Dance or Die (feat. Saul Williams)

Cyborg, android

D-boy, decoy

Water, wisdom

Tightrope, vision

(All these dreams are forever)

Insight, stronghold

Heartless, ice cold

(If you leave now I never)

Mystery, mastery (Mastery)

Solar, battery (Solar)

Some will pull the gun because they want to be stars

Snatching up your life into the blink of an eye

And if you see clone on the street walkin' by

Keep on runnin' for your life 'cause only one'll survive

(Oh, these dreams are forever)

War is in the streets and it's an eye for an eye

Run on for your life or you can wish you can die

(If you leave now or never)

She's prayin' in the sand like she's the last samurai

It's a stick up, stick up and a pick up, pick up

Tellin' lies and tellin' lies'll put your face on fire

Run and tell your friends to never dream, never win

Ghettos keep a cryin' to a street full of zombies

Kids are killin' kids and then the kids join the army

Rising and a-waking, you'll say, "Here comes the sun"

March into the war and with the kick of the drum

The wiser simians, they got the bombs and the guns

So you might as well keep dancin' if you're not gonna run

A long, long way to find the one

We'll keep on dancing till she comes

These dreams are forever

Oh, these dreams are forever

And if you wanna wake the sun

Just keep on marching to the drums

These dreams are forever

Oh, these dreams are forever

Now, now, now I'm not saying it's better to bailar

You can pull the trigger or you can build you an ark

My words are rather kind, you keep them held in contempt

Lookin' for a nine and then a droid you can tempt

Z-Z-Zombie, zombie, zombie, where do dreams come from?

A little birdie's chirpin' and she's singing a song

She's shakin' 'em and wakin' 'em and givin' 'em mas

As the clock tick tocks and the bodies drop

I'm gonna lay myself so far, way down, right in your chops

Modern-day example of a wolf versus flock

Freedom necessary and it's by any means

Frozen, they were stolen, all the kings and the queens

Sudanese and Congolese who put the roll in the rock

From here to Sudan, my travel is to Iraq

It's a minute till the dawn and yet the sun ain't back

It's a war in all the streets and yes the freaks will dance or die

A long, long way to find the one

We'll keep on dancing till she comes

These dreams are forever

Oh, these dreams are forever

And if you wanna wake the sun

Just keep on marching to the drums

These dreams are forever

Oh, these dreams are forever

Oh, these dreams are forever

Angel, blossom, gunshot, dodging, dream, bright, beat

Light, breath, live, help, give, focus, trance, wake up, dance

I'm prayin' for the man sitting without much time (Yep)

May he understand the clock will never rewind (Yep)

Wisen him and sharpen him and give him a motto

Hate no more, said he must hate no more

You see the daylight comes into the kingdom

But the kingdom's full of ignorant men

Just keep rebellin' away, you got to dream it away

Because the weatherman you seein' ain't creating the weather

This man wants to see a jubilation (Yep)

And that man wants us in emancipation (Yep)

And then there is a man who wants a stronger nation

But you see we really got to and I think that we ought to

Protect the mind from degradation

Sow in the seeds of education

They run from us, are we that dangerous?

There's a war in all the streets and yes the freaks will dance or die

A long, long way to find the one

We'll keep on dancing till she comes

These dreams are forever

Oh, these dreams are forever

And if you wanna wake the sun

Just keep on marching to the drums

These dreams are forever

Oh, these dreams are forever
