[Tony Allen, Ben Okri, Skepta - Cosmosis lyrics]
Cosmosis
Let’s talk about the science
Of how things break how the heart breaks
How the age founders, shatters
With no one listening how the mind quakes
How we lose all that matters
Oh, the music of the bones
Music of seige and white stones
Let’s talk about the art of how things break
Things that were hard to make
Things like peace, and love, and mead
How the nations shape
How the good is lost to the fake
Oh, brief change by osmosis
Change and the music of Cosmosis
But Sufis sing about
The music of how things turn
Things the other ones want to bury or burn
Things like unity, friendship, relativity
Things that when dead, we'll mourn
How the music runs in this stream
How can we in these troubled times dream?
Oh there are spirit's dancing
In the slipstream
Howl and fire in a drum dream
Yeah she was looking for a prince
Oh now she’s hitting the road
She tried kissing a frog
Oh now she’s licking a toad
Spiritual girl, she’s got a story to tell
She taught me to love myself
Forget everyone else forget and I forgive
I don’t give it attention
How you feel about me?
Uh, It's just a reflection
I’m out of my ego, I’m back into space
Hold me in your arms and feel the connection
Cosmosis cosmosis
Yeah, man
The present moment began with fire
And still, it burns cosmosis
The present moment began with fire
And still, it burns yeah
It began with water cosmosis
And still, they drown, and still, they drown
Yeah, man on the margins of Europe
The present moment began with fire
And still, it burns
The present moment began with fire
And still, it burns it began with water
And still, they drown, still, they drown
It began with air, see how the bombs fall
On houses made of sand dreams made of flesh
She was looking for a prince
Oh now she’s hitting the road
She tried kissing a frog
Oh now she’s licking a toad
Spiritual girl, she’s got a story to tell
She taught me to love myself
Forget everyone else forget and I forgive
I don’t give it attention
How you feel about me?
Uh, It's just a reflection
I’m out of my ego, I’m back into space
Hold me in your arms and feel the connection
Yeah
The world’s going to change because Cosmosis
Check it out
When will this story of our nation
Change and shine? Cosmosis
Cosmosis
(Muffled)
Oh the spirit's dancing in the slipstream
Howl and fire in a drum dream
Let’s talk about the science
