[Verse 1: Yasiin Bey]
This is for my favorite band of human beings
The faithful, the graceful, the tragic and the classic
The evidence of things unseen, the book of life
The mansions of the moon, the bones of Firaun
Recently discovered and everything but new
The doubter's doubts about it never made it untrue
Life the gift, peace after pressure
Can't remember how you came or win a bet on how you'll еxit
From the start, the only thing certain is thе end
Promised to all and none know not when
Heartbreak from yesterday, and fret for tomorrow
I leave you now filled with anxiety and hollow
If you pray don't worry, if you worry don't pray
My Umi told it to me just the other day
From the tall castle walls to the mean teeth streets
I hope you get what you want
And that you want what you need
Ameen

Life is beautiful
Even when the world is wack
So much beauty, we forget to be reminded
That you can be anywhere and find it
Try it
I promise I'm not lying
Try it
And if you don't see in your environment
Then take a look insides it, try it

Try it
You can be anywhere and find it
I promise I'm not lying
Try it

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
Riders at the storm
Wise enough to warn the people about the evil that be going on
Way before the money gone
Money is the root of, huh, you know the rest
Will later love of it
Got you investin' in your death
I stay tourin' 'cause I'm live in the flesh
They make computer music
They tried to make a copy of me the computer blew in
They raised in the age of the enlightenment
But little did they know that they was slaves to they environment
The Dogon tribe of the stars without telescopes
When you have no god you start sellin' folks
I tried tellin' folks they attitude was bellicose
There's so much more in life to rap about than sellin' coke
You could tell that it's dope because I'm squad official
They irrelevant cause they intelligent it's artificial
The scar tissue on my face tell the folklore
We launch missiles into space to fight the cold war
Star light, star bright, get the ark right
Cut my story on the screen at the ark light
Stand clear of the beasts and the troglodytes
Tryin' to start a fight like Della Reese in Harlem Nights
We got the floater culture vultures tryin' to copyright
But they copy wrong... we are not alike
Life is beautiful
Even when the world is wack
So much beauty, we forget to be reminded
That you can be anywhere and find it
Try it
I promise I'm not lying
Try it

And if you don't see in your environment
Then take a look insides it, try it

Try it
You can be anywhere and find it
I promise I'm not lying
Try it
