Asheru, Raheem DeVaughn, Talib Kweli - Mood Swing lyrics
[Asheru, Raheem DeVaughn, Talib Kweli - Mood Swing lyrics]
(Ya'll don't know right here this
Is the next single featuring
My man Talib Kweli, called Mood Swing
We gonna do it like this y'all)
You can run to every new thing under the sun
You be a jack of all trades
And a master of none mood Swinging
La la la la la eh oooo oo
Soon come you will understand
The motivation of a man
Getting the under hand
A local yokel on a mission to get global
Lettin my vocals amass to some total
And keep the point focal
You hear me but you don't listen
You think it's easy being
Put in this position
I freak speech, but still don't wanna preach
Ts peak thought in stimulate
Movement at at Emcees
Grab your gat hit the streets
That the rally cry the war horn the Akoben
Some cats is spiritually
War torn -environment
So I leading a community movement
And I don't need money for me
To make a community improvement
Tell me what you stand for
Would you settle for less or do you
Have the strength to demand more
Only time will tell
What this New World brings
Revolutions at order, check the Mood Swing
Swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
Swing
Low like sweet chariot
What I say make my voice deep as Barry's get
Carry it like a torch
Give birth to rhymes to meet beats
And then I'll marry em off
Have a divorce if the track is wack
(Please) My rhymes a rolling stone
Home is where the high hatters at
It's on this song
(it on this song) maybe one
Day it'll settle down
It ain't no good it all better now
Come on let it now
Mood Swing, changing the way we do things
Its a good thing
Listen to the whole hood sing
As they go La, La, La, La, La
Yeah as they go La, La, La, La, La
No fear no doubt and no worry everything
Is on time there's no hurry
Mood swinging, swinging, Mood swing, swinging
Mood swinging, swinging, Mood
Swing, swinging, oooo oo
Me and baby in the rental
She talkin gentle hit the
Hotel to presidential
Sweet kisses on the temple
Make her feel special
Light a candle scent got
Us in this sentimental
Mood, it's right wit the light
Just so I could see
Begin to set the pace for
What we gon get into
My fingers is lyrics it's
Back is the instrumental
Ancient Secrets, Indian, and Oriental
Blackin out doin shit that I can't rap about
Passin out, wakin up
Not awake awake enough to take
It up and not STOP
Love is a friends never know
If we can love again i said we gotta leave
She asked if she can come again (come again)
I had to meet Asheru at the studio
I'm runnin late
You know I hate to make a nigga wait
But damn baby "You look good
In the summer time gimme some of yours
I'm a give you some of mine"
Yo Kweli I remember being in the same dilemma
Hip-hop was number one my girl
Was number one contender
The great pretender wit a
Whole different agenda
Until I make it big "Life is one long gig"
Mood Swing like Ella or Coltrane it's classic
Like Soul Train it's timeless just
Like this rhyme is
So all of y'all bandwagon the campaign
Grab a hold of that Mood Swing
And do the damn thing
Mood Swing, changing the way we do things
Its a good thing
Listen to the whole hood sing
As they go La, La, La, La, La
Yeah as they go La, La, La, La, La
Uh You can run to every
New thing under the sun
You be a jack of all trades
And a master of none
Mood swinging, swinging, Mood swing, swinging
Mood swinging, swinging, Mood swing, swinging
I'm an outlet a front of which which you
Ain't figured out yet a resource
I pivot your efforts on the right course
It seats ya
Doin whatever it takes ta reach ya
All of it's in me, no really it's in me
A good brother, lovin son, a great lover
I'm a truth seeker, on a quest not a believer
I'm an Emcee for all of the world to see
Yea ya got my word on it
I'll put the Herd on it that we rep shit
It's the least to be expected
Fuck that prep shit
Jump on stage like we connected
From the same minds saying the same
Things at the same time
Back stage rappin like gettin
Ready for game time we a family
And ain't nothing goin to change that
For better or worse like
Somebody prearrange that
The way it is the way it always will
Be so I can still and still be
Soon come we will witness
A shift in consciousness
And black music is one
Of our greatest accomplishments
(one day) our names will live on as monuments
So that our kids can hold
Up they heads with confidence
That's when our nation will
Rise and realize that
Life without knowledge is death in disguise
The answer to my comprehension
Is just too complex
One minute from the next
Go from happy ta vexed
Mood Swing, yea see change is good sometimes
Mood Swing, yea
Its time for the essence to rhyme
Its time to Mood Swing take it on back
Mood Swing la, La, La, La
Is the next single featuring
