Kindness For Weakness |
Don’t you take |
Dilated Peoples, yo, yo, here we go! |
I might flip, but usually a calm individual |
Armed with accountants, my lawyers and other criminals |
Network with armies, street wars are critical |
And revolutionaries so streets are more liveable (C'mon) |
Fuck what your ego say |
Don’t take shit for granted homey we don’t play |
All’s fair in love and war, piece of cake (Yep!) |
But beef is rare like a bloody piece of steak (Don't you take) |
Your eyes off the quiet ones, the silent ones |
With the assassin smile, the most violent (Sshh) |
Train until their bleeding, crying, perspiring |
And gun rings firing (Don't you take) |
The wrong side, that’s the wrong idea |
Untangle it, we could get it on right here |
Never back to broke, you get tapped or choked |
I might smile, but I ain’t no joke |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take |
Oh, yo look out, look out Rak' |
Love or fear, the fear last longer |
But love is stronger, so I stay loyal to love with honour (right) |
You got those who wanna take that for weak |
Be prepared, they’ll test you in front of your peeps |
Some easy advice, buy your way out my life |
It’s the principle, the pockets fat not flat |
Some borrow dough and relax on payin' that back? |
C’mon cat (Don't you take) |
Me for weak, give an inch they take feet |
Give 'em feet, they take the street |
My city’s called Everybody Eats |
The operations don’t skip a beat (Don't you take) |
My squad as chumps, punks or fakes |
Quick to dump, pop trunks on snakes |
That’s of course, push came to shove |
Otherwise love is love so |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take |
Ladies and gentlemen |
We have a special guest tonight in the house |
Talib Kweli |
Don’t you take |
You’ll never fit up in my shoes so don’t try 'em on |
I always tear it up, I’m 'bout as calm as a quiet storm |
Legendary lyricist, nice guy persona |
My songs celebrate life and you can play 'em for your momma |
But don’t make the mistake of tryin to play me |
Unless you a DJ, don’t get it twisted I’m still from B. K |
Wanna front? |
Better keep it in your mouth like Flavor Flav |
Where I’m from even a chick spit razor blades (Don't you take) |
Me for a sucker or I’ll take you back to school |
Fool can’t play the wise but the wise can act a fool |
I stay cool and mild mannered and just put in my work |
Don’t push you don’t know what’s up, under my shirt (Don't you take) |
Me for soft, I got a heart that pump |
Like a twelve gauge |
Shotty when it start to dump |
Youse a mystery, cause you don’t know who you runnin towards |
And got history |
That shit is told by those who won the war |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take, my kindness for weakness |
Don’t you take |
