Echoes

(专辑： Fuck The Money - 2015)

[Intro Talib Kweli:]
Like that right there
It feels so African
Got a little something on my chest
Gotta get it off, gotta get it off

[Hook Miguel and Patrick Stump:]
You say the meanest fucking things to me
And I pretend that I don't care
But when it's said and done and the war is won
Your words are all I hear
And they echo
And they echo
And they echo
And they echo

[Verse 1 Talib Kweli:]
Say what you mean, mean what you say
You the meanest girl, you my Tina Fey
Like you out for pain, like you out for shame
But you pout when I call you out your name
Your words burning me, you're my bird of prey
When you feed your young, you regurgitate
What I heard you say and reverberate
But I'm a man, gotta show my vertebrae
I'm the kind to wait, you can come through with
You can run to it and get numb to it
Treat you like the Autobahn, just sung to it
Treat you like my favorite song and just jump to it
Girl you waste my bluff when we making love
Can't take it, love, you my favorite drug
You my fleur-de-lys, you disturb the peace
Cause you hurting me, you turned to me and said
Love is a potion that's fluent, let's keep it moving
The only thing that's magic is moments, I'm only human
The only thing that's tragic is futures that we can ruin
I pound for couple of hours, double influence
Need a break from the words you're using
My love broke my Kevin Hart
Let me explain cause I see what you're doing
Mama said, "You don't need to stay"
Papa said, "Boy you need to pray", goddamn

[Hook Miguel and Patrick Stump:]
You say the meanest fucking things to me
And I pretend that I don't care
But when it's said and done and the war is won
Your words are all I hear
And they echo
And they echo
And they echo
And they echo

[Verse 2 Talib Kweli:]
We can't internalize the things people say to us
But it make you sus, I need a break from us
I used to think your attitude was a major plus
Now the way you talk to me is like we breaking up
Tryna get into my zone without you making a fuss
Like sticks and stones, your words breaking stuff
They hitting home, but I can take a punch
I'm your David Lynch, you're my naked lunch
I found space for us, found a place for us
Used to pray for love, used to pray for us
Would've gave you my blood but you gave it up
My heart a house for this love but you sprayed it up
You can't take a brush, comments is tangled up
In a web of emotion that's dangerous
I can't make this up, that shit is lame as fuck
I ain't a slave but I'm out here tryna make a buck
Staying on my hustle, I ride around and I spend it
Set it into motion like butterflies to defect it
Trying to pretend that the words are never effective
Seem to work for a second but never be worth the effort
I'm a man and they say I ain't s'posed to run on emotions
So I let you get away with more than you were supposed to
I kept it bottled up like a note to float in the ocean
Just stop myself, I'm exploding

[Hook Miguel and Patrick Stump:]
You say the meanest fucking things to me
And I pretend that I don't care
But when it's said and done and the war is won
Your words are all I hear
And they echo
And they echo
And they echo
And they echo
