[Talib Kweli, Common, Skillz - So Far So Good lyrics]
Uh huh, yeah, uh, uh
Whoo! It's beautiful music baby
Huh, your boy Skillz, right
My man Com from the Chi
Kweli from the BK side
Hip Hop to the day that we die
So far so good with no endin in sight
Lookin back on all the places I
Done been with this mic
Let my teachers tell it
I was supposed to be a failure
Let me tell it
I was supposed to be on stage in Australia
Went from sittin on the curb
With no gear to flaunt
To havin gifts with the words
I make 'em do what I want
And I'm a stay in the front
It's easy to the kid
Y'all always in the back like Jeezy adlibs
If you fail to prepare, you preparin to fail
And it's hard to see a heaven
When you livin in hell
If you lookin at it different
You'll see a way out
How you gon' see money? You can't
See your way off your couch
If opportunity comes
I'm a see what it's bout
You can see it in my swag
I done figured it out if you see doubt
I'm thinkin that y'all better re-route
Cause I'm a walk these dogs
Till Mike Vick get out
I'm thinkin I could take over the game
Maybe I could
They sayin I should change and maybe I should
Baby girl I'd be with you if I could
But I'm taking over the world and
It's so far so good uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good uh, so far so good!
We've come so far, there's so far to go
Vision of a mission, it seem impossible
Precision of a Chicago street apostle flow
Allowin me to go to places
Only God would know
Travel the land, witnessin the battles of man
Goin up stream with paddle in hand
So I could make enough to hit my uncle
Steve if he asks for a grand
It's been a journey, as far as universal laws
I'm the attorney, had to learn me
Just to burn me up
Holler to the world to turn me up
As the game change y'all
I let my words re-up
It was written on the walls
That success is a process
No matter how hard I fall I
Know it is some progress
Notches of the ladder I climb
Holdin a bottle of wine
So many paths to take, I'm followin mine
I'm thinkin I could take over the game
Maybe I could
They sayin I should change and maybe I should
Baby girl I'd be with you if I could
But I'm taking over the world and
It's so far so good uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good uh, so far so good!
Yeah, Talib Kweli stay in the zone
I'm leavin 'em in a phase by now
I'm kinda used to leavin 'em so amazed
With my man Com-bred and Skillz
They know the ways
Call up Virginia Slim baby
I've come a long way from
Hoppin the train with Rubix and Phot?
Now I'm
Hoppin the plane, I'm seasoned like o'bay
Purer than cocaine that's whiter than Colgate
My product harder than narcotics
I handled the whole way
Damn it I'm so straight
Why you worry how my pocket looks?
Y'all just sound like y'all got pocket books
Stop and look as long as I rock it
Brooklyn is represented right
This is where the sun meet the high rise
It ain't no end in sight
I'm gonna end it right here
I'm a end the nightmares
That you have cause you sleepin
And you actin type
Scared, I wake up like years
Say my prayer like I should
And I've come so far cause I'm so good
I'm thinkin I could take over the game
Maybe I could
They sayin I should change and maybe I should
Baby girl I'd be with you if I could
But I'm taking over the world and
It's so far so good uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good uh, so far so good!
Whoo! It's beautiful music baby
