Lyrics:
Wall-to-wall Fun
We got the well, well, well
And cool Papa Bell
The fastest man on Earth did dwell
As cool Papa Bell
Motherfucker
Ugly word
Ubiquitous and often heard as a substitute for someone's Christian name
And I think yeah, the word is ugly, all the same
Ugly got a chase to make
It's not like every rodent gets a birthday cake
No, it's you're a chipmunk, how cute is that?
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, I'm an animal
Somethin' like a cannibal
I'm very flammable
And partially programmable
Centuries of overuse
Now I wear it nice and loose
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, it's ubiquitous
Tell me, can you stick to this?
I'm on the brink of this
And tell me what you think of this
I'm in the Beauregard's
Slow me down if I get hard
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what the kids would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna get you now
Her perfume smells like gasoline
My girlfriend's trash is nice and clean
Acid landing on my tongue
I think you know we've just begun
She don't want the ladies room
Transatlantic super groom
Your hairplane is a monument
The sexy art of continence
And now I know you by your scent
Let it be, we both get bent
Need a minute to repair
Sunny-siders always share
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what your kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
I'm gonna get you with the tip of my gun
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, I believe in love
Perfectly receivin' love
It's vociferous
Then come and get a whiff of this
I'm at the pyramids
Never had a fear of kids
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
I'm on the precipice
I come and make a mess of this
It's the apocalypse
I try to get a sock of this
I'm at the county fair
Haystack ride, I'll pull your hair
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what your kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my gun
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna, gonna, gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what your kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna get you now
Life's a twisted road
We unwind together
Clouds uncover our sky
Sitting in a couch made of sand
The milky ring around the moon enchants me
I'm swimming through the tunnels of my mind
The waves of energy splash over my body
Transition from day into night
The euphoria of spinning in the moonlight
Open up yourself to what is out there
But don't take off like snowball down a hill
You inspire me to be so crazy
You inspire me to be free
You inspire me to be so crazy
You inspire me to be free
Life's a twisted road that we unwind together
Ubiquity of our love is what makes it last forever
You've got to flow like a river
You've got to shine like the sun
You've got to flow like a river
You've got to shine
(Shine like the sun)
Going through the sky within my mind
And sweeping me away
Away away away away away
Tune in the sky
Ubiquitous and natural
Carry the light
Simpatico and simple
Tune in the sky
Ubiquitous and natural
Carry the light
And take it deeper and deeper inside
Deeper and deeper
Tune in the sky
Ubiquitous and natural
Carry the light
And take it deeper and deeper inside
Tune in the sky
Ubiquitous and natural
Carry the light
And take it deeper and deeper inside
Take it deeper and deeper inside
Take it deeper and deeper and deeper
Synthesizer rock ruled Jessica's feet
As a slave to that ubiquitous beat
Visions of the big screen danced in her head
'In a matter of time' she said
Jessie never got her Hollywood role
And the pogo nights have taken there toll
She can do the monkey off o' the cuff
But her mind had a missing link
Am I in sync?
I heard of these guys, murderous when it comes to scripture
Ubiquitous and Godemis, they Gods to us, we Gods to them
So we meet right in the middle, chew the fat and fry it up a little
And it's unfair, we got their hands in the air
And you can't even get a show
No one cares that your freestyle so rare
But don't nobody can't nobody know
And it's easy for them physical favors
Why y'all just spend all your paper
Breezes bend over the table, tattoo symbols of my label
Driving and trafficking rhymes, tongues sharp as African knives
We what's happening to your wives while you're at nine to fives
You might as well stop rappin' cause it's not happenin' if I stop laughin'
Cause it's too hard to impress just blatant disregard
The Four Horsemen of course we forced to be coarse when
You talkin' taller when y'all getting the short end!
King George in imperial robe
And a lazy eye
Knelt down as the semaphore broke
On his tawdry bride
But we don't know why he got
All stressed out on the motherland
With his T.V. sets and his fighter jets
And the royal ubiquitous handycam
Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind?
Here's you with your mom on your back
Going into the woods
She's so proud that you're staying on track
Like a good son should
But you don't know why you got
All choked up when you said goodbye
And you can hear her still when the nights are still
All crying out for calamine
Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind?
