| It’s Talib Kweli in the place to be Brooklyn
|
| Most definitely yaknowhatImsayin Mount Vernon

| And Pete Rock & C.L. |
| Smooth (true) the brothers who brought ya
|
| Escapism, Return Of The Mecca, Straighten It Out, The Creators
|
| Yeah right about now we about to make history
|
| The track make you nod like smack through the needle
|
| Niggas don’t sell crack is they evil
|
| America’s build on the backs of my people
|
| Cats say they packin' the heat but they actin' like Chino
|
| Cause when it’s time to bounce it back they fall back in the fetal
|
| I went from crashin' the beat in the passenger seat
|
| Drivin' like many straight trees don’t even mix coke with the henney
|
| Flow with so many styles ladies open all night like Denis
|
| 24 hours party people soakin' in the Remy and Cris'
|
| The video is directed by Benny and Chris
|
| Treat a pager like a website with plenty of hits
|
| I tell 'em this: you gotta be at least a dime for a piece of mind
|
| I deal with porters and keys just like the leachious mind
|
| I like mature girls just now reachin' they prime
|
| Know how to conversate to the man and don’t eat no swine
|
| If you ready to roll than we can rock shit
|
| My niggas so cold we hot
|
| Pete Rock murderville keep the joint on smash
|
| See the don come through enough bray that cash
|
| Talib Kweli he can speak to the mass
|
| Why the great minds think alike cause we keepin' it fly
|
| See we keepin' it fly till the day I die, and you can’t deny
|
| Son we keepin' it fly how we keepin' this fly
|
| Better master your eye cause we keepin' it fly
|
| Bring it back to life
|
| Psychedelic we sell it and niggas jealous fellows
|
| Go get your hate up get your weight up I’m tellin' you straight up
|
| You need to turn that frown upside down you use less muscles
|
| The smile is easier than it sound, it’s true
|
| Lookin' all crooked I be tellin' these dudes
|
| They should Straighten It Out on a Pete Rock track like C.L. |
| Smooth
|
| See we livin' in the Matrix way before the movie
|
| Kids fiend before the camera screaming; |
| just shoot me
|
| Now they scream a million miles away from the sun
|
| But you still feel the heat when we packed us the way of the gun
|
| Like tape digs raise kids to escape the slave ships
|
| Instead they wanna pump weights not the state
|
| Better exercise take from work the rest get left inside
|
| And whips chicks and kicks money we specialize
|
| I be the respirator so hip hop is kept alive
|
| So many niggas buggin' me I need a fuckin' pesticide
|
| You put light back to life cause these rappers ain’t actin' right
|
| Thinkin' they cut like Mack the knife, rap the fight
|
| Battle right through the afterlife
|
| Cause when you die make you look way past the life
|
| And high sight I drop the type of rhyme
|
| To give the blind sight, sparkle a shine bright like lemonlime
|
| Sprite up in the limelight, yeah
|
| As we still at the track you feel it when the chorus tack
|
| You deal it twist a cap back with a skillet official would kill it
|
| This is fake the way we sill it as the great Pete Rock and Kweli
|
| Got Pete to make you chicks knees knock to Pete Rock my life
|
| It’s the soundtrack other niggas sound wack
|
| Like white kids tryin' to sound black
|
| I spit on mics wet up the essence where L drowned at
|
| This Guerilla Monsoon Rap first comb rap
|
| Soon rap come through a crossroads, and all these lost souls
|
| Will stand out with stress signals like morse code |
