| This the year of the Blacksmith |
| Talib Kweli (Kweli) K-1 (K-1) |
| Let’s go! |
| Yeah, yeah niggaz don’t |
| Back in the days we all used to Now shit is so wack, nobody |
| To that real hip-hop, yo Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here it come |
| Talib Kweli and I’m bangin on your eardrum |
| Now let me get up in it |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait |
| Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears |
| Start repentin cause the endin is near |
| But don’t, panic you can’t function if you livin in fear |
| Pay attention you gotta listen to hear |
| Who the fuck you think you talkin to? |
| Put you on hold, get a specialist to walk you through |
| Kweli, the flow captain to fast or slow rappin |
| I’m soul crackin, you ain’t heard your shit appear like closed captions |
| King of the bars and I’m goin hardcores |
| All my confidence comes from knowin God’s laws |
| Bangin on the system, fightin my kind of war |
| Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion’s roar |
| Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here it come |
| Talib Kweli and I’m bangin on your eardrum |
| Now let me get up in it |
| It’s for your spirits so, but y’all don’t hear me though |
| Get up, get into it and get involved |
| There’s a little somethin that I wanna spit for y’all |
| Now let me get up in it |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait |
| Get it now, get it fast, get it right |
| Get it big, get it live, get it done, get it tight |
| But you don’t really hear me though |
| I, spit it clearly so it’s live at your stereo |
| To your heart while it’s beatin in your chest |
| I’m speakin to execs in the seat behind the desk |
| To your spirit nuttin weaker than the flesh |
| So while you try to keep it fresh you gettin deeper in the depth |
| Real hip-hop is missin from the shelf |
| Yep, it’s what you felt when you listen to yourself |
| Only a few is makin cuts that finish |
| So before you spend your hard-earned spinach |
| Yeah, you love the sounds comin out your speaker |
| I spit rounds like a 9-millimeter |
| The youth today they, frown at the teachers |
| They ain’t down with no leaders, they don’t wanna wait just a They like «What nigga? |
| Wait right there |
| I got reservoir dogs, you be missin a right ear» |
| Get it clear, figure is my year |
| I’m everywhere makin appearances in niggaz nightmares |
| Hear the word, peep the flow, check the cadence |
| What you heard is a pro I’m so amazin |
| Don’t front girl you know it’s your favorite |
| New Kweli yo they runnin out of patience |
| Yo, don’t it sound so good to ya? |
| Uhh, it’s the return of the greatest y’all |
| Talib Kweli, BKMC, Blacksmith is the movement |
| Blacksmith is the music, what you ridin for? |
| What you livin for, what you dyin for? |
| Bangin on your eardrum, yeah |