If we want silver and gold and diamonds and pearls
Then everyone must play their part in this world
Servants will serve and kings will rule
Pretend we don't know but I bet that you do
Hypocrites point and call it corrupt
Ubiquitous chat rooms chatting about us
And I am not exempt from the whitest of noise
If I forfeit, mark me isolated
So turn off the lights, watch me glow in the dark
Take away the rug, find me levitating
Bet you'll think that I do it alone
To explain all this means further explaining
Positive thoughts make a brighter you
Your sense of community is going to kill you
Kweli say, "Everybody act according to the season that they born in"
Some are the night, some are the morning, some at noon
Some in winter, some in June
It's our code, it's the natural
The science is a joke
For me and mines, yours and you
Let's move, tell you a little about mine, yo
I was born in a season where the world was quiet and cold
Celebrations were going on
Some were happy, some were sad
Some felt bad from being good
Some felt good from being bad, feelings pass and change
But they never leave, they here to stay
Holiday, holiday, happy birthday
Teenage love, the first cut run deep
Soul on flesh, this is the Brooklyn streets
Year of the Ox, seven and three
M.D., the history (come on)
Every soul's got one of these (yes)
It's where you been and where you be
And without understanding you cannot proceed
Complete, the start and the end
Then it just go round again
Again and again, brand new
Again and again, so fresh
Again and again, newness
I was born in the decade of decadence where they worship what they have
Ford was president, do the math
The war was ended when the Vietnamese stormed the city of Saigon
We was like, bye; we was gone, let bygones be bygones
I'm gone, spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
Where the hug you with the firearm, try it on
Like new school clothes, Black Star official
Smash when we do a show, it's facts, no mystery
I'm down with the crew like Mussolini in Italy
I rock with the Roots like the Giving Tree
Powerful, bigotry at work, me and my people got history
These rappers dumb it down considerably
We get it poppin' like a hit chorus
The flow is historic, they can't get rid of us
Ubiquitous, and we lay the law like Leviticus
Ten years ago we made history so they missing us
And don't call it comeback in particular
We will never blend into ephemera or
Fade into peripheral, transition of the minister's original
We're broadcast clear without diminishing
Black Star so tight, burning soul temperatures and ministers
Alkalines, aminos and minerals essentials
Served over Dilla time signatures
It's miracle material, remember it's right now foreverness
What is the mark?
Well, the mark is the bar-code
The ubiquitous bar-code that you'll find on every bog roll
And every packet of Johnnies and every poxy-pork-pie
And every bar-code is divided into two parts by three markers
And those three markers are always represented by the number six
'6 6 6'
And what does it say?
What is the mark?
Well, the mark is the bar-code
The ubiquitous bar-code that you'll find on every bog roll
And every packet of Johnnies and every poxy-pork-pie
And every bar-code is divided into two parts by three markers
And those three markers are always represented by the number six
'6 6 6'
And what does it say?
Can't you feel it can't you see it
The promise of prosperity
It's overwhelming you and me
It afflicts us like a disease
Ubiquitous compelling too
We cling to you like crazy glue
And inject such a potent seed
It's best for all humanity
The spread of culture
The sword of progress
The vector of suffrage
A warm and septic breeze
The pomp and elation
The duty and vocation
The blood of the hybrid
It's just a recipe
Re-living our ancestry
The frightful lack of harmony
Our fore-fothers who led the way
Their victims are still here today
Now it's time to erase the story
Of our bogus fate
Our history as it's portrayed
It's just a recipe for hate
Life's a twisted road
We unwind together
Clouds uncover our sky
Sitting in a couch made of sand
The milky ring around the moon enchants me
I'm swimming through the tunnels of my mind
The waves of energy splash over my body
Transition from day into night
The euphoria of spinning in the moonlight
Open up yourself to what is out there
But don't take off like snowball down a hill
You inspire me to be so crazy
You inspire me to be free
You inspire me to be so crazy
You inspire me to be free
Life's a twisted road that we unwind together
Ubiquity of our love is what makes it last forever
You've got to flow like a river
You've got to shine like the sun
You've got to flow like a river
You've got to shine
(Shine like the sun)
Going through the sky within my mind
And sweeping me away
Away away away away away
Tune in the sky
Ubiquitous and natural
Carry the light
Simpatico and simple
Tune in the sky
Ubiquitous and natural
Carry the light
And take it deeper and deeper inside
Deeper and deeper
Tune in the sky
Ubiquitous and natural
Carry the light
And take it deeper and deeper inside
Tune in the sky
Ubiquitous and natural
Carry the light
And take it deeper and deeper inside
Take it deeper and deeper inside
Take it deeper and deeper and deeper
But little did I know that in the very next apartment
There'd be trouble on the brew for me!
