my lady 

Sometimes I don't want to give you a sto ball 

(black people to be free) 

Sometimes I don't want to be a soilder 

Sometimes I just want to be a man but 

Chorus 

Oomy said shine your light on the world 

Shine your light for the man to see 

My Ahmby said shine your light on the world 

Shine your world to see 

(I want black people to be free) 

My Genie said shine your light on the world 

Shine your light for the world to see 

My Elders said shine your light on the world 

Shine your light on the world to see 

I want black people to be free, to be, free, to be free 

Want my people to be free, to be free, to be free 

Want black people to be free, to be free, to be free 

All black people to be free, to be free, to be free 

That's all that matters to me 

That's all that matters to me 

That's all that matters to me 

That's all that matters to me 

That's all that matters to me 

That's all that matters to me 

(to be free, to be free, to be free) 

That's all that matters to me 

Black people unite 

And lets all get down
