| Yeah, this that new Kweli
|
| I’mma give it to you before the bootleggers get hold of
|
| It
|
| You know what I’m sayin'?
|
| I figure I put it out first, make some money wit' it
|
| Why not, right?
|
| Okay, 1−2
|
| Yo I’m Brooklyn like the '90s
|
| Brownsville and Bushel keep it grimey
|
| When I’m from flatbush that’s where you’ll find me
|
| In Brooklyn, Tek wit' Justin and Sadat
|
| And Free and Sid from ???
|
| Always catch me wit' Juju and Rubiks, we was truant kids
|
| Dollar band nooseses
|
| Jump bell, run, and never look back
|
| Mr. Man kept the hammer in his bookbag
|
| Rubiks introduced me to Black and Forte
|
| DJ Enuff on Avenue K I go back a long way
|
| Wit' Super Nat in Washington Square freestylin' everyday
|
| Peformin' at Lyricists' Lounge who ate off Jean Grae
|
| Fuckin' wit' Mood is how I met Hi-Tek
|
| Black Star came in effect when Elijah gave my tape to Mos Def
|
| Reflection Eternal was next on deck
|
| My crew the best and we proved it
|
| We knew our music was the Vanguard of a movement
|
| Every Rawkus release was bangin', they on the come up
|
| They was like fuck the radio 'til Pharoahe said «Get the fuck up»
|
| Flex listened, jabbin' at Bryant
|
| The next position was right about now we need the
|
| Radio hit written
|
| While I hit the road
|
| On tour to support the records since the day it was sold
|
| Corey had me followin' the example of De La Soul
|
| Common and The Roots to me these the sickest niggas
|
| Get my figures wit' the Okayplayers and the Spitkickers
|
| Rawkus got a deal with MCA, this the gray area
|
| The letters stand for Music Cemetery of America
|
| They tried to fool you by switchin' the name to Geffen
|
| Now they Interscope’s bitch and every artist who had a chance left 'em
|
| Ain’t no big surprise, wasn’t no love there
|
| Jimmy Iovine never signed me, I just kinda ended up there
|
| But fuck that, literally it was my way or the highway
|
| Hit the road with the Beastie Boys and toured Europe with Kanye
|
| Gotta thank 'em for the love on the album
|
| I knew out on «Electric Circus»
|
| He’d get it by any means necessary like Malcolm
|
| I dropped a single, shot a video, took control of my situation
|
| Got a label poppin', it’s a celebration (bitches)
|
| Yo boy Free I had to get out
|
| I put you on, that’s where I’m at right about now
|
| And if you’re sayin' it’s my time, you right about now
|
| This what’s goin' through my mind right about now
|
| Hey yo, hey yo, it’s time to write about now
|
| And if you lookin' you can find it right about now
|
| I put you on, that’s where I’m at right about now
|
| This what’s goin' through my mind right about now
|
| Yo, hey yo, it’s time to write about now
|
| And if you lookin' you can find it right about now
|
| That’s right bitches, Talib Kweli
|
| One of the baddest motherfuckers you’ve ever seen
|
| That’s right bitches, Talib Kweli
|
| You’re now rockin' with the best! |
| I said it
|
| The best! |
| The best!
|
| That’s right bitches
|
| You’re now rockin' with the best! |
| The best!
|
| Talib Kweli
|
| Where’s-Where's my snares? |