Ubiquitous I wish I could be
Because the clock cuts short my own day!
One hundred things to do before I rest my sore ass
Upon the cushion that supports my array!
Yeah
Walls of suspicion, spandrels of doubt
Spasm of uncertainty, a world all inside-out
Ubiquitous confusion, heads in the sand
Self-appointed experts making claims they can't defend
Or even understand
The commons turned out to be a tragedy
Oh, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
Hey, chains of superstition all come undone
Vivid illumination that's brighter than the sun
Oh, a handicap of bigotry and prejudice
All become a hinterland, a smoky wilderness
The dominion of ignorance
The commons turned out to be a tragedy
Oh, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
It's a stalemate of morality
A debt for all mankind
These haughty mental shackles make us blind
To what is really right
Oh, the commons turned out to be a tragedy
Yeah, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
Oh, see what you can find
If you take a different line
Emancipation of the mind
One day one of these fucks will change your life
One trip across and opening night for god and gold card
Your time in the sun accommodation free for tinsel gods like me
She's out with the buying team
Youth opportunity scheme
A major label dream
Fame so perfectly fatuous
Its gift is gratuitous
Its fear is ubiquitous
If I go away, don't forget me
One day one of these fucks will change your life
One trip across and opening night for god and gold card
Your time in the sun accommodation free for tinsel gods like me
We only want someone to hold us
We only want someone to tell us please
There's nothing you should do
For you can light up a room by just being you
I know that you're a liar but I love you
One day one of these fucks will change your life
One trip across and opening night for god and gold card
Your time in the sun accommodation free for tinsel gods like me
Ulta attraction

you decide if it's lofty enough for all mankind because my feeling is that it's rather elite
yes, the chants that I summon may only find home in the ears of those who are on two feet
let me speak of the watch that the saint looked down upon
his comprehension is movin' too quick to catch
to tick a watch is born of holy opportunity
intelligence is ubiquitous
well, I have known the glory of all that supports us and I'm born of it just like the watch is born of me
and we are both inventions of a holy mind
ya see, all through the ages and tides I never had to say that I tried
.......this is going out to all those eulogizing undifferentiated
why don't you just keep it up?
It's a first impression
Silence is deceiving
But just around the corner
I can hear
I can hear you breathe
It's a calm confession
A curious obsession
No matter when I listen
I can hear
I can hear you breathe
I can hear you breathing
If you stay and never go away
I'll repeat the same mistakes I've made
I'll believe most anything you say and
Watch my heart of stone melt into clay
First I'm disbelieving
Then I'm almost drowning
Swimming in the ocean with the sound
I can hear you breathe
Walking in the heavens
Falling on the ground
Rolling on the earth
You're all around
I can hear you breathe
I can hear you breathing
If you stay and never go away
I'll repeat the same mistakes I've made
I'll believe most anything you say and
Watch my heart of stone melt into clay
In your hands
In your hands
(Fall into your ubiquitous hands)
It's an indication
I'm your destination
I hope it's not just my imagination
You're ubiquitous in my soul!
Through the fire, through the rain
Even if I lose it all
My love for you remains!
