- Joy （Version |Explicit ）-Talib Kweli /Mos Def
Wooaahh yeah
On top of the world
Yeah that's how my seeds got me feeling'right now
On top of the world
Yeah you ever felt like you could do anything （Yeah）
On top of the world
It was 19964th of July looking off in the sky
Dealing with thoughts inside
When something caught my eye
It was a silhoutte of a beautiful woman
Bright with life
Carrying my first seed
Looking like she gone bear fruit tonight
We at the African street festival
And she walking around
Talking about the midwife said
that bring the baby down
I'm about to be a father
The sights and sounds
Seem brighter around me
And for starters
I know I'ma work harder word
We got home at three in the morning I was beat
Them contractions started coming
As soon as I fell asleep
3:05like every five minutes
Then the water broke
We on the go yelling at the cabbie
Cause he's sort of slow
You know them hospitals all
Trying to get paid no questions
Hear come the doctor's with they drugs
Trying to do c-sections
But my baby stay's strong in labor for yay long
Eight-pound baby boy
To carry my name on joy
Huh yeah
I know how you feel Kweli I know how you feel
（That's the sound of joy）
See my brother I know how you feel
Kweli I know how you feel
（That's the sound of joy）
So when you have a seed
Come in the world say dog that sh*t's real
（That's the sound of joy y'all）
Huh Kweli yo I know how you feel
Kweli yo I know how you feel
My baby girl
June 10th 1999I been on the grind
Since the birth of my son
It's been about way more then rhymes
Baby on the way my lady glowing today at least
That's what the midwife said on the phone
Anyway the music got me going away
Like everyday but it's a blessing
So I gotta have patience
And she got pregnant on a Jamaican vacation
So it's all good this time well have the baby in a house
I went the hospital route
I know what they all about （Never again）
So I'm out on tour in Baltimore
Get the call around four
When the water hit the floor （Damn ）
I gotta rock my show but I gotta go
Got second thoughts about her not going
To the hospital
I left the show early Mos held me down
Good looking （No doubt）
Call the car service like
Take me straight to Brooklyn （Uh huh）
Got the news in the car stayed sorta calm
But I cried tears of joy
When they put my daughter in my arms how precious
Huh huh
Said I know how you feel uh
Said I know how you feel when you
（My precious joy）
Said I know how you feel uh
Kwe I know how you feel
（I know you do huh my precious joy y'all）
Huh uh said I know how you feel （yeah）
Said I know how you feel
（My precious joy）
Huh man I know how you feel （yeah）
Said I know how you feel
I do it for the seeds y'all
In they formative years when they need y'all
We gotta believe
In what we conceive y'all it's deep y'all
I give them the truth
So they approach the situation with ammunition
I keep nothing away
They hear everything
Cause they know how to listen
Teach them the game
So they know they position so they can grow
And make decisions
That change the world and break old tradition
They put kids in jail
For a life they ain't even get to start
That's murder too and it's breaking my heart
It's breaking our nation apart
We gave the youth all the anger it's just
We ain't taught them how to express it
And so it's dangerous
You can't talk to them
Unless your language is relating to what they going through
So busy ignoring them
You can't see what they showing you
And you wonder
Why we called baby-daddy's and baby-momma's
When we grow up
We can't act like adult mothers and fathers yo
I'm so blessed to have a boy and a girl
Everyday they bring joy to my world
Huh yeah
I know how you feel Kweli I know how you feel
（That's the sound of joy）
Brother Kwe'I know how you feel
Brother Kwe'I know how you feel
（Baby girl my precious joy）
Kweli I know how you feel
Say bro'I know how you feel
（Fela be my joy yo）
Huh if you know how the people feel
Let me really know how you yo
I do it for the seeds y'all
