Listen!!! |
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 |
