Sometimes

Lyrics

(Ladies and Gentlemen... Cee-Lo)
 Peace
 How y'all feel out there
 That's cool
 Alright
 You know, sometimes I wanna rap
 Sometimes I wanna sing, you know what I mean
 Sometimes all it calls for is a nice mellow groove
 Hit of rimshot, you know
 Just get, you know, get you open
 But I wanna do a piece for y'all tonight, it's called sometimes
 Alright, so check it out
 Sometimes a stranger can be your best friend
 Sometimes being angry is the best mood
 Sometimes seeing you feel good makes me feel even better
 Sometimes hunger is the best food
 Sometimes good just ain't good enough
 And other times evil will get you even
 Sometimes faith is not knowing any better
 Sometimes nothing is what you believe in
 Woah
 Sometimes I don't even have a hook
 Sometimes you fail trying
 And sometimes happiness hurts worse
 Sometimes people live dying
 Sometimes it's the last person that makes you first
 Sometimes you'll keep what you don't want
 And other times you'll give away what you really need
 Sometimes a rich man won't have a dollar
 And all a poor man has is greed
 Woah
 Sometimes
 Sometimes I just wanna listen
 Sounds good to me
 Yeah
 Ay yo Lock, put them strings right here
 -hums-
 Sometimes I don't think people know I'm as good as I really am
 Now my recitings are writing over rhythm's
 Regularly reinacts facts of my existance
 So what proof of my expertise, many emcees know of me
 Using unrequested serious infested poetry
 To prevoke what persistance
 For instance, I don't let the T.V. screen come in between my daily routine
 At a spot where me and my boy went
 Someone interrupted our enjoyment
 What do you know, an out of work emcee looking for employment
 But I'm still curteous with my greeting, brother I'm eating
 And his style sounded similar to someone elses
 So evidently he's been cheating
 But I couldn't question the destiny in which we meet
 So, you guessed it, I suggested that he just have a seat
 And then I explained to him that I remained in the mean time
 Mastering mysterious methods of writing
 Finding my piece of mind with soft music and moonlighting
 Then supernaturaly I forsee the beginning stages
 And then eventually pages get filled completely
 You see, I dive into the depths of my soul
 Seeking to explore the hidden treasure of a pure literature
 While these others are unsure
 Being that the deepness makes them doubtful
 Deliberatly delaying
 Saying they'll settle for whatever washes toward the shore
 Delirous from dilusion
 My feelings were no more direct so the conclusion is seclusion
 Because mixed belief create confusion
 To remain plain and simplistic, realistic
 Accurate, articulate and absolutely artistic
 Uninhibited, unadulterated, unstoppable
 Unfuckwittable and unforgettable
 But since I've been granted the power of choice
 Let God bet the voice he is
 So all the credibility is his
 So let these be words of wisdom and in the same breath be warning
 Son I shine like Sunday morning
 Woah
 Sometimes
 See you next time
