Umi Says

Mos Def

I don't wanna write this down [world... premiere]

I wanna tell you how I feel right now [world... premiere]

I don't wanna take no time to write this down [world... premiere]

I wanna tell you how I feel right now hey [world... premiere]

Tomorrow may never come

For you or me

Life is not promised

Tomorrow may never show up

For you and me

This life is not promised

I ain't no perfect man

I'm trying to do, the best that I can,

With what it is I have

I ain't no perfect man

I'm trying to do, the best that I can,

With what it is I have

Put my heart and soul into this song [yes yes]

I hope you feel me

>From where I am, to wherever you are

I mean that sincerely

Tomorrow may never come

For and me

Life is not promised

Tomorrow may never appear

You better hold this very moment very close to you [right now]

Very close to you [right now]

So close to you, So- close to you [your moment in history is right now!]

Don't be affraid, to let it shine

My Umi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

My Abi said shine your light on the world

Shine your light for the world to see

[I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free]

My Abi said shine your light on the world

[Want black people to be free, to be free, to be free]

Shine your light for the world to see

[Want black people to be free, to be free, to be free]

My Umi said shine your light on the world

[Want black people to be free, to be free, to be free]

Shine your light for the world to see

[Want black people to be free, to be free...]

Sometimes I get discouraged
