Nelly Furtado's Online Parliament — Let the People Decide
35 Years of Friendship
Through decades long, we’ve walked this way,
Side by side, come what may.
Laughter, tears, and stories shared,
A bond so strong, no time has spared.
From youthful dreams to graying years,
Through every joy, through every fear.
A friend like you, a treasure rare,
A gift of love beyond compare.
Here’s to us, and all we’ve done,
To battles fought and victories won.
35 years, and still we stand,
Forever friends, hand in hand.
Wait for You
I’ve been counting the hours, the days, the years,
Through the silence, the distance, and all my fears.
No matter the time, no matter the space,
I’ll wait for you, love, in this same place.
Every star in the sky knows your name,
Every night’s a whisper, a burning flame.
Even if the world tries to pull us apart,
You’re the rhythm that beats in my heart.
(Chorus)
I’ll wait for you, no matter how long,
Through the rain, through the pain, through the fading song.
The road may bend, the skies may turn blue,
But my heart’s standing still—I’ll wait for you.
I see your face in the break of dawn,
Feel your touch in the wind that’s gone.
Every shadow calls me back to you,
A promise of love, eternal and true.
(Bridge)
If the oceans rise, if the mountains fall,
I’ll stand my ground, I’ll risk it all.
For love like this, I’ll fight, I’ll stay,
Till you’re back in my arms someday.
(Chorus)
I’ll wait for you, no matter how long,
Through the rain, through the pain, through the fading song.
The road may bend, the skies may turn blue,
But my heart’s standing still—I’ll wait for you.
(Outro)
So take your time, love, do what you do,
My soul’s forever yours, I’ll wait for you.

The track is laid back, with soulful production and reflective lyrics. Dead Prez talks about getting to know someone’s thoughts, beliefs, and inner world, highlighting how relationships should prioritize understanding and shared values over superficial attraction.
If you’re into thoughtful hip-hop with social and cultural commentary, “Mind Sex” is a perfect example of Dead Prez’s unique style and message.
