"Soon The New Day" lyrics

[Norah Jones:]
And nature's game once more begins

[Talib Kweli:]
Here we go like, yes yes ya'll
To the beat ya'll
Ain't no sleep ya'll
To the break of dawn
Five o'clock in the morning
We keep rocking on
The working people running like the stop clock is on
We got it popping in the meat market
Chicks take a seat, park it
By the bar so they can meet the vic with deep pockets
And them dudes buy them cars and turn 'em in to sweet objects of desire
Big rims and them tires
We finna drop it like it's heavy as hell
The Clan of the Cavebear
Used to use the club to hit and drag her by the hair
Still use the club to get her a martini or a beer
Try to get her home and put the smell of sex in the air
Come through like the Cable Guy
Get 'er done
That 'ole hit 'n run
Turn 'em into bitter ones
Tonight is catch me if you can
You can taste the ginger bread
Ain't nothing like waking up with a stranger in your bed, nope

[Norah Jones (Talib Kweli):]
Soon the new day breaks the dawn
(Tomorrow I'll be like)
(Where am I, what's your name)
(Gotta go, I'm glad you came)
But tonight you will be so fun
(Maybe you're the one)
Soon the new day breaks the dawn

[Talib Kweli:]
Putting on some Airs
King For a Day
Hard to face your fears we wear the mask like Cory McKay
You have a ball today
It's all a masquerade
Shorty paint her face like a clown but can't take away the frown
Found under the make-up
I asked her, what's your passion
Answered, what's the paper
She sleeping and they don't want her to wake up
Maybe then she'll realize her own beauty
Baby, you a star and not just a star on some dude's home movies

[Norah Jones (Talib Kweli):]
Soon the new day breaks the dawn
(Tomorrow I'll be like)
(Where am I, what's your name)
(Gotta go, I'm glad you came)
But tonight you will be so fun
(Maybe you're the one)
Soon the new day breaks the dawn

[Talib Kweli:]
Stepping out, I got my best outfit on
Gotta get it in
I'm slipping in the darkness like most of the day is gone
We up all night I wonder if can hang
We used to hang from a tree, now we hang behind the rope, we V.I.P.
We do it B.I.G.
Ain't no need to see I.D.
The entire scenery shrouded in mystery
Clouded with greenery
Six girls to every three dudes
So you have half a chance if you ask to have a dance
The ones ready to freak off don't need no romance
They belong to the sisterhood of the traveling pants
They got them hungry eyes you know sensual trance
At a glance the alcohol got you sexually advanced
The truth is so boring you gotta pretend a little
The antidote is more colorful the rainbow that end in Skittles
And the quest to trap the cat
The game is your Tender Vittles to get the bruce to say the sky's falling
Like you Chicken Little, come on

[Norah Jones (Talib Kweli):]
Soon the new day breaks the dawn
(Tomorrow I'll be like)
(Where am I, what's your name)
(Gotta go, I'm glad you came)
But tonight you will be so fun
(Maybe you're the one)
Soon the new day breaks the dawn
