The RH Factor, Q-Tip, Erykah Badu - Poetry lyrics

Can you picture how a melody
Gets thought into existence?
Rhythm section hit's it and
Upholds it with persistence
Picturing the outline and you start
To see the colors
Filling in with intricate splashes
By all the brothers me'Shell is on the joint
You mean Ms ndegéOcello?
No wonder why the hump inside
The joint is feeling ghetto
A medal or award should be
Given to these heroes
For their efforts of revealing and
Bringing forth the feeling
I’m reeling, poetic I say
Of great proportion i hope my little nuances
Correct for this distortion
But, I say why say, and who is to say?
'Cause Roy makes the tune what it is today
Rhythmically, we’re in this lake of
Genes know what I mean?
It's only right that me and Mr
Wright we hail from Queens
The overtone of funk is being
Driven by the students
The benevolence of Roy issued
Me this jurisprudence this beat
A rhyme put it in a hipper term and
I’m just a humble little germ
Just a hipper version
Poetic I mean truly indeed her every seed
Just sprinkles with the essence of
Life to form my breed
Think about it sweetie while we
Give this to the needy
The musical expression is
Important for progression
Never stop learning lessons
And neither should y'all
Before we all stand must acknowledge the fall
Before we get the bounce we got
To reach for the ball
Before we ghetto stroll we had
To get to a crawl
Check it out now, and don’t you dare
Bobby Timmons did a joint called "Dat Dere"
Check it out now, and do your do
Ronnie Foster did a joint
Called "Mystic Brew"
Check it out now, it’s how it go
Check it out with my man Roy Hargrove

Hey good evening
Ladies and gentlemen and welcome
To the Appletree Café
Got Roy Hargrove on stage
Along with my man Q Tip
I’m coming in from Dallas, Texas
I don't know how come God doubted you
She's, she will be, remembered, completely
Blast the staff furniture
Rip dip dah zip dip dah

Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go

Brother's lost, my head has run away
Where to go, and where is God?
Sometimes I get real mad, but I understand
I don't beat myself up too much about it
I give us tears, does He mourn for it?
Or joy in return? Those tears bring joy
That is what perplexes
Make the sweetness last
'Cause we're mourning for the joy
Our hearts will find
Be happy when you can, no sadness necessary
No, no, it seems sometimes
You never get in bed
But, it's okay, it's fair, yeah
Know where to look, you got mysteries
Use the stars as a guide, trying not to hide
The love inside, you know if you get, you get
I feel, I'm not ready yet
But I meet myself halfway
And I'll start a day
Creating what I'm living
Living for today, 'cause I'm okay, it's okay

Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
