Talib Kweli - Prime Example lyrics

Yeah talib Kweli
Black Star reflection Eternal

I am what you want to be but you can't though
Prime example you cats can't flow but you
Get an "E" for effort


Please you think I give a fuck about
Your Clown Posse? You insane!
You acting like a journalist
And racking my brain
Since I was tagging my name on
The back of the train
Like my man in "La Haine", packing the same
Little Gat that put me back in the frame
Of mind to say "Fuck the Five-O"
Let me explain the rhyme
Yo, cut the lights low like Bob Marley
I'm the black star they probably
Follow my every move
Like I'm the son of John Gotti
Escape to Paris like a
Jazz man round midnight

Attack the dreaming rap through the demons
See the situation and extract the meaning
Internationally known trees actually grown
Through the cracks in the sidewalk
See it in my walk hear it in my talk
Bet you cats feel it in my rap flow
You can throw me a spliff but
You can keep your tobacco

Are y'all with me tonight?
Êtes-vous avec moi?
Y'all love the children and dance like Elegba
Say Ma where you goin with that flavor
These cats ain't in my league
This here is major mind state of the art
Yeah I play my part with razor-sharp words
Shot straight for the heart
Beautiful like chords played on a
Harp with trumpets blaring
Angels preparing for the fate
We all sharing at
One time or another through
Sunshine or thunder
Ain't got no time for the blunders
Then bond with one another to
Make the classical track
What? The battery in my back

Like mushrooms from the plush
Womb of the sweet
The city workers pushing dust
Brooms in the street we complete the cipher
Push up your lighter
Throw your vanity in the bonfire word
