because of you
my heart is cold and loveless
there is no love no more
when you seal my fate
love turns to hate
when you give me a smile
inside of me something dies
you are killing me
when you embrace me
calmness in my soul turns to misery
walking hand in hand with you
and flowers wither all around[Mos Def]
Yo yo, yo, whassup, yo yo
Yo yo, we gonna, we gonna slow it down
so we can speed it up y'all
Right now I want everybody come to the front
That's right, move forward
I want all the poppers and the breakers, to form this circle
I want all the poppers and the breakers
The writers and the exciters, to get in this circle
and make it real live yo
Cause I'm seein too many stars up in here tonight yo
I'm seein the Rock Steady Crew
