Common - Let It Lie (From Smallfoot: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

So many questions.

I think it's about time I give you some answers

What is this?

You see, Migo

There was a time when Yetis lived beneath the clouds

We were alive and we were thriving till we came across a crowd

Of Smallfoot, that's right, we used to live down there

But there were actions we could not forgive down there

And though they used a different nomenclature

Man, or human, they showed us human nature

A dangerous species that we approached with wonder

They attacked with spears and their smokin' sticks of thunder

They called us Sasquatch, they called us abominable

They chased us, pursed us, their persistence indomitable

We had no choice but to run and hide

Otherwise, we surmised we were facin' genocide

So we climbed this mountain just to stay alive

You see we knew that up here Smallfoot cannot survive

So it was here the first law was written in stone

It was named and proclaimed as a truth to be known

Our world is an island, it floats on a sea of endless clouds

That's how we would be

And then we wrote more laws, more rules to obey

For the sake of us all it was the only way

To protect us from all of the human ravages

Heaped upon us by those human savages

Now you know, now you know, now you know

(Now you know, now you know)

And new rules apply

(Now you know, now you know, now you know)

So it's best just to let it lie

(Now you know, now you know, now you know)

(Now you know, now you know)

And you can't deny

(Now you know, now you know, now you know)

That it's best just to let it lie

But my Smallfoot, he's not like that

They're all like that. Tell me, when you found him

Did he greet you with open arms?

They don't care about us.

They don't care about anything but themselves.

Which is why we must do the same,

If we care about our future

Wait, we're below the clouds

Or so it would seem

But look closer

Those aren't clouds, it's steam

The stones are working

The stones?

Every job and every task is pointless as it seems

All of it ensures that this important machine

Keeps turning and turning and spinnin' around

So those below don't look up and those above don't look down

And they'll look 'cause even if they hear of these atrocities

The only thing stronger than fear is curiosity

(Now you know, now you know, now you know)

(Now you know, now you know)

Wait so, so none of those stones are true, they're all lies?

Good lies to protect our world

But they need to know the truth

Oh do they?

You feel emboldened by your noble quest to find the truth

I chalk it up to the naive innocence of youth

So let me share a secret that you'll learn as you grow older

What's true or not true is in the eye of the beholder

So do you wanna prevent our own annihilation? (Yes!)

Then our only goal should be to control the flow of information

Unless you wanna see the Smallfoot conquer and pillage (No!)

Then protect the lie and you protect the village

Lives are at stake, Migo.

Your friends, your father, Meechee.

She's curious and you know what they say:

Curiosity killed the yak

So what do you want me to do?

Tell everyone you were lying about the smallfoot

But they've already seen it, they're not gonna believe me

You'll be surprised at what they'll believe

You think knowledge is power, Migo?

(Now you know, now you know, now you know)

(Now you know, now you know)

Question is

(Now you know, now you know, now you know)

What are you gonna do with that power?

(Hmm, hmm)
