So Far So Good |
My man Com from the Chi |
Kweli from the BK side |
Hip Hop to the day that we die |
So far so good with no endin in sight |
Lookin back on all the places I done been with this mic |
Let my teachers tell it, I was supposed to be a failure |
Let me tell it, I was supposed to be on stage in Australia |
Went from sittin on the curb with no gear to flaunt |
To havin gifts with the words, I make 'em do what I want |
And I’m a stay in the front, it’s easy to the kid |
Y’all always in the back like Jeezy adlibs |
If you fail to prepare, you preparin to fail |
And it’s hard to see a heaven when you livin in hell |
If you lookin at it different, you’ll see a way out |
How you gon' see money? |
You can’t see your way off your couch |
If opportunity comes, I’m a see what it’s bout |
You can see it in my swag, I done figured it out |
If you see doubt, I’m thinkin that y’all better re-route |
Cause I’m a walk these dogs till Mike Vick get out |
I’m thinkin I could take over the game, maybe I could |
They sayin I should change and maybe I should |
Baby girl I’d be with you if I could |
But I’m taking over the world and it’s so far so good |
Uh, so far, uh, so good |
Uh, so far, uh, so good |
Uh, so far, uh, so good |
Uh, so far so good! |
We’ve come so far, there’s so far to go |
Vision of a mission, it seem impossible |
Precision of a Chicago street apostle flow |
Allowin me to go to places only God would know |
Travel the land, witnessin the battles of man |
Goin up stream with paddle in hand |
So I could make enough to hit my uncle Steve if he asks for a grand |
It’s been a journey, as far as universal laws |
I’m the attorney, had to learn me |
Just to burn me up, holler to the world to turn me up |
As the game change y’all, I let my words re-up |
It was written on the walls that success is a process |
No matter how hard I fall I know it is some progress |
Notches of the ladder I climb, holdin a bottle of wine |
So many paths to take, I’m followin mine |
Yeah, Talib Kweli stay in the zone, I’m leavin 'em in a phase |
By now, I’m kinda used to leavin 'em so amazed |
With my man Com-bred and Skillz, they know the ways |
Call up Virginia Slim baby, I’ve come a long way from |
Hoppin the train with Rubix and Phot?, now I’m |
Hoppin the plane, I’m seasoned like o’bay |
Purer than cocaine that’s whiter than Colgate |
My product harder than narcotics, I handled the whole way |
Damn it I’m so straight, why you worry how my pocket looks? |
Y’all just sound like y’all got pocket books, stop and look |
As long as I rock it, Brooklyn is represented right |
This is where the sun meet the high rise, it ain’t no end in sight |
I’m gonna end it right here, I’m a end the nightmares |
That you have cause you sleepin and you actin type |
Scared, I wake up like years, say my prayer like I should |
And I’ve come so far cause I’m so good |
