《Begin Here》歌词

[00:00:00] Begin Here - Brother Ali

[00:00:03] Brothers and sisters I know

[00:00:04] We had a good time this evening

[00:00:07] If we can get your attention

[00:00:09] At the stage for just a minute please

[00:00:13] Want thank y'all ever so kindly for coming out

[00:00:15] And joining us yet again

[00:00:18] You know me and Anthony sure do appreciate it

[00:00:22] We want to thank his majesty

[00:00:24] I Self Divine for blessing us

[00:00:27] With his presence here this evening

[00:00:30] Yeah you know my big brother Slug

[00:00:33] He got on the mic tonight but

[00:00:35] If you listen real close he's there

[00:00:36] In everything we ever did

[00:00:38] In the background smoking

[00:00:39] You know being cool

[00:00:42] Ant break this down for me

[00:00:45] Just going give you

[00:00:46] A few more words before we

[00:00:47] Before we get on outta here

[00:00:54] When I was young you couldn't

[00:00:55] Tear me away from the stereo

[00:00:57] And used to carry one with me

[00:00:58] Everywhere I go

[00:01:00] As I memorized the words

[00:01:02] I genuinely believed every line I heard

[00:01:05] I thought that these men that I referred to

[00:01:07] Was prophets of our time

[00:01:08] Would never lie inverse

[00:01:10] I can't begin to tell you how it hurt

[00:01:12] As time went on some of them disguises burst

[00:01:16] I always said if ever I get heard

[00:01:18] If ever I am perched in an elevated place

[00:01:20] High enough so this world can

[00:01:22] Recognize my words

[00:01:23] I would never turn and try to hide my face

[00:01:26] And so I give it all as an author

[00:01:28] Even if myself is all I have to offer

[00:01:31] I don't exaggerate it

[00:01:32] I would gladly be hated for what I am

[00:01:35] And just stand and state it

[00:01:36] And if you relate then you can take it

[00:01:39] All human beings are the same when we're naked

[00:01:41] We all living through the same insane trip

[00:01:43] But we ain't it in alone

[00:01:45] If somebody stand up and say

[00:01:57] A lot of people waiting for

[00:01:59] Their big break to make it

[00:02:00] You going spend your whole life waiting

[00:02:02] Until you learn that

[00:02:03] Anything given to a man can be taken

[00:02:05] Only thing that's ever really yours

[00:02:07] Is what you earn

[00:02:08] It's a mistake to label it patience

[00:02:10] When you see a person

[00:02:11] Latently waiting for a turn

[00:02:13] Another one got the faith to go and take his

[00:02:16] Win lose or draw the end ain't the concern

[00:02:19] I want it so bad I can taste it

[00:02:21] And makeshift tools are the only ones to work

[00:02:23] In the hands of a dreamer

[00:02:25] To make it take shape with

[00:02:26] See if I can't get this old torch to burn

[00:02:29] And all of those chains and the bracelets

[00:02:31] Are symbols of that

[00:02:32] For which our souls yearn

[00:02:34] Strip it all away and what you face is

[00:02:36] We're trying to touch happy

[00:02:38] Before we touch the earn

[00:02:40] I thank you from the bottom of my heart

[00:02:42] Every show you ever saw

[00:02:43] Every album that you bought

[00:02:44] You can be my guest and tear it all apart

[00:02:47] At the foundation you'll be sitting there

[00:02:49] With what I fought

[00:02:50] The past is gone my path is charted

[00:02:52] My grasp is strong I'm just getting started

[00:02:55] My aim is steady and my view is clear

[00:02:57] My name became heavy and the truth is here
