Mya Ft. Silk Da Shocker - Moving On .mp3

Sammie feat. Sean Paul - You Should Be My Girl (Dj Idam Club Remix)

[Intro – The Constant’s Whisper]

You built clocks and called them truth.
You drew lines and called them proof.
But I… I don’t move like you do.

299,792 kilometers
every single second,
and yet no second ever ticks
for me.

[Verse 1 – The First Observer]

Platform still, train flying past,
flash in the center, the moment cast.
You say the light reached both ends the same,
I shake my head — that’s not the game.

Your watch ticks twelve,
their watch ticks nine.
Same spark, same space,
different time.

[Pre-Chorus – The Second Observer]

You swear it was here,
they swear it was there.
Two eyes on the same event,
but time won’t share.

[Chorus – Light Speaks]

I am light,
no time at all.
No before,
no after to fall.

Everywhere at once,
no space to crawl.
I am light —
no time at all.

[Verse 2 – The Twin Traveler]

One twin stays, one twin flies,
near‑c speed under black skies.
Earth spins decades,
the ship only days,
when they meet,
their clocks don’t weigh the same.

Time stretches thin
when you ride my seam,
and distance folds
like a paper dream.

[Bridge – Time Dilation Hook]

Δt = γΔτ,
sing it loud,
that’s how clocks sway.
Move too fast,
the seconds slow,
tick by tick,
you’ll never know.

[Verse 3 – Gravity’s Hands]

Mass tells space how to curve,
space tells light how to swerve.
Einstein smiled and said:
“Gravity is not a pull,
it’s the shape of the stage
where the actors move.”

Starlight bends
around the sun,
drawing halos
where there are none.

[Spoken Interlude – Einstein’s Voice]

“The distinction between past, present and future
is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

[Verse 4 – The Star’s Journey]

I left a star a million years ago.
To you, that’s ancient —
to me, it’s now.

You watched me crawl
through cosmic sand.
For me, the star and your hand
are the same land.

[Chorus – Light Speaks]

I am light,
no time at all.
No before,
no after to fall.

Everywhere at once,
no space to crawl.
I am light —
no time at all.

[Verse 5 – Mass and Energy Duet]

Mass sings low:
“I am weight, I am form.”
Energy replies:
“I am heat, I am storm.”

Together they breathe:
“We are one,
in different skin.
E equals mc²,
we are the same within.”

[Second Bridge – Minkowski’s Spell]

Space alone is shadow.
Time alone a dream.
Together they weave
the fabric unseen.

[Verse 6 – The Third Observer]

Your “now” is yours,
their “now” is theirs.
Each frame a song,
a different prayer.

No absolute stage,
no cosmic wall —
just shifting eyes
on the same call.

[Final Chorus – The Choir of Frames]

I am light,
no time at all.
No before,
no after to fall.

Everywhere at once,
no space to crawl.
I am light —
no time at all.

[Outro – The Constant’s Return]

You don’t measure me.
You measure yourself.
I am the bridge.
You are the shelves.

I am light.
No time at all.

I Am Light (No Time At All)

If you've listened to Top 40 radio or flipped through the video channels during the past few years, odds are pretty good you know something about John Legend. He played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" and might as well be considered Kanye West's sidekick, having assisted the producer and MC on several sessions — Jay-Z's "Encore" and Slum Village's "Selfish" being two of the more prominent 2004 singles featuring his work. A former choir director, he has also released a handful of energetic live discs, some of which are credited to his less hubristic birth name, John Stephens. And though he claims "I've got something new," you've also heard substantial chunks of Get Lifted in records made decades ago by Sly & the Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Quincy Jones, and Bill Withers. This might not be a problem for listeners who crave anything that recalls the music they first heard in their youth, but Legend's over-reliance upon his inspirations is an impediment as much as a slick way to grab attention. That's because he has more than enough talent and charm to get by on his own. His own lyrics and hooks are unique and clever enough to get the point across that he's no everyday R&B artist and, just as importantly, he has a personable and instantly fetching voice you could listen to all day long. However, the association with West — whose Sony-distributed boutique label released the record — is very helpful. Without it, Legend would likely be zoned into neo-soul (2003's Live at SOB's New York City really makes this notion apparent), thereby standing little chance of reaching the ears of anyone younger than 30. The production work supporting his songs strikes a fine balance between soul and hip-hop, allowing him to appeal to those who are coming from either angle. This is a very good record. It's a given that Legend is destined to make at least two others that top it. 

It Don't Have to Change
