UMI Says - Mos Def
I don't wanna
write this down
I don't wanna tell you
how I feel right now
I don't wanna take no time
to write this down
I don't wanna tell you
how I feel right now hey
Tomorrow may never come
For you or me
Life is not promised
Tomorrow may never show up
For you and me
This life is not promised
I ain't no perfect man
I'm trying to do the best that I can
With what it is I have
I ain't no perfect man
I'm trying to do the best that I can
With what it is I have
Put my heart and soul into this song
yes yes
I hope you feel me
From where I am to wherever you are
I mean that sincerely
Tomorrow may never come
For you and me
Life is not promised
Tomorrow may never appear
You better hold this very moment
very close to you right now
Very close to you right now
So close to you
your moment in history
So close to you
is right now
Don't be affraid to let it shine

Sometimes I get discouraged
I look around
and things are so weak
People are so weak
Sometimes
Sometimes I feel like crying
Sometimes my heart gets heavy
Sometimes I just want to leave and
fly away
fly fly fly like a dove
Sometimes I don't know
what to do with myself ow
Passion takes over me
I feel like a man
Going insane
Losing my brain
Trying to maintain
Doing my thang
Hey hey hey hey hey
Put my heart and soul into this y'all
I hope you feel me
Where I am to wherever you are
ha ha ha
Sometimes I don't want to
be bothered
Sometimes I just want
a quiet life with
Me and my babies
me and my lady
Sometimes I don't want to
get into no war
Sometimes I don't wanna
be a soldier
Sometimes I just wanna
be a man but
