Markis Precise, Talib Kweli - From A Distance lyrics

From a distance
I can tell a slave from a master
Avoiding all distasters 'cause
I be thinking much faster from a distance
I can see that Russia tryna hack us
Sarah Palin can see Russia from Alaska
From a distance
I can see the change in the horizon
Can you hear me now? I'm like Verizon
From a distance
You can see the smoke when it's rising
And when you see the smoke, there's fire
From a distance
We fire off a shot for the resistors
Participating resistance by merely existing
From a distance
The enemies of freedom tryna defeat us
Tryna bleed us
But freedom in the vein like intravenous
From a distance
They still tryna pick off all the leaders
But put so much distance in between us
They lookin' over their shoulders
From a distance, you see an argument with a
Wise man and a fool
If you can't tell who's who
You should come a little closer

Yo they tryin' me, why do they lie to me
I be all that I can be
I feelin' all type of free
Got soldiers to ride with me
As far as the eye can see
So you should think twice
Before testing your life
Ay yo they definitely try to run up
They sealin' they fate
When you're dealin' with race
I'm a long distance runner

Distance makes the heart grow fonder
As the drive get longer
The butterflies in your stomach
Will get stronger now if I'm sweet on you
My heart will skip a beat
But, if you ain't complete then
Give me fifty feet
Back up so I can love you from a distance
Act up, I cut you off without the scissors
What is this
We go through trouble like two lovers do
It's hard to take an L, I'm used to W's
Cuttin' through the madness
Nothing new that's the average day
Wait to civilize to base my life
On what a savage say
This life ain't for the weak
Unless it's Saturday to Saturday
The magistrate with the place that the
Real DJs have to play
You wanna stay in the loop, don't ya?
You want people to hear the truth, don't ya?
Well then come a little closer
Don't play yourself
Question the curators of the culture

Yo they tryin' me, why do they lie to me
I be all that I can be
I feelin' all type of free
Got soldiers to ride with me
As far as the eye can see
So you should think twice
Before testing your life
Ay yo they definitely try to run up
They sealin' they fate
When you're dealin' with race
I'm a long distance runner
Yo they tryin' me, why do they lie to me
I be all that I can be
I feelin' all type of free
Got soldiers to ride with me
As far as the eye can see
So you should think twice
Before testing your life
Ay yo they definitely try to run up
They sealin' they fate
When you're dealin' with race
I'm a long distance runner
