"Never" lyrics - THE ROOTS

THE ROOTS
"Never"
(Adrian Charlie Guzman / Katrin Newman / Adolfo Salazar / Gregory Spearman / Tariq Trotter)
feat. Patty Crash

[Hook: Patty Crash]
Street dreams, close your eyes
Say goodbye to my memory
Street dreams, this is the moment
The moment that feels like forever
This is the end, to where I began
And it feels like forever
They say time flies
Down from the sky, and says never (Never, never)
I look down (Down, down)
All I see is never (Never, never)
And all I know, is all I know (All I know, I know, I know...)

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse: Black Thought]
I was born faceless in an oasis
Folks disappear here and leave no traces
No family ties nigga, no laces
Less than a full deck nigga, no aces
Waitin' on Superman, losing all patience
Gettin' wasted on an everyday basis
I'm stuck here, can't take a vacation
So fuck it, this shit is damnation
This is reality, mane
Ain't no surprise I've been bangin' without any mane
What is this? Gotta be brave
When into the night I'ma go quietly mane
Life is a bitch and then you live
Until one day by death you're found
I tried to keep both of my feet on the ground
But I know my head is surrounded by clouds
Spirallin' down, destined to drown
Forever is just a collection of nows
Off on my own, nowhere is my home
Approaching infinity's fork in the road
When I was young, something I often was told
It's not a bargain if it costs you your soul
Costs you your pride, caution aside
I'm gone with the wind and along for the ride
Wish I could rest, and open my eyes
But time ain't finna fly down from the sky
A place where the lonely love
Not another soul's there, only us (Only us, only us)

[Hook: Patty Crash]
Street dreams, close your eyes
Say goodbye to my memory
Street dreams, this is the moment
The moment that feels like forever
This is the end, to where I began
And it feels like forever
They say time flies
Down from the sky, and says never (Never, never)
I look down (Down, down)
All I see is never (Never, never)
And all I know, is all I know

[Outro: Patty Crash]
I woke with a tear drop
All I know, it's all I know
I woke with a tear drop
All I know, it's all I know
It's all I know, all I know (Know, know, know)
