The year is 1975 (yeah, hahaha!)
3
Brooklyn, New York City (stand up)
4
A child destined for greatness is born (we goin' in)
5
Let's go!
6
Get your hands in the air (get em up!)
7
Put your hands in the air (put em up!)
8
Get your hands in the air (get em up!)

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
19
The lord chief rocker, I'm colder than meat lockers
20
My people keep throwin' it up like cheap vodka
21
I smack internet emcees and beat bloggers
22
[Say Something Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com]
23
You can see my black thought like 'Riq Trotter
24
It's deep ? go ahead and sleep
25
They know in the street Kwe' gon flow on the beat proper
26
Composin' complete operas
27
Longer than a cigar thats godfather,
28
Tap into heart chakras im harder than gobstoppers
29
People comin' for the throne not knowin' the seat hotter
30
Than fish grease, criminal names on police blotters
31
You convinced me, I hit targets like top shottas
32
Out in the mideast like Muslims takin' Shahada
33
I'm sayin' makin' a profit a product of Reaganomics
34
Awake and I'm stayin' conscious to radio playin' garbage, yeah
35
Blacksmith Music, if you don't pay homage,
36
I'ma show you how we break an artist
37
That's a threat, I'm not makin' a promise
38
Speak to the people like Barak Obama
39
They worship like a black Madonna, c'mon
40
Niggas talk shit, but they ain't got skills
41
I'm the type of nigga to put lead in your grill
42
Number two pencil is sharper to bruise mentals, and
43
Beatin' in my chest is the heart of a true gentleman
44
Still spit right in your face
45
Fuck a Top 8, back up, gimme my space, you're not safe
46
Yeah, they say I'm back, but I ain't go nowhere though
47
Been here the whole time
48
Where you been? You back
49
Matter fact, apologize
50
[Chorus:]
51
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) What? What?
52
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) What?
53
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) What?
54
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) What?
55
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) C'mon
56
Say something (g'head), say something (uh huh)
57
Say something (what?) (who is it?) say something (Jean Grae!)
58
[Verse 2: Jean Grae]
59
Yeah, open your mouth, say something, I fuckin' dare you
60
Chokin' you out till you can't suck any air through
61
Fuck with your man too, thinkin' I can't do what I plan to
62
Vet vandal, niggas are brand new
63
Ain't knew I was bad news? Look at the tattoos
64
Get ran through like you was fingers through Sassoon
65
Horror chick in the bathroom, off the backstage room
66
Shit you couldn't imagine, nigga I'll harass you
67
I'll Ras Kass you, soul on ice and body cast dude
68
Past due, Jean and Kwe the last two action heroes
69
Actually had the capacity to be the ones in a class of zeroes
70
Hip hop's not dead, it was on vacation
71
We back, we bask in the confrontation
72
You can ask me, have any conversation
73
You talk shit, Blacksmith, Jean, I'm waitin', nigga
74
[Chorus:]
75
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) What? What?
76
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) What?
77
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) What?
78
Talk shit now (now...now...now...) What?
79
Talk shit now (now...now...now...)
80
Say something (g'head), say something (what was that?)
81
Say something (I dare you), say something
82
[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]
83
We not fallin' for your trick 'cause your image is like a gimmick
84
Forget it, every rhyme is bitten, you like a mimic
85
I'm talkin' to the lord and I'm askin' him for forgiveness
86
Just for kickin' niggas out the club like Michael Richards
87
Yeah, I admit, I'm guilty, the way I spit is filthy
88
I keep it gritty, so they get it, they feel me, the flow
89
Is known for touchin' the soul of street hustlers
90
I speak in the language - you know I keep customers
91
The writing therapeutic, it's due to the pain and sufferin'
92
While these dudes get it confused and abuse the creative substance
93
I'm givin' you a contact high, my name buzzin
94
And I came in the game with nothin', stop frontin' nigga, talk shit now!
95
[Outro:]
96
The year of the Blacksmith is not defined by any calendar
97
Just thought I'd remind all you challengers
98
Get the name right, BKMC,Talib Kweli, say it again!
99
Get your hands in the air (get em up!)
100
Put your hands in the air (put em up!)
101
Get your hands in the air (get em up!)
102
Put your hands in the air (put em up!)
