| If you can talk you can sing
|
| If you can walk you can dance
|
| That’s an old proverb from Zimbabwe
|
| You know what I mean
|
| If you can talk you can sing
|
| If you can walk you can dance
|
| Yeah, and the trumpet is blown
|
| Yeah, alright, C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
|
| Alright, Wooh!
|
| (talking)
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, one more time
|
| Yo, anybody can tell you how it is What we putting down right here is how it is and how it could be Reflection Eternal for real
|
| And with that-
|
| These cats is no match
|
| Plus they lack a certain knack for rapping
|
| Chasing but they never catch the wagon
|
| Like rerunning what’s hap’ning
|
| Since back when
|
| They had potty issues and snotty tissues, we been rockin'
|
| Think you poppin’next year nobody will miss you
|
| My thoughts is too advanced for the artists on these labels
|
| They come sweeter than sabal and softer than mashed potatoes
|
| I tried to told you the rhymes run over emcees like Land Rovers
|
| Took 'em back in time like Sam Kofa, Sam Kofa
|
| We stand over the Atlantic, looking broad like a man’s shoulders
|
| The fire is trapped in a belly, ready to pop like canned soda
|
| We outlasting, from middle passage
|
| Touched down in New York
|
| Cincinnatay! |
| Big Ohio status what you thought
|
| Money it’s classic these bastards try to treat us like cattle
|
| So life has been a constant battle, battle
|
| Rising above the crabs in the barrel
|
| Way too used to living in death’s shadow
|
| We stay on point like the best arrow, arrow
|
| We hit the target accurate
|
| Star shit, back it up When we hit town, y’all niggas pack it up That’s how we get down, straight smash it up Like a whip, hydroplaning
|
| Hydro on the brain and maintaining
|
| Game changing into subtle shit, we remain blatant
|
| Yo, got to tell you to your face
|
| You get replaced in this game, by Kweli
|
| Place the face with the name
|
| These cats drink champagne and toast to death and pain
|
| Like slaves on a ship talking about who got the flyest chain
|
| (talking)
|
| Yo, we the reflection of our ancestors
|
| We’d like to thank you for the building blocks you left us Cause your spirit possessed us Yo, you blessed us Thank you very much (7x)
|
