Talib Kweli - So Low lyrics
[Talib Kweli - So Low lyrics]
I can go so low
I can feel the gravity that's
In the world around me i can go so low
I can feel the fire burning
As it swirls around me and I've been so low
I felt ice cold in hours at
The bottom of the sea might have been so low
You might did low get low but you
Never been as low as me
I always speak for the struggle
My people still hurting
I'm a name brand I'm a product
But still a real person
I'm still flirting with death
Although I'm still certain
About my commitments in life
Although I'm still searching
I bet I find a way if not I bet I make a path
One thats seldom traveled by the masses
I never stuck in all the traffic
I cut through all the plastic
Enemies of the enlightened like
The government is fascist
I talk it how I live it yet
I'm still considered a walking contradiction
Cause, I'm breaking out of
Your artistic prison listen
I got my own demons what I'm
Supposed to do with yours
Times like this I gotta remind myself
What I do It for
People I knew before celebrity swear they
See the change in me
I tell em change is god you gotta let it be
How does it feel to come full circle
Still cursing still pursing my lips
To pull purple but
Witness it the building of a legacy
So let us just pray cause the
Journey thats ahead of us
Got us facing a task that just
Might get the best of us
Thats why we gotta clash with
The Titans like Pegasus
No Oedipus but it's like the
Beat is my therapist
When I let it in it get up
In the cracks and the crevices
Of my memories what kind of
Treasure are you buried with
You fight when you die are you
A soldier or a terrorist
Remember this there's no one else
To blame when you're solo
Establish your fan base local before
You take it global
Don't be scared spend your own dough
You gotta speak up be vocal
Sometimes you feel so low
Ain't nowhere to go but up go with us
We just getting started why you slowing up
But know enough to know by a collective we
Even if my name is on the
Record sleeve I ain't into brevity
What the fuck is a celebrity
I can feel the gravity that's
In the world around me i can go so low
I can feel the fire burning
As it swirls around me and I've been so low
I felt ice cold in hours at
The bottom of the sea might have been so low
You might did low get low but you
Never been as low as me
I always speak for the struggle
My people still hurting
I'm a name brand I'm a product
But still a real person
I'm still flirting with death
Although I'm still certain
About my commitments in life
Although I'm still searching
I bet I find a way if not I bet I make a path
One thats seldom traveled by the masses
I never stuck in all the traffic
I cut through all the plastic
Enemies of the enlightened like
The government is fascist
I talk it how I live it yet
I'm still considered a walking contradiction
Cause, I'm breaking out of
Your artistic prison listen
I got my own demons what I'm
Supposed to do with yours
