Talib Kweli, Madlib - The Show lyrics
[Talib Kweli, Madlib - The Show lyrics]
Five something in the morning going on six
It's daylight, sunrise time
Time to free yo'self, free your soul
Free your mind ladies, free that ass, yeah
Coast to coast it's the most
We don't brag and boast
We just leave 'em comatose
It's your boy Talib Kweli
Yeah, flow is tight though I
Got a couple screws loose it's cuckoo
My rep in this game is
Bigger than Bruce Bruce
Who you? Your name smaller than
Five grains of couscous
It's the highest caliber
Your caliber is deuce deuce
Shoot, y'all niggas can't hang
Like a loose noose i get on stage
Niggas in my ear like a Bluetooth
And that's the triple truth Ruth
They lips is loose like
The Señor Love Daddy in
The bulletproof booth, kuff
My rhymes is full of truth
And the business full of lies
Try to look a Masai kid in
His eyes for the flies
And tell him how he fucked
Up our environment daily
The only thing we know about Africa
Is from Nas or Belly
But go off like a Hutu or Tutsi
From Rwanda or Burundi
Over drums like Babatunde Olatunji
Saying nigga just to keep our teeth white
Like Paul Mooney fighting spiritual wars
Like the Shi'ite or the Sunni
Yo, our music went from tap
Dance to the lapdance
Try to get me to sell out
And that's a fat chance
You see black faces in my rap pages
Larry Davis, Angela Davis or Ossie Davis
Yeah, welcome to the show, it's Talib Kweli
So amazing live from California it's
The Madlib Invasion, let's go!
This exercise in freedom is
Called The Liberation
I keep it fly by a process of elimination
When it come to paying the kid
Sometimes it's hesitation
Til I make 'em check it
In like they got reservations
But there ain't no reservations
About copping this
Even though it's free for the people
There ain't no stopping this
Popping fresh, caking up, I'm
Breaking up the, monotonous flow
That can't write or plant life
Like a botanist grow
A new crop and just roll, it up
Blow it out whoa
Excuse the cockiness though, I'm
Just showing out, no
You can't go without this
Now what'chu know about that?
Now what'chu know about now what'chu
Know about to fade
It's daylight, sunrise time
Time to free yo'self, free your soul
Free your mind ladies, free that ass, yeah
Coast to coast it's the most
We don't brag and boast
We just leave 'em comatose
It's your boy Talib Kweli
Yeah, flow is tight though I
Got a couple screws loose it's cuckoo