Plagued by unknowns in the moon's shadow,
Reaching out into the empty space,
Darkness pervades beyond the window,
The stars in sight are faint and far away,
cdrift in gloaming,
The sun rays have waned
Holograms fading,
The conviction is strained,
Ubiquitous,
Ubiquitous,
Ubiquitous,
Wishing upon a shooting star to be a guide,
Lost beyond the atmosphere,
No guiding force, nor puppeteer,
Failsafe engaged, override,
Navigate the asteroid fields,
cdrift in gloaming,
The sun rays have waned
Holograms fading,
The conviction is strained,
Ubiquitous (3x)
Soaring through the unknown,
Without a rudder,
cimlessly roaming the abyss,
cdrift in gloaming,
The sun rays have waned
Holograms fading,
The conviction is strained,
Ubiquitous,
Ubiquitous,
Ubiquitous,
Don't pay no dues

Your life is so breezy
Didn't do time

Dollars keep pouring in
You want it all

Pull myself back down to the ground

Down to the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
I want it all

Ubiquitous
I want it all
I want it now
Ubiquitous
Catch me now
Before I fall with my face in the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground
Ubiquitous
Ubiquitous
Ubiquitous
Ubiquitous
Ubiquitous
Like the rhythm of the rain
The melody of a refrain
In the silence between the stars
So profound
It’s everywhere
Yet nowhere to be found
Spinning ’round the carousel of thought
Ubiquitous whispers in the air, caught
A Story woven from the cosmic thread
In every heartbeat
In every word unsaid
Floating through the corridors of time
Ubiquitous shadows
A pantomime
Reflecting on the surface of the moon
A presence felt
Under the noonday sun
Soon
Dancing with the particles of light
Ubiquitous
Yet out of sight
A cosmic whisper
A gentle nudge
Blurring the lines
Where reality and dreams smudge
In the fabric of the universe
Woven so tight
Ubiquitous essence
Shining bright
A journey beyond the edge of night
In everything
The ubiquitous light
Ubiquitous
Like the rhythm of the rain
The melody of a refrain
In the silence between the stars
So profound
It’s everywhere
Yet nowhere to be found
Ubiquitous
Like the rhythm of the rain
The melody of a refrain
In the silence between the stars
So profound
It’s everywhere
Yet nowhere to be found
you gotta be hip
you gotta be square
you gotta be hip
take a look at yourself in the mirror
the ubiquitous square unfolds your secrets
you gotta be hip
you gotta look perfect
the ubiquitous square is watching everything you do kid
you gotta wear Gucci
when the ocean drives the death of Versace
you gotta be hip
the ubiquitous fear is everywhere
from the Rockefeller man at the crossroads puppeteer
up to the Wall Street crash and The Challenger
it's posh posh apocalyptic
one love, one touch
kiss me before you go
one life, two souls
a million ways to go
she's gonna buy a piano with ivory keys
and royal curtains of panda bear skin from China
she's got a black-market photo
Tiananmen Square
he's going shopping for centuries now
she said I know, I know, I know
I know it's hard to be alone
and when the engine stops they will take you away
you took the blow, I know, I know, I know
it's China in your hand
and there's a hurricane in your plastic bag
she said
heaven
it's like heaven
are you the voice in my head
are you the blade in my back
are you the gun in my hand
is this a panic attack
are you the love of my life
I really don't understand
I can't explain
but this Saturday is gonna be perfect
ice cream cone melts in the summer
underneath a fresco of Gorbachev
becquerel babies of Machiavelli
siamese twins and iodine
radio I got the Radio Luxembourg
radio I got the Radio Luxembourg
Lydia was into visceral video violence
she never listened to her dad
Lydia, she had an Alfred Gilbert Geiger Counter
oh boy the good times that we had
I know the times are changing
I never understood just why Lydia
was into visceral video violence
oh boy the good times that we had!
This, this ubiquitous kiss
This, ubiquitous kiss
I don't ever wanna miss
On such a night, such a night as this
It never, never gets old
This, ubiquitous kiss
It gives me pleasure, gives me bliss Clearly, I cannot resist
A feeling, a feeling so bold
Un bacio del sogno
Una bocca da urlo
Una romanza da favola
Da paura
This, ubiquitous kiss
Never do, do I wanna miss
Not to do so, I'd be remiss
Our love, it is pure gold
