Ladies and gentlemen | |
Kweli! | |
Won't you stay around with me?... | |
And please say the rhyme | |
Cause these rappers think that I'm | |
In love with your state of mind | |
Cause you a favourite of mine | |
And I know you on your grind | |
I don't want to waste your time | |
But baby won't you stay around with me?... | |
And let my love (and let my love) | |
And let my love | |
Kweli you should rap about this, you should rap about that | |
Any more suggestions? You in the back, yeah you | |
You should rap more on beat, you should rap more street | |
And never ever get your mack on please, how bout you? | |
I like the way you're melodic, it's cause you capture hypnotic | |
Portraits and seem to make the average exotic | |
Probably unite, I know you getting some love, but you can't spit like a thug | |
And you a blow, you make a hit for the club, word | |
I don't like your voice, I don't like your choice of beats | |
It sounds like it's forced, and what was up with "Back Up Offa Me"? | |
I ain't like that, man you should get with Hi-Tek | |
Now he got nice tracks, them other dudes is type wack | |
Yeah, people keeping it coming, I keep it bubbling | |
Like the heat from oven boiling the water and the hate | |
So they light my fire... | |
I got a mic empire, my own label | |
I had to emancipate me-me like Mariah... | |
At some point I might retire, on some bullshit | |
My legacy, horseshit like Mariah's... | |
Illest flow found in the game, soothing like the sound of the rain | |
It's the dude profound with the fame, I refusing to be sounding the same | |
Keeping the verses, deleting the curses, defeating the purpose | |
When the people go on strike, I'm in the street with the workers | |
Speaking the words from a pulpit like the preachers at churches | |
Raise my hand, all the teachers get nervous | |
Cause they know I air them out | |
And they ain't even really gotta hear me out | |
Keep it dirty like pigpen, voice in the warrior's head like ?? | |
Clocking like Big Ben, old school slang still find a way to innovate | |
Pete Rock got em feeling great, the ladies say | |
Won't you stay around with me?... | |
And please say the rhyme | |
Cause these rappers think that I'm | |
In love with your state of mind | |
Cause you a favorite of mine | |
And I know you on your grind | |
I don't want to waste your time | |
But baby won't you stay around with me?... | |
And let my love (and let my love) | |
And let my love | |
Light the tip of the L, this heavyweight rap tipping the scale | |
And we never let the system prevail, real picturesque, missing the sale | |
Never that, it's forbidden like the candy sisters lifting the veil | |
I'm still leading the pack, these cats lacking | |
Just because you be having a dragon don't mean you got the fire... | |
It ain't nothing to play with, it's sacred | |
My pen is the paintbrush, and dipping in paint plus | |
Truth, love, joy, anger, hatred and anguish | |
That's the spectrum of colours I paint with | |
I don't feast at the banquet, cause freedom is the set that I bang with | |
Listen the conditions in my slum village is tainted | |
I grew through the pavement, like the flower the girl drew in the paper | |
The sky bluer and the ?eye's? save you | |
The rules of engagement that they use, attitudes of a slave | |
Man got me stressed out losing my patience | |
The moves that I'm making across waters | |
Through contraband that I'm taking across borders | |
Information never lost in translation | |
Too many new words to be learned, I'm spitting fire giving third degree burns | |
Giving them heat stroke, hotter than rocking a P cote | |
At ??, all these rappers super like me so, we go | |
Back in the days like reminiscing with Pete yo | |
Ladies welcome to the Kweli show | |
She goes... | |
Won't you stay around with me?... | |
And please say the rhyme | |
Cause these rappers think that I'm | |
In love with your state of mind | |
Cause you a favorite of mine | |
And I know you on your grind | |
I don't want to waste your time | |
But baby won't you stay around with me?... | |
And let my love (and let my love) | |
And let my love | |
Ladies and Gentleman, its Talib Kweli | |
Yeah, this Ear Drum y'all | |
B-B-B-B-Banging on your ear drum | |
We got the incredible Pete Rock on the track like... | |
I like that, I like that | |
I want to give an extra big shout to my man Dave Dart | |
Holding me down as always and as usual | |
And his new born son, Cannon, brand new to the world | |
He's now down with Blacksmith, Blacksmith is the movement | |
Jean Grae, Strong Arm Steady gang, Talib Kweli | |
It's what it is, yeah |
