Head Heart Hands Songtext
von Brother Ali

Bismilla to the bismilla

I′m trying to get my
Head right, heart right, hands right
Ego won't shoot me a fair fight
My appetites call me like a crack pipe
Rules get loose, the excuses airtight
I′m trying to get my
Head right, heart right, hands right
You only get one damn life
Looking for it in the daytime
With a flashlight
I'm talking about head and heart and hands


Got a big-ass head
Full of big ideas
A library read between my ears
It's how loud I get
When I′m trying to convince
You to see how obviously right it is
I didn′t mean to put the water in your eyelids
Or to compare you to the failures that I lived
Just projecting my regrets and my fears
Onto my friends, my wife, and my kids
Damn it all

Save my soul
Can you sing the words that turn these
Broken hearts to gold?
Love and serve
And come and save my soul
Do I still have time to squeeze
A diamond out my coal?
I said head and heart and hands

I got a deep heart
Love real hard
Straight soldier for love up in the jihad
For my birds of a feather, I'm a peacock
Give you iPhone code and the key card
I like to make friends, take ′em to the apex
But when the same expectations ain't met
I take everything they ever did as suspect
About to punish ′em by taking all my love back
Damn it all


Save my soul
Can you sing the words that turn these
Broken hearts to gold?
Love and service
Come and save my soul
Do I still have time to squeeze
A diamond out my coal?
I said head and heart and hands

I got Hulk hands
And they're not for play
I′m trying to make the action match
With what the mouth say
Some of 'em play the whole role like Broadway
And try to talk top game, but the walk fake
Gimme one face that I show always
Trying to be the same guy at all times in all place
Done that, been there, let's just begin here
About to leave the sins here, make me sincere
Listen here

Save my soul
Can you sing the words that turn these
Broken hearts to gold?
Love and service
Come and save my soul
Do I still have time to squeeze
A diamond out my coal?
I said head and heart and hands

I′m trying to get my
Head right, heart right, hands right
My ego won′t shoot me a fair fight
My appetites call me like a crack pipe
Rules get loose, the excuses airtight
I'm trying to get my
Head right, heart right, hands right
You only get one damn life
Looking for it in the daytime
With a flashlight
I′m talking about head and heart and hands
Understand, I'm a man
