Music: “Complexity,” The Roots feat. Jill Scott (2002)

stayingunderground:

I can’t even put to words how much I appreciate Black Thought’s song writing.

“I used to play the corner and watch the scene
Deep down knowing I wanted to find me a queen
And I could feel that in my stomach and up in my chest
Because I knew a lot of women, and some was fresh
But then I found you girl, and just like me
You had a heart that was yearning to be set free..”

- Black Thought

Song: “Sacrifice,” The Roots feat. Nelly Furtado (2002)

Yesterday, someone was posting about “Phrenology” and they inspired me to go listen again. Never realized how good this one is! Enjoy. Happy Sunday :)
