[00:03.79]Wooaahh! yeah
[00:04.83]On top of the world
[00:06.45]Yeah, that's how my seeds got me feeling' right now
[00:09.23]On top of the world
[00:11.73]Yeah, you ever felt like you could do anything, (Yeah)
[00:13.20]On top of the world
[00:16.29](?) I'ma hold y'all down for real, (Gotcha!)
[00:19.74]It was 1996, 4th of July, looking off in the sky
[00:23.39]Dealing with thoughts inside, when something caught my eye
[00:25.86]It was a silhoutte of a beautiful woman, bright with life
[00:28.40]Carrying my first seed, looking like she gone bear fruit tonight
[00:30.30]We at the African street festival, and she walking around
[00:33.17]Talking about the midwife said, that bring the baby down
[00:35.47]I'm about to be a father, the sights and sounds, seem brighter around me
[00:37.59]And for starters, I know I'ma work harder, word
[00:41.83]We got home at three in the morning, I was beat
[00:43.49]Them contractions started coming as soon as I fell asleep
[00:45.43]3: 05, like every five minutes, then the water broke
[00:48.29]We on the go, yelling at the cabbie, cause he's sort of slow
[00:50.99]You know them hospitals all trying to get paid, no questions
[00:53.74]Hear come the doctor's with they drugs, trying to do c-sections
[00:56.44]But my baby stay's strong, in labor for yay long
[00:59.20]Eight-pound baby boy, to carry my name on, joy!
[01:01.89]Huh, yeah
[01:03.96]I know how you feel, Kweli I know how you feel
[01:04.58](That's the sound of joy)
[01:07.12]See my brother, I know how you feel, Kweli, I know how you feel
[01:10.90](That's the sound of joy)
[01:11.90]So when you, have a seed, come in the world, say dog that shit's real
[01:15.85](That's the sound of joy, y'all)
[01:17.31]Huh, Kweli, yo I know how you feel, Kweli, yo I know how you feel
[01:19.35]My baby girl
[01:23.44]June 10th, 1999, I been on the grind
[01:24.71]Since the birth of my son, it's been about, way more then rhymes
[01:27.30]Baby on the way, my lady glowing today, at least
[01:28.42]That's what the midwife said, on the phone
[01:30.87]Anyway, the music got me going away
[01:32.57]Like everyday, but it's a blessing, so I gotta have patience
[01:35.12]And she got pregnant on a Jamaican vacation
[01:37.41]So it's all good, this time well have the baby in a house
[01:39.89]I went the hospital route, I know what they all about (Never again)
[01:43.31]So I'm out on tour, in Baltimore
[01:45.60]Get the call around four, when the water hit the floor (Damn!)
[01:48.11]I gotta rock my show, but I gotta go
[01:50.63]Got second thoughts about her not going, to the hospital
[01:52.71]I left the show early, Mos held me down, good looking (No doubt)
[01:55.80]Call the car service, like, take me straight to Brooklyn (Uh huh)
[01:56.78]Got the news in the car, stayed sorta calm
[02:00.39]But I cried tears of joy, when they put my daughter in my arms, how precious!
[02:03.65]Huh, huh
[02:04.43]Said I know how you feel, uh, said I know how you feel when you
[02:06.49](My precious joy)
[02:09.40]Said I know how you feel, uh, Kwe I know how you feel
[02:12.68](I know you do, huh, my precious joy y'all)
[02:14.23]Huh, uh, said I know how you feel (yeah), said I know how you feel
[02:17.86](My precious joy)
[02:19.41]Huh, man I know how you feel (yeah), said I know how you feel
[02:23.21]I do it for the seeds y'all, in they formative years when they need y'all
[02:26.51]We gotta believe, in what we conceive y'all, it's deep y'all
[02:28.38]I give them the truth, so they approach the situation, with ammunition
[02:31.50]I keep nothing away, they hear everything, cause they know how to listen
[02:33.98]Teach them the game, so they know they position, so they can grow
[02:36.70]And make decisions, that change the world, and break old tradition
[02:39.90]They put kids in jail, for a life they ain't even get to start
[02:41.75]That's murder too, and it's breaking my heart, it's breaking our nation apart
[02:44.65]We gave the youth all the anger, it's just
[02:47.36]We ain't taught them, how to express it, and so it's dangerous
[02:49.47]You can't talk to them
[02:50.98]Unless your language is relating to what they going through
[02:52.44]So busy ignoring them, you can't see what they showing you
[02:54.73]And you wonder, why we called baby-daddy's and baby-momma's
[02:57.20]When we grow up, we can't act like adult mothers and fathers, yo
[03:00.00]I'm so blessed to have a boy and a girl, everyday they bring joy to my world
[03:03.65]Huh, yeah
[03:04.78]I know how you feel, Kweli I know how you feel
[03:07.69](That's the sound of joy)
[03:10.21]Brother Kwe', I know how you feel, Brother Kwe', I know how you feel
[03:14.24](Baby girl, my precious joy)
[03:15.83]Kweli, I know how you feel, say bro' I know how you feel
[03:18.75](Fela, be my joy, yo)
[03:20.44]Huh, if you know how the people feel, let me really know how you... yo

[03:26.90]I do it for the seeds y'all
[03:35.34]I do it for the seeds y'all
[03:40.74]I do it for the seeds y'all
[03:45.68]I do it for the seeds y'all
[04:06.15]I do it for the seeds y'all
