Beautiful (Black Star Remix)

[Intro: Mary J Blige, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, (Black Star)]
Oh-oh-oh oh ohh... oh... (Hm...)
Yes, you are... (Sometimes you meet somebody who just... completely...)
You're so beautiful
Here we go... come on
(Fantastic) Now you're near
(Fantastic) In my life
(Absolutely fantastic) All my fears
(Fantastic) Beautiful
(Fantastic) Come to me
(Fantastic) Now I have
(Fantastic) Someone watching over me
To the world...

[Verse 1: Mos Def]
I dreamt that I could paint you with words, 
But there were no colors bright enough, 
Black or white enough, 
Blue or green enough,  it didn't mean enough
You are the star that touched the Earth
Shine bright, for all eyes to see
Radiatin', touched me
Now I'm shining like you do, 
It was dim before I knew you
Bright light for weeping eyes to get used to
(Trust who?) That's some shit I had to adjust to
Soon as you relax, they ease back and cold bust you
Love murdered in Brooklyn, sound the alarm
But you said "Remain calm, my passion is unarmed" (Damn...)
I tried to practice my war-like tactics, 
But in the clutch of your touch, my armor just collapses
Such bliss breeds obliviousness
I recollect–sweet breath, still wet on my lips
My prayer's this: "God protect my beloved, and keep her covered, 
From the valley to the summit, like the land undiscovered"
[Chorus: Mary J Blige, (Black Star)]
(Like the stars are unnumbered, you are so beautiful)
Beautiful
Now you're near (I'm doin' my best, so I could be true to you)
In my life (Ain't nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you... do for you)
All my fear (You're everything, more than ordinary – unusual)
Beautiful (Like the stars are unnumbered, you are so beautiful)
Come to me (And you shine, from very far, to where I stand)
Now I have (On a distant land, understand who I am)
Someone watching over me (You make me feel proud to be your man)

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
You know what? They say that beauty's in the eye of the beholder (True)
So I use my third, and now our love is solid like a boulder (Uh!)
Want to build with you as I get older
And that's my word, sure as I stand on my ancestors' shoulders (Yes)
You see through my drama and my world's like a stage
Not the same years, but living in the same age
Just the quality, not the quantity
Follow me, definitely
Far from probably, got to be
You and me, beautifully, thick like pieces of a man I used to be
Now I'm back, 'cause of what you do to me
You like my reflection, better half to my whole (Uh)
Like lyrics to the beat, you're the mate for my soul
The breath for my life, my sister and my lover
Used to have cold feet, now you the warmth under my covers
I can't ignore your aura, 'cause it grabbed me by the hand
Like the moon pulled the tide, and the tide pulled the sand (The sand...)
[Bridge: Mary J Blige, (Mos Def), Talib Kweli]
(Go ahead, Mary, baby, sing your song)
Ooh, oh (Alright, okay, we feelin' you – say what?)
So beautiful (Go ahead, baby Mary, sing that song)
Never dreamed that it would be (Say what? Alright, okay, we're feelin' you)
So beautiful
I wanna say that I love you
All the love you give, all the love you give to me
All my days and nights were lonely (Alright, okay, we're feelin' you)
And it's so beautiful (Black Star, Mary J... I'm feelin' you, uh)
But now I have a friend that I can talk to, yeah (We're feelin' you...)
Boy, you're so beautiful (We're feelin' you, baby Mary J, alright okay...)

[Verse 3: Black Star, (Talib Kweli), Mos Def]
Because you're fruitful, beautiful
Smart, lovable, huggable, doable like art
(Suitable to be part of the cosmos)
(With my eyes closed, I see you clearly)
Combined lifetimes with like minds, your lovelight shine bright!
The apple of my eyesight
The tender kiss that whet my appetite
My mighty Aphrodite, the flame that ignite me
Your name just excite me
Your eyes so alive, they invite me
'Cause you are so (Beautiful)
(You don't even know the length I would go)
(To make absolutely sho' you is respected and protected)
And never neglected, I hope my prayers is accepted
That you always will be watched over
And never rocked over
And if you need me to, I'll stop over
To check on you, I'd never jet on you
I know a lot of foolish cats that slept on you
But what I'm gonna do is be (Totally committed)
(If you need me, I'll be hotter than a New York minute)
(With a hundred percentage, from the start to the finish)
'Cause the vibe that you give leave me so replenished
It's a new beginning, this is serious business
Got my heart and soul in it, it's the way that I'm living
Let it be noted and devoted, it's–good always prevail
The newly risen, true and living, universal for real
It's like that, y'all... (And ya don't stop... it's like that, y'all)
[Outro: Mary J Blige]
Beautiful (Come to me)
You're the only love I know
Beautiful (In my life)
You're the only love that knows (All my fears)
Beautiful (Beautiful)
You're the reason why I live (Come to me)
Beautiful (Now I have)
You're the reason why I want to... (Someone watching me)
Give you everything

Since you came into my life...

Since you came into my life...
