Talib Kweli, Glen Reynolds, Kendrick Lamar, Curren$y - Push Thru lyrics

I rise as day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays
Quick sand and mistakes
Smash walls to get through
I fight the good fight even on the bad days
It’s darkest before light
I’m gonna push through

Turbo-charged bars
Slot cars on tracks, falling off
Game scars in these rap wars
Ain’t nothing band-aids won’t cover
Touring with 7D coverage
Live bands, two buses, my own cash
No budget, no major label fundings, Jets baby
We went from crawling to walking to running
You can’t say nothing, you under gag order
Hopping out of Audi’s hurting
Y’all with kicks, i’m the Transporter
Think about it, never mind, you ain’t gotta
I’m already on some whole other
Word to yo mufuckin' self
Nobody else gon’ do it for ya, nobody else
Every now and then someone’ll offer ya help
But they ain’t doing nothing
'Til they really see you tryna do something
I ain’t bluffing
Kush puffing on you jive turkeys
Stuffing stockings with these gifts
Audible applaudables homie take a wiff

I rise as day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays
Quick sand and mistakes
Smash walls to get through
I fight the good fight even on the bad days
It’s darkest before light
I’m gonna push through

When you a man, action is what’s expected
Nothing is spoken on
Producer never got time for no excuses
Gotta go beyond my flow is tom-foolery
I smoke these pork rappers so
Fast they call me charcuterie
I beautifully exude the vibe
That’s free of ambiguity
Ya goonery for the sake of
Goonery is cartoons to me
It’s coonery, it’s lunacy
Let’s make it plain
Only way that you hang is attached to a tree
The moon talk to the sea and
Speak the body language fluently
She makes it rain
When I’m on fire, she always try to douse me
Only reason that you make it rain
Is ‘cause your diamonds cloudy
I see you from a mile
Away when it get overcast
Old people feel it in they bones
Invade your home like I broke the glass
And let myself in
Fighting for freedom like the
People in Tunisia
Spread through Sudan and Egypt
This the music for the movement
The score to your achievements
Never join ‘em so you gotta beat ‘em
It’s carpe diem hey (hey) yeah

I rise as day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays
Quick sand and mistakes
Smash walls to get through
I fight the good fight even on the bad days
It’s darkest before light
I’m gonna push through

Like kindergarteners
My vision’s bothered by vigilantes that
Harbor on street corners
Try your hardest to harvest bundles
Of weed on ya
The starving’ll speed on ya, stampede on ya
Impede on your pockets then pee on ya
Dreams of us living lavish in
Fabrics of fine linens
Spending, established
With women dining and laughing
But this environment got us violent
Ready to crash in–
–to society, take this driver seat
Hope you fastened
Your seatbelts twice, when I
Rolled them dice, i crapped
So many times I can
Build casinos from scratch
Too many daps you might receive
From the things you achieve, relax
That’s what my mental say
But my physical’s been detached
I’m on some other shit
Like fuck the government
I'm higher rankings, where’s the mothership?
I made a covenant that I was
Changing but my luck has been
Quite disgusting when reality tainted
Where the fuck you been?
Left him face down like he was planking
In a cold world where old girl
And her homeboy got a motive
You can bench curl your tribulations
That sensation's insulting
Got a wifey or a mistress
Nigga which one you indulging?
Regardless of who you pick know life's a
Bitch when you ain't focused nigga
I'm focused

I rise as day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays
Quick sand and mistakes
Smash walls to get through
I fight the good fight even on the bad days
It’s darkest before light
I’m gonna push through
