[Nas - The Outcome lyrics]
Global warming between my legs
Screams against the waves
Gave birth to thirteen daughters
So now we never run out of water
My skin layered in diamonds and sage
Left alone in confused forest's
Enslaved by days time keeps on whorin us
Ghetto saviors can't keep ignorin us
Flowers and flames flew from her fingers
Rifles pointed from her sac
Or was it simply a bag of sticks and stones
Either way, she wore a compass on her head
Rains don't stop the grass from turnin red
Her hair was half permed, half dread
We gave up walking in a
Past-life and so we danced
Arms wrapped around my breath and
Choked me back to life a new world wife
Reflecting the sun and rolling dice
Symbol of the drama yet to come
- too late to run time travelling was late
Watching was a blind man's mistake
All his assets melted right in
Front of his face
His right leg drabbed with demon pace
Shoes stayed angel laced
Never count your blessings with haste
Even a prophet can catch a case
Didn't realize how sweet the
Future might taste
Telepathically cutting through mental gates
Words were weapons against their hate
Shepherds search for stars in her hair
Her chest grew fermented like yeast
She broke her body like aged bread
He gave her truth from all
The books he'd read
She wrote her poems inside the mud
Sacrificed her cervix to fix the future
Named their poison
Spit truth inside his mouth
Read warm prophet
Writing twisted scriptures inside her belly
Resurrected from bones and dirt
She made hard niggas smile
Left her seeds inside the Earth
Gave hustlers and killers life's worth
This is the life we chose
Remember who was here first
Find a reason why you curse
Gold rushed tongues by dreams too loose
Sporting electronic nooses
Hoeing humanity love takes over lust
Despite the damage to Destiny
You can't take the best of me
In God We Still Trust
Screams against the waves
Gave birth to thirteen daughters
So now we never run out of water
My skin layered in diamonds and sage
Left alone in confused forest's
Enslaved by days time keeps on whorin us
Ghetto saviors can't keep ignorin us
Flowers and flames flew from her fingers
Rifles pointed from her sac
Or was it simply a bag of sticks and stones
Either way, she wore a compass on her head
Rains don't stop the grass from turnin red
Her hair was half permed, half dread
We gave up walking in a
Past-life and so we danced
Arms wrapped around my breath and
Choked me back to life a new world wife
Reflecting the sun and rolling dice
Symbol of the drama yet to come
- too late to run time travelling was late
Watching was a blind man's mistake
All his assets melted right in
Front of his face
His right leg drabbed with demon pace
Shoes stayed angel laced
Never count your blessings with haste
Even a prophet can catch a case
Didn't realize how sweet the

Telepathically cutting through mental gates
Words were weapons against their hate
Shepherds search for stars in her hair
Her chest grew fermented like yeast
