Track no.20 from Talib Kweli’s album Eardrum. Lyrics: [Talib Kweli] Expect the unexpected Yo [Intro & Interlude: Talib Kweli & Timberlake] It’s kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do When everybody turns they back on you [repeat first two lines 3X] It’s kind of hard to keep faith in the things that you do When everybody turns their back… [Talib Kweli] Yeah I know a city that’s surrounded by a beautiful beach The economy boosted by the drugs they move in the street More clearer than the crystal sky, blue as the beast The people ain’t got shoes for they feet, or food to eat So they hurtin but what’s for certain you can get you some heat And over beef you laid to rest like you was gettin some sleep Where the little kids get ammunition (word) you can’t get no nutrition Or any type of suitable living condition listen They shoot you over that paper, its just survivalist human nature to put you out of your misery like euthanasia (yeah) Don’t let them fool you we ain’t different than the youth in Asia Africa and Europe, it’s a small world we truly neighbors If they the third world then who the first to get to heaven I know it’s hard but who does God choose to go through it worst Usually it’s the prophets, ask a cat what really matters Nowadays usually it’s his pockets [Chorus: Justin Timberlake (Talib ad libs)] We gotta get back to what really matters We gotta search our soul to find out, what we’re after The more I find my voice the more they try to make it …

@goulet22 ahhh well that would make perfect sense then wouldn’t it!! thanks for the 411
@LyricalSavage This was produced by the Fyre Department (Eric Krasno, Adam Deitch) in case you didn’t know.
Justin must have been inspired by Nigel Hall who is also on this cd “Mr. International” he is a TRUE soul singer. this is great too. Check Nigel out for more like that. He also performs with Warren Haynes, Dave Matthews, John Scofield, and his bands Lettuce, Chapter 2, and Soulive.
