Life Is Better
Q-Tip Lyrics

Life's filled with gray
Life can be dull and monotonous

But now, it comes clean
But with you, everything becomes clearer and brighter

Leaves fall, away
The old and worn-out things are disappearing

Hip-hop is playing again
The joy of the past is being rekindled through music

And it's bangin', too
The music is awesome and creates a great atmosphere

Know it's bangin', for you
I know you are enjoying the music just as much as I am

Don't stop this feeling I feel
Let's keep this incredible feeling going

I just wanna lay around all day
I want to bask in the happiness and comfort of this moment with you

And feel the breeze upon my knees
I want to enjoy the small, simple pleasures of life with you

I'm so into your rich history
I am fascinated by your culture and background

Tell me a story to take me away
Please share your experiences and take me on a journey with your words

Come and take me, oh
Please invite me into your world and show me more

Life is, better
Life is vastly improved

Now that, now that I found you
Ever since I met you, everything has been better

Uh, uh, one step at a time, a man walked on the moon
Great achievements can be accomplished with patience and determination

One record got played, Kool Herc said boom
One influential moment can spark a revolution

One minute young man, your time come soon
It's important to persevere and wait for your moment of success

We waiting, it was prophesied you loon
People have been waiting and hoping for someone like you to arrive

We bang our drums, enter message through sound
We express ourselves through music and share our message with the world

Hands sweatin', it's critiquing all this vibe I'm gettin'
I feel inspired and energized, and I'm analyzing why this music is affecting me so deeply
