[Hook (Mary singing with words by Black Star)]
|
Yes you are (Sometimes you just meet someone and you just completely...)
|
You're so beautiful
|
Here we go... come on
|
Absolutely fantastic, Now you're near
|
Absolutely fantastic, In my life
|
Fantastic, All my fears
|
Fantastic, Beautiful
|
Fantastic, Come to me
|
Fantastic, Now I am
|
Fantastic, Someone watching over me Fantastic

[Mos Def]
|
I dreamt that I could paint you with words
|
But there were no colors bright enough
|
Black or white enough
|
Blue or green enough, it didn't mean enough
|
You are the star that touched the earth
|
Shine bright for all eyes to see
|
Radiate and touched me
|
Now I'm shining like you do
|
It was dim before I knew you
|
Bright light for weeping eyes to get used to
|
Trust who, that's some shit to adjust to
|
Soon as you relax, they ease back and cold bust you
|
Love murdered in Brooklyn, sound the alarm
|
But you still remain calm, my passion is unarmed
|
I tried to practice my whole life tactics
|
But in your clutch and your touch, my armor just collapses
|
Sun's bliss breeds obliviousness
|
So recollect sweet breath still wet on my lips
|
My prayer's this: Go protect my beloved and keep her covered
|
From the valley to the summer like the land undiscovered
|
(like the stars)
|
|
[Hook]
|
[Mary]
|
Beautiful, now you're near in my life all my fear
|
Beautiful, come to me, now I am, someone watching over me
|
[Black Star]
|
Like the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful
|
I do all my best so I could be true to you
|
Ain't nothing in this word that I wouldn't do for you
|
?? everything usual
|
Like the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful
|
Where I stand, understand who I am, that makes me a man
|
|
[Talib Kweli]
|
You know what, they say that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
|
So I use my third, and now I love the silent like a boulder
|
Want to be with you as I get older
|
And that's my word, sure as I stand on my ancestors' shoulders
|
You see through my drama and my world like a stage
|
Not the same years but living in the same age
|
Just the quality, not the quantity
|
Fllow me, definitely
|
Far from probably, got to be
|
You and me, beautifully, thick like pieces of the man I used to be
|
Now I'm back cause of what you do to me
|
You like my reflection, better half to my whole
|
Like lyrics to the beat, you the matre for my soul
|
The breath for my life, my sister and my lover
|
Used to have cold feet, now you the one under my covers
|
I ignore your aura but it grabbed me by the hand
|
Like the moon pulled the tide and the tide pulled the sand
|
|
[Hook]
|
Go ahead, Mary, baby, sing your song
|
OOh, so beautiful
|
That dream that it would be so beautiful
|
I wanna say that I love you
|
All the love you give, all the love you give to me
|
All my days and nights were lonely
|
And it's so beautiful
|
And now I have a friend that I can talk to, yeah
|
Boy, you're so beautiful
|
|
[Mos Def and Kweli be switching back and forth like a crossfader]
|
Because you're fruitful, beautiful
|
Smart, lovable, huggable, doable like art
|
Suitable to be part of the cosmos
|
With my eyes closed, I see you clearly
|
Combined lifetimes with like minds, your lovelight shines
|
Bright the apple of my eyesight
|
The tender kiss that whets my appetite
|
My mighty Aphrodite, the flame that ignite me
|
Your name just excite me
|
Your eyes so alive they aright me
|
Cause you are so beautiful
|
You don't even know the length I would go
|
To make absolutely sho' you is respected and protected
|
And never neglected, I hope my prayers is accapted
|
That you always will be watched over
|
And never rocked over
|
And if you need me to, I'll stop over
|
To check on you, I'd never jet on you
|
I know a lot of foolish cats that slept on you
|
But what I'm gonna do is be totally committed
|
If you need me I'll be hotter than the New York Mennen
|
With a hundred percentage, from the start to the finish
|
Cause the vibe you give leave me so replenished
|
It's a new beginning, this is serious business
|
Got my heart and soul in it
|
It's the way that I'm living
|
Let it be known that I'm devoted, it's always going to prevail
