Saul, the Williams in my ear

Nov 28, 2006 18:14

In other news, i finally got in the mail my Saul Williams CD from half.com

God, this man is brilliant. truely a conduit of the devine if i've ever heard it:

Well, there're two ways I can say this.
And one would be: fuck you!
And there're no two ways around it, because one would be untrue.

Because I love everything about you.
But I don't want to be around you.
If you control my heart will you control my brain?
If I give in to you, will it still feel the same?
'Cause I want nothing more than to be here with you.
If you fulfill my dreams, will that fulfill you too?

I need a second.
I need a second to think.

Now, the other way to play this would be mellow, light, and, cool.
Poetry and meditation.
Higher ground and higher truth.

Because I love everything about you.
But I use everything to doubt you.
If you control my heart will you control my brain?
If I give in to you, will it still feel the same?
'Cause I want nothing more that to be here with you.
If you fulfill my dreams, will that fulfill you too?

I need a second.
I need a second to think.
I found the spot where truth echoes and know each beauty mark by heart.
But I just can't keep her still enough to render perfect art.

'Cause the truth is ever changing and although she loves my touch, I've had my way, but I when I pray, she kisses back too much.
And it's hard to feel real gangster when you're always getting kissed.
But you jump at every pucker, 'cause your fear of getting dissed.

I try not to fight the parts of me that want to kiss her back.
Egos should be illegal.
Mine just don't know how to act.
He tells me I don't need her.
I should walk this path alone.
She's make believe.
She's up my sleeve.
I'd do better with a clone.

But could it be?
It seems to me that she's my other half.
My inner-tarzan monkey girl, raised mainly by giraffes.
And besides she makes me laugh.
'Cause deep down I think she's stupid.
But deeper down, I'm just a clown starting bar room brawls with cupid, like, "Fuck that naked baby angel, yo! And gimme 2 more buttery nipples".
And God just re-invents herself as ice-cubes in my ripple.
