Joy

Woah yeah on top of the world

Yeah, that's how my seeds got me feeling' right now on top of the world

Yeah, you ever felt like you could do anything, yeah on top of the world

I'm already feeling like me and you are shame

I'ma hold y'all down for real, gotchaIt was 1996, 4th of July, looking off in the sky

Dealing with thoughts inside, when something caught my eye

It was a silhouette of a beautiful woman, bright with life

Carrying my first seed, looking like she gone bear fruit tonight

We at the African street festival, and she walking around

Talking about the midwife said, that bring the baby down

I'm about to be a father, the sights and sounds

Seem brighter around me and for starters, I know I'm a work harder, wordWe got home at three in the morning, I was beat

Them contractions started coming as soon as I fell asleep

3:05, like every five minutes, then the water broke

We on the go, yelling at the cabbie, 'cause he's sort of slow

You know them hospitals all trying to get paid, no questions

Hear come the doctor's with they drugs, trying to do c-sections

But my baby stay's strong, in labor for day long

Eight-pound baby boy, to carry my name on, joyHuh, yeah, I know how you feel, Kweli I know how you feel

That's the sound of joy

See my brother, I know how you feel, Kweli, I know how you feel

That's the sound of joy

So when you, have a seed, come in the world, say dog that shit's real

That's the sound of joy, y'all

Huh, Kweli, yo I know how you feel, Kweli, yo I know how you feel

My baby girlJune 10th, 1999, I been on the grind

Since the birth of my son, it's been about, way more then rhymes

Baby on the way, my lady glowing today, at least

That's what the midwife said, on the phone

Anyway, the music got me going away

Like everyday, but it's a blessing, so I gotta have patience

And she got pregnant on a Jamaican vacation

So it's all good, this time well have the baby in a house

I went the hospital route, I know what they all aboutNever again so I'm out on tour, in Baltimore

Get the call around four when the water hit the floor damn

I gotta rock my show but I gotta go

Got second thoughts about her not going, to the hospital

I left the show early Mos held me down, good looking no doubt

Call the car service, like, take me straight to Brooklyn

Got the news in the car, stayed sorta calm

But I cried tears of joy, when they put my daughter in my arms

How preciousHuh, huh

Said I know how you feel, uh, said I know how you feel when you

My precious joy

Said I know how you feel, uh, Kwe I know how you feel

I know you do, huh, my precious joy y'all

Huh, uh, said I know how you feel, yeah said I know how you feel

My precious joy

Huh, man I know how you feel, yeah, said I know how you feelI do it for the seeds y'all, in they formative years when they need y'all

We gotta believe, in what we conceive y'all, it's deep y'all

I give them the truth, so they approach the situation, with ammunition

I keep nothing away, they hear everything 'cos they know how to listen

Teach them the game, so they know they position, so they can grow

And make decisions, that change the world, and break old tradition

They put kids in jail, for a life they ain't even get to start

That's murder too, and it's breaking my heart

It's breaking our nation apartWe gave the youth all the anger, it's just we ain't taught them

How to express it, and so it's dangerous you can't talk to them unless Your language is relating to what they going through so busy ignoring Them, you can't see what they showing you and you wonder, why we Called baby-daddy's And baby-momma's when we grow up, we can't act Like adult mothers And fathers, yo I'm so blessed

To have a boy and a girl everyday they bring joy to my worldHuh, yeah I know how you feel, Kweli I know how you feel

That's the sound of joy

Brother Kwe', I know how you feel, brother Kwe', I know how you feel

Baby girl, my precious joy

Kweli, I know how you feel, say bro' I know how you feel

Fela, be my joy, yo

Huh, if you know how the people feel, let me really know how you, yoI do it for the seeds y'all, yeah, yeah

I do it for the seeds y'all, yeah

I do it for the seeds y'all, yeah yeah
