Ladies and gentlemen
2
Yeah, Kweli
3
Won't you stay around with me?
4
And please say the rhyme
5
'Cause these rappers think that
6
I'm in love with your state of mind
7
'Cause you a favorite of mine
8
And I know you on your grind
9
I don't want to waste your time
10
But baby, won't you stay around with me?
11
And let my love, let my love and let my love
12
Now Kweli, you should rap about this, you should rap about that
13
Any more suggestions? You in the back, yeah you
14
You should rap more on beat, you should rap more street
15
And never ever get your mack on please, how bout you?
16
I like the way you're melodic it's 'cause you capture hypnotic
17
Portraits and seem to make the average exotic
18
Probably unite, I know you getting some love
19
But you can't spit like a thug
20
And you a blow, you make a hit for the club, word
21
I don't like your voice, I don't like your choice of beats
22
It sounds like it's forced, and what was up with 'Back up offa me'?
23
I ain't like that, man you should get with Hi-Tek
24
Now he got nice tracks, them other dudes is type wack
25
Yeah, people keeping it coming, I keep it bubbling
26
Like the heat from oven boiling the water and the hate
27
So they light my fire
28
I got a mic empire, my own label
29
I had to emancipate me-me like Mariah
30
At some point I might retire, on some bullshit
31
My legacy, horseshit like Mariah's
32
Illest flow found in the game
33
Soothing like the sound of the rain
34
It's the dude profound with the fame
35
I refusing to be sounding the same
36
Keeping the verses, deleting the curses
37
Defeating the purpose when the people go on strike
38
I'm in the street with the workers
39
Speaking the words from a pulpit
40
Like the preachers at churches
41
Raise my hand, all the teachers get nervous
42
'Cause they know I air 'em out
43
And they ain't even really gotta hear me out
44
Keep it dirty like pigpen, voice in the warrior's head
45
Like [Incomprehensible]
46
Clocking like Big Ben, old school slang
47
Still find a way to innovate
48
Pete Rock got 'em feeling great, the ladies say
49
Won't you stay around with me?
50
And please say the rhyme
51
'Cause these rappers think that
52
I'm in love with your state of mind
53
'Cause you a favorite of mine
54
And I know you on your grind
55
I don't want to waste your time
56
But baby, won't you stay around with me?
57
And let my love, let my love and let my love
58
Light the tip of the L, this heavyweight rap tipping the scale
59
And we never let the system prevail real picturesque, missing the sale
60
Never that, it's forbidden like the candy sisters lifting the veil
61
I'm still leading the pack, these cats lacking
62
Just because you be having a dragon don't mean you got the fire
63
It ain't nothing to play with, it's sacred
64
My pen is the paintbrush and dipping in paint plus
65
Truth, love, joy, anger, hatred and anguish
66
That's the spectrum of colors I paint with
67
I don't feast at the banquet
68
'Cause freedom is the set that I bang with
69
Listen the conditions in my slum village is tainted
70
I grew through the pavement
71
Like the flower the girl drew in the paper
72
The sky bluer and the [Incomprehensible] save you
73
The rules of engagement that they use, attitudes of a slave
74
Man got me stressed out losing my patience
75
The moves that I'm making across waters
76
Through contraband that I'm taking across borders
77
Information never lost in translation
78
Too many new words to be learned
79
I'm spitting fire giving third degree burns
80
Giving them heat stroke, hotter than rocking a P cote
81
[Incomprehensible], all these rappers super like me so, we go
82
Back in the days like reminiscing with Pete yo
83
Ladies welcome to the Kweli show, she goes
84
Won't you stay around with me?
85
And please say the rhyme
86
'Cause these rappers think that
87
I'm in love with your state of mind
88
'Cause you a favorite of mine
89
And I know you on your grind
90
I don't want to waste your time
91
But baby, won't you stay around with me?
92
And let my love, let my love and let my love
93
Ladies and Gentleman, it's Talib Kweli
94
Yeah, this Ear Drum y'all
95
B-b-banging on your ear drum
96
We got the incredible Pete Rock on the track like
97
I like that, I like that
98
I want to give an extra big shout to my man Dave Dart
99
Holding me down as always and as usual
100
And his new born son, Cannon, brand new to the world
101
He's now down with Blacksmith
102
Blacksmith is the movement
103
Jean Grae, Strong Arm Steady gang
104
Talib Kweli, it's what it is, yeah
