Talib Kweli, Wordsworth, Musiq Soulchild - So Good lyrics

Yeah as we continue on
Yeah (We recordin' in the house)
Ladies and gentlemen
This the soundtrack (In the natural sound)
Do not be alarmed (Children playin')
Don't panic, be calm, yeah
(Crickets chirpin')
We gon' hit you with with the words
We gon' hit you with the music
(We in Fort Greene right now)
'Course we gonna hit you with that Kweli shit

One of these days a change gon' come
For you and I and our children
Where you can live and just have fun
Don't nobody trip on where you come from
Everything is good yeah it's all love
It's freedom in the hood for all to get some
It's every woman to a man
To a child to a fam with all us on a
Higher level of understanding


But, if it's gonna take a while I'll chill
I can bask in the glory on that day
And if I gotta chill then boy I will
It's no problem for me because yo I be
B-Boy position standing here
Anticipatin' patiently just waitin'
To grind out for my dreams
And you (you) can't stop me boy

Listen ladies and gentlemen don't be alarmed
This is the soundtrack to what's goin' on
And if you want you can get it
I promise you if you let it
The rhythm'll be good to you
Yeah, let the rhythm be good to you
I promise baby it'll be so good to you
And now, you 'bout to witness the sounds
Of these Words, Musiq, and Kweli

Community blocks waitin' 'til
My opportunity knocks
But the door is usually locked
Because it's usually cops
Most of us wish we had a car and jewelry shop
But spend my days trying to fuck
Or find a movie to watch
Talkin' big plans to live large
And move from the block
Your only options from your moms is
To move to ya pops
Cigarettes trying to hold on to
The few that you got
Prices crazy high for you to give
Up a loosies a lot
Areas we from you scared you don't run
Don't care what you done
Be leery of tongue snitchin'
Hope the jury is hung
Tryin' to go from zero to
One like a hero becomes
While here air in my lungs ideas
I share with my sons
People down here so shady they
Could stare at the sun
Can't wait 'til that unemployment check
Clear once it comes
Daily routine, but my only theory when young
Was get money, get a job
And hope her period comes, just live life

Walkin' the block at night I
Stopped at a rhyme cipher
Circle of rhyme writers broken
Up by crime fighters
They said we loiterin' started
Orderin' us around
We ain't jump at the sound of they voice
They said "Get on the ground!"
This cause we black or what?
I'm sick of cops harassin' us
Probably because we ain't degrade
Ourselves fast enough
The people passin' us stopped and
The cops start actin' right
Somebody had my back tonight
Off they go in a flash of light
You try to see the future take
A mental picture of it
City life is hard when your apartment
Don't fit in your budget
You need to get a room like
People who kiss in public
Plus you tempted just to say "Fuck
It" until you kick the bucket
There's more to life than appears
It ain't no crystal stair
As nails'll stick out and snare you
And this is crystal clear
Ain't no officials in chairs or
Fans that scream your name
It ain't a game but it's still
A challenge just the same

But, if it's gonna take a while I'll chill
I can bask in the glory on that day
And if I gotta chill then boy I will
It's no problem for me because yo I be
B-Boy position standing here
Anticipatin' patiently just waitin'
To grind out for my dream
And you (you) can't stop me boy
