[Talib Kweli, Amber Coffman, Myka 9 - Radio Silence lyrics]
I know, we back we home, let’s go
I know, we back we home, let’s go!
Check it out
Born this way
The universe wasn’t formed in a day
Praise the Lord and pray
We the children of God
Better learn how to walk this way
Try to walk with faith but it’s hard
What more could I say?
I feel I’m cursed so I talk this way
Gotta write what I’m livin’ in graffiti
It’s the hood hieroglyphics so I’m lookin’
For a wall to spray
You could picture me rollin’
You could picture me holdin’
You could never picture me foldin’
Refuse to beholden to your racist
Image of a Black man kiss my entire colon
Great mind, even though the legacy is stolen
It’s all for the silver and gold
You can tell you in the ghetto
From the litter in the road
Man this middle-of-the-road shit
Really getting old
Which one is the real you? I don’t know
It’s still you how can I tell if you under a
Spell? Did the fake you kill you?
Better pass the mic in the afterlife
If so, let me spit flows
Good enough to offer to God as a sacrifice
Born again like I passed away
Castigated for being honest
Caught bail like a castaway
Cause I feel like I’m swimmin’ on an island
When I’m gettin’ introspective:
That’s radio silence
When I’m fuckin’ up program
Directives: that’s radio violence
You were the one who wants to slow me down
I’m a criminal when you’re around
What makes me think you would love me?
What makes you want to unplug me?
Born this way, woke up like this
The midpoint between science and religion
Is tryna find out what the meaning of life is
October 3rd, '75, my birth is a blessing
Ain’t no spoken word could ever describe
How the flow get better
I live on the edge, I’ll send you a postcard
Fuck a phone
I got a chip on my neck that’s a close call
Turn the lights off
See how we glow in the dark
Or we growin’ apart or tryna survive the
Flood like we in Noah’s Ark
We battin’ down the hatchets and we set sail
Tryna get far away from
Inhalin’ them chemtrails
My intel says they makin’ people
Out of the stem cells
The gun's our sunflower seed
We love to spit shells
When them super soakers get let off
It don’t end well
"I ain't know you like to get wet, dawg"
Like Denzel they hype it up like marketers
Sparklin’ like a fish scale
'Til you chasin’ a high like Captain
Ahab after that big whale it’s criminal
You were the one who wants to slow me down
I’m a criminal when you’re around
What makes me think you would love me?
What makes you want to unplug me?
Born this way, Capricorn
LA on the day of January 15
Dr king, his dream torn from a
Warm womb formed from the clay, existing
Shifting from the essence, uplifting in
The presence, just drifting, gifting
Through this mortal coil
With mystic lessons from the sage
California spoiled a blessing, blissed up
My first breath in outer space
I kissed death in the
Face, no identity complex
It gets left in it's place i’m proud to say
No aborted torment to my rejection
Miffed, dismayed and somewhat befuddled
I struggled to hustle and come up
When the blood corpuscle boils
I'm pressin' issues
It's business that's mixed with pleasure
It's plizness to play and get paid
During this clone war for DNA
You should know more about the donors
Confessing my doula from prenatal
I'm off fire, water
Elixir of liquor with soft or
Hardcore drugs in my system
Sicker desire to be delivered
Wisdom, pour black
White sexy texture of lovers
Like jungle fever, wild zebras
To make this fetus, brother
The son of my father, i want to hear my one
Shawki and my daughter Aja
Lecture selections in musical
Meters in physics
You should explore and visit more
Exquisite shores and districts
Take a breather
Believe in your epic eye memory
You are descendant of natural leaders
Extended from before the Nephilim, Bethlehem
Even Eden and new testaments, Heaven-sent
Energy, books, messages read them
Scriptures, look at the various sizes
Of giants in Egyptian pictures
Stonehenge endured the mathematics of
Mayans and megalithic structures
Evidence frequencies Vedas
We're just the latest reproduction
Created out of pure star dust and made
In his image but God is greatest!
I know, we back we home, let’s go!
