Talib Kweli ~ Too Late


[CHORUS:] First you say that you have to go away I never should have been with you anyway Now you say you want to stay It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way You say that you have to go away I never really loved you anyway Now you say you want to stay It's too late, it's too late Like a puppet on a string You came and took control of me Would've given anything To be your one and only Filled my head with fantasies Of what one day you'd give to me Full of hope for what could be (I sat and waited patiently) [CHORUS ] For a time you were for me Everything that I could need Gave me time and diamond rings But something else was missing You never stayed the whole night through I suffered, prayed and cried for you After all that we've been through I feel I never even knew you [CHORUS ] [BRIDGE:] There's no need to call me on the phone I don't wanna hear from you no more No need, don't call Don't be a fool and stand outside my door 'Cause being the woman that I am I got to go on with other plans [BREAK ] [CHORUS ] more free lyrics

[CHORUS:]
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It's too late, it's too late

Like a puppet on a string
You came and took control of me
Would've given anything
To be your one and only
Filled my head with fantasies
Of what one day you'd give to me
Full of hope for what could be
(I sat and waited patiently)

[CHORUS ]

For a time you were for me
Everything that I could need
Gave me time and diamond rings
But something else was missing
You never stayed the whole night through
I suffered, prayed and cried for you
After all that we've been through
I feel I never even knew you

[CHORUS ]

[BRIDGE:]
There's no need to call me on the phone
I don't wanna hear from you no more
No need, don't call
Don't be a fool and stand outside my door
'Cause being the woman that I am
I got to go on with other plans

[BREAK ]

[CHORUS ]

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
