Wine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The new wine is dying on the vine How much must you age before you're ageless? Align yourself with the divine Allow your inner sage to burn you rage-less 'Cause I find, through testaments of time There is no space for time within your mind If you're looking for yourself, yourself you'll find Through the crystal of your spirit you'll inherit the divine You are God, you best believe Don't waste your time down on your knees It's everybody for themselves You have the fire and the cross Don't save your soul, it's our loss Collective soul, collective wealth [Verse 1 – Reprise] The new wine is dying on the vine How much must you age before you're ageless? Align yourself with the divine Allow your inner sage to burn your rage-less 'Cause I find, through testaments of time There is no space for time within your mind If you're looking for yourself, yourself you'll find Through the crystal of your spirit, you'll inherit the divine You are God, you best believe Don't waste your time down on your knees It's everybody for themselves You have the fire and the cross Don't save your soul, it's our loss Collective soul, collective wealth [Chorus] So, do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, oh yeah Now do you know who you are tonight? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, oh yeah Now do you know who you are tonight? [Verse 2] I've got a daughter and son That's like a Bible and gun Pea-cocked and ready, aimin' steady as a ray of the sun My ammunition, intuition, full eclipse of my lung Son, you could never guess what planet I'm from My emcee name is my birth name, my first name Alias is all of us, Saul of us The fall of us, to surely come when we deny it Loudest nigga gets quiet, this inner peace is a riot Sell your soul if you wanna, but that don't mean I'mma buy it See, I've been conscious of your nonsense, stayin' pensive and quiet And I ain't gonna lie it, be too hard to deny it I ain't from your block and never had to deal with your shit Never had a Glock, never "kept it real" with no bid And when I saw a nigga like you, son, I practically hid 'Cause you did what you did, and I wasn't the kid Don't give a fuck now, I be the first one to playa hate The eye of the needle set the record straight And I retire late, retire late, retaliate, retaliate And I be fishin' on that same star you be wishin' on Make your move, son, you know the mission's on So, never question who I am, God knows And I know God personally In fact, He lets me call him me In fact, He lets me call him me Never question who I am, God knows And I know God personally In fact, She lets me call her me In fact, She lets me call her me [Chorus] So, do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? [Verse 3] I could recite the grass on the hill and memorize the moon I know the cloudforms of love by heart And have brought tears to the eye of a storm My memory banks vaults of autumn forests and Amazon river banks And I've screamed them into sunsets that echo in earthquakes Shadows have been my spotlight As I monologue the night And dialogue with days Soliloquies of wind and breeze, applauded by sun rays We put language in zoos to observe caged thought And tossed peanuts and P-funk at intellect And motherfuckers think these are metaphors I speak what I see All words and worlds are metaphors of me My life is authored by the moon Footprints written in soil The fountain pen of Martian men novel'ing human toil And yes, the soil speaks highly of me When Earth seeds root me, poet-tree Now, maybe I'm too serious Too little here to(o) matter Though I'm riddled, with the reason of the sun A stand-up comet, with the audience of lungs This body of laughter, is it with me or at me? Hue more? Or less? Though gender's mute And the punchline has this lifeline at it's root I'm a star, this life's the suburbs, I commute [Chorus] So, do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah Now do you know who you are, yeah? Now do you know how I feel tonight? Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight? See how I shine? I'm a star, yeah, yeah (Now do you know who you are?) Yeah!
