(Co-written by The Real Voyce aka Lenswe, original song I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman produced by Rich Kidd for K-OS, interlude California by Phantom Planet)

Lyrics:

(verse one)

Ive been running for some time now / and life has showed me things I couldnt find out / without living / without giving out my spirit Im expressing it / the world is such a problem Im addressing it / writing was my therapy / I would say things that would embarrass me / otherwise while other guys stared at me / and life is such a dream I aint living right, living life merrily / some spoke of love but never cared for me

(chorus one)

(verse two)

I can only be the real voice, real dapper, real rapper / none after, gun clapper, run faster wait / read chapter, distract a kid from the beat trapper lifestyle yep that s me / I spend all my time hating on ignorance / so you really gon hate me, if you ignorant / black love aint maybe, its a definite / I want to destroy yall rep / as the predicate / better yet build a whole swag off of knowing / the system is screwing you the world is open / to what you wan to build, I just want us all to chill / be impressed by topic as well as skill / some wont feel cause I want us out the gutter / and the sad thing it aint the ones making all the butter / in other words Im going to be hated by my brother / scored by my parents/ and love by the other

(verse three)

Dont you get tired of lying Im weak, tired of crying / I seek only love but Ive peaked tired of trying / and my speech its like my mistress loves me without condition / speaks to me, pleases me, beats me into submission / and other rappers they are so short sited with no vision / I dont like to brag but Im present your so missing / plus your souls missing you dont speak from your heart / and your hands only tear things a part / I guess Ive been looking in the wrong places / going through the wrong paces / smiles are elusive here, lost in our long faces / the cities draining and love its our cocoon / Ill tell my mother Ill be calling her soon / I assume that youre quite unsure, alls fair in love war / its not a thing to pursue and what for / and only flesh and bone are the things that us human beings are made of / Im open but I wont force you to say love / Im running
