Tekst :

In a tenement near the Henry Hudson River
From my favorite spot on a rusting fire escape
I would look below and see Mario
Braving the ferocious dandelions

Mario our fearless superintendent
Kept the garden green, despite the parkway smog
But the flowering weeds
Their fates decreed
Pulled, to keep his rosebush from dying

Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed
Something strong was pulling at my head
Pulling at my heart…

Wildflower, growing in all the wrong places
Wildflower, so lowly neath that lovely rosebush
Proper garden’s nightmare, queen of open fields
Tell me, who will love this wildflower
For exactly what she is?

Years passed by, we left that red brick building
Left Mario behind
For a brand new house
But my dark brown skin
On the white washed walls within
Stood out, so it’d get me up and cryin’

My growing pains had many rooms to fill then
Mother never knew
Had a garden to keep clean
While there was N.Y. Grease
On the young flower from the Middle East
She was busy pulling dandelions

Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed
Something strong was pulling at my head
Pulling at my heart…

Wildflower, growing in all the wrong places
Wildflower, so lowly ‘neath that lovely rosebush
Proper garden’s nightmare, queen of open fields
Tell me, who will love this wildflower
For exactly what she is?

I don t have anything I got to do all day
Lie in bed and watch TV
I don t have anything that I need to say
I know that you re hurting too, I know you re all alone
I know that you re coming...

Hatters fill an empty heart
As love is fading.
For all the things that we are,
We are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never...

Para ti
Lo que ves de mi
Es la realidad
Mas tu no conoces
El papel que la vida
Me hace actuar
Siendo asi
Yo puedo burlar
Mi mundo exterior
Pero al corazon jamas

Hoy no reconoci
A quien vi frente a mi
Mi reflejo no mostro
Quien soy en verdad

Un dia mas
Que me corazon tengo que ocultar
Todo mi sentir
Al final
Sabran como soy
Que...

As I think of you.
With cries that pierce me to the heart
For I own all the beasts
Of the forest beasts in theirs thousands on my hills.
With cries that pierce me
To the heart my enemies
Revile saying all the day
Where is your God?
You love evil more, than good lies more than truth...

I ve got the power hey yeah heh
Like the crack of the whip I snap attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel rhyme devil
On a heavenly level
Bang the bass turn up the treble
Radical...
