02 - Saul Williams - Penny For A Thought

[yippiesmoke]

lyrics are so wrong in many places. lmao nice try but you failed.

[rocknstar89]

@ 2:45 correction: "eye sore to look at humans without wings, so I soar". Some of his lyrics are found in his various poetry books- this particular segment was in The Dead Emcee Scrolls. If you're a fan of his music, his poetry is even better

@rocknstar89

Thank you! 

[ARWorksProductions]

To be honest some freedom of speech makes me nervous.

[pwnageking5]

that breakbeat at the end made me want to break shit in the name of art and intelligence

[steeviewonder465]

thas life, not that barney shit lolololo

[SoloHero]

Search for this song at Rapgenius . com, they give GREAT explanations of the lyrics, I always liked this song and thought I understood it, but I had no idea how deep it really is. Check it out.

[regenoflove21]

Favorite song next to Wine and Our Father

Saul is the real deal...this is true hip hop.

7 MOUNTAINS HIGHER THAN THE VALLEY OF DEATH!

7 DIMENSIONS DEEPER THAN DIMENSIONS OF BREATH!

[c3tgte]

@perbliss You spectacularly missed the point of the song you racist cunt.

[VibezProductions93]

saul williams is the dopest modern black poet no question. Not to mention he absolutely RAPES this track.

[the1produkt]

penny for a thought, nigga, penny for a thought

[Avazjan]

He really is performing an exorcism.

This is the perfection of hiphop.

[pantheist46n2]

fucking AMAZING

[BobbyBluntandthafunk]

MY PEOPLE LET PHAROAHE GO!

[arthurude1]

@BobbyBluntandthafunk pharaoh or pharoahe?

[MrAvidLearner]

this is the ONLY lyrical artist i respect

[adysalle]

Keep on brother..keep on.. until we purge the main stream of this junk they call hip -hop n replace it with such words that can only flow from a God conciousness!!!!

[OmegaZXThree]

beleive it or not....but my teacher told me to look this up...and im not disappointed!!!

[laurarox01]

Hell yes Saul Williams, hell yes.

[GMunny5]

this is godly....

[raccoonman14]

exactly how much is it gonna cost to free mumia! = ILL!

[SinSeared]

It's nice but he should try to ride the beat.

[TeddyRuxpinMomma]

@SinSeared , what's good Sin seared? I think he's not riding the beat cause he's conveying a nontraditional style and emotion in this track...

thoughts?

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

@SinSeared that's the only problem I got with spoken word artists, they for some reason never even try and ride the beat, sometimes gives an extra feeling, but here it doesn't I still like the song though xD

[dethmetelchik]

@YoungDirtyCwalk That's the awesome thing about Saul is he doesnt have to conform to a beat to get his point across.<3

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

@dethmetelchik yeah, it's been three months since the comment now XD

I love this shit and it definitely adds something to the song, what it is, I don't know but it's really good!

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@SinSeared I know what you mean. Im waitin for Saul to straight spit straight hip hop with a decent flow I know he can do it

[gtivr420]

spit the truth saul love your shit ass a parent.

Oakland CA,

[gtivr420]

Good stuff soul is the sh*t spit the truth to all this wanna be Mc's.

[clevaclay]

what gets me about saul is that he is not a rapper , but he sounds better than 90% of these rappers. his poetry is where hip hop should be at right now!!!!!1

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

This should be studied in schools. It's pure poetry.

It also heals you spiritualy. The end part is an exorcism that sends away negativity from your ego.

I feel really close to Saul's words and soul. Such a depth and sensibility.

[ruby2gmq]

saul williams is one of the greatest lyracists of all time...

[KhanSlayer]

My people LET PHARAOH GO!!!

[SFLOmusic]

"a sub woofer on a leash"- holy shit!

[danbolser]

In the name of Scot La Rock!

[Robinschuinder]

just great!

[killbbob]

doom is on the level with saul

[obiez]

Now that's a combination I really want to see!

[Lozzo1212]

Doom's flow is just unbeatable, but Saul's lyrics are stronger.

[killbbob]

@Lozzo1212 i agree but saul is a lyrical genius this man's way with words is unparrellel but doom is by no means any weaker just does it diffrent but just as much a talent.

[Lozzo1212]

this gets a bit UK rave scene at the end, love it!

[Brokenhopexxx]

My mind is officially blown...give me back what i just lost :o utterly confused by how amazing somone can be with words.

[Auntkekebaby]
