The Outcome lyrics

Artist  : Nas Featuring Jessica Care Moore 
Song : The Outcome
 


[Jessica Care Moore]
Global warming between my
legs, screams against the waves
Gave birth to
thirteen daughters, so now we never run out of
water
My skin layered in diamonds and
sage
Left alone and confused, forces enslaved
by days
Time keeps on whorin us
Ghetto
saviors can't keep ignorin us
Flowers and
flames, flutes from her fingers
Rifles pointed
from her sac
or was it simply a bag of sticks
and stones
Either way, she wore a compass on
her head
Rains don't stop the grass from
turnin red
Her hair was half perm, half
dread
We gave up walking in a past-life and so
we dance
Arms wrapped around my breath and
choked me back to life
A new world wife,
reflecting the sun and rolling dice
Symbol of
the drama yet to come - too late to run
Time
travelling was late
Watching was a blind man's
mistake
All his assets melted right in front of
his face
His right leg drabbed with demon
paste
Shoes stayed angel laced
Never count
your blessings with haste
Even a prophet can
catch a case
Didn't realize how sweet the
future might taste
Telepathically cutting
through mental gates
Words were weapons
against their hate
Shepherds search for stars
in her hair
Her chest grew fermented like
yeast
She broke her body like aged bread
He
gave her truth from all the books he'd read
She
wrote her poems inside the mud
Sacrificed her
cervix to fix the future
Named their boys and
spit truth inside his mouth
Read warm prophet,
writing twisted scriptures inside her
belly
Resurrected from bones and dirt
She
made hard niggaz smile
Left her seeds inside
the Earth
Gave hustlers and killers life's
worth
This is the life we chose, remember who
was here first
Find a reason why you
curse
Gold rushed tongues by dreams too
loose
Sporting electronic nooses
Hoeing
humanity love-ticks over lust
Despite the
damage to destiny you can't take the best of
me
In God We Still Trust
