| 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 |
