Can’t Stop Talking lyrics

by

Yasiin Bey


My tongue is like a treadmill
With a pilates teacher running on it faster than a windmill, downhill
My mind is like a hopeless puzzle, connected by an open funnel
To my mouth which is a broken muzzle
Then I release my thoughts and they drown the room in a soaking puddle
Now I’m swimming in an ocean of trouble
He took it to far, he broke the bubble
I apologize, but my emotions ain't subtle
They say Frak you crossed the line, I’m talking till I’m lost in time
I swear I’d make an awful mime
Some enjoy it, some say it’s annoying
I should be a lawyer, at least work at a hair salon
I can talk the walk, but I can’t walk the talk
Cuz whenever my tongue strolls it turns into a marathon

Just a young kid with fascinating intelligence
And when I tell stories, exaggerate and embellish it
Sometimes I miscalculate and I let it slip
I wish my words were a doc*ment, and I could edit it
I thought I only said a bit, but it turned to sentences
That turned to paragraphs, then people would stare and laugh
I didn’t give a care for math, but in English it was hard for me to share the class
They're portray me as obnoxious kid, I’m entertaining arguments, they claiming that I’m starting sh*t, I’m saying what my heart omits
The opposite of moderate, I’m talkative and confident and I won’t stop this sh*t until I’m told to put a sock in it
And to the most ambitious of women, I wish you would listen, sometimes I just need to vent my opinions. That’s why I need a girl with the patience not be anxious with this dispositoion
The instruments of my mental creating instrumentals
I hear the choir singing in my temple
My heads pounding with the percussion of a drum
If I try to hold it in I get concussion and I’m numb
So I let flush in and it’s rushing with a hum
Now this music has erupted a discussion on my tongue
They say Frak: all that chitter-chater is pointless
But I’d rather be boisterous than voiceless
