[Talib Kweli, Madlib - Time is Right lyrics]
"Well I'm impressed most of all
With the serene mood a lack of comprehen"
"I can dig it man, right on right on'! I
Know what'chu sayin baby
These folks that come here, have invested
A lot of credit in havin a - fine time
When the time is right - baby"
(what time is it! what time is it! what
Time is it! what time is it)
Yeah, the time is right for me to find a mic
The crowd is tight
The lab ac' ain't workin right
But, I'mma get it done
Even if we gotta fight
I ain't goin out like that, no not tonight
Yo let me get a mic check
This my prayer for y'all niggas cause the
Game ain't got no life left
Came in with Mos Def and Hi Tek
And that's my family dawg
They might catch the last gasp of my breath
And rest in peace to my nigga Dilla
My mind into real estate like a bigger villa
Your rhymes are cheaper than gas in Jersey
Before you leave the state you know
You got to fill up
Matter fact, put your schwag back
Cause I got the realest
If not the killer then I ain't smokin
I'm not buyin off the street or be
Askin 'em what kind you growin
You can't flush it is cause
The kind is floatin
Kids be eyein' totin' open defyin
Mothers that's cryin oceans
It's Sin City without the Clive Owen
I keep it fresh
These rappers staler than a big
Of chips you findin open
Let's take our time and, have a silent moment
It's like I'm jokin, i get 'em open like
Multiple lines are snorted
They snortin I'm spittin flames nigga
The flow'll blowtorch ya
I'm on fire so they always try to put me out
Flatbush all day but they don't
Know what my hood about
I'm so good without your props and accolades
Crackin like whips on the back of slaves
Spittin on the master's grave
I'm tighter than 'yette's braids
Y'all niggas are "Tenderheaded"
Just cause I ain't you as my friend yet
Then forget it
SHEESH'! Y'all niggas are sensitive
That's really me on that shit
Not a representative
Nothin' pretend or fake, many came and went
Tryin to imitate
That's the quickest way to disintegrate
It's cause I innovate
My shit hardly assimilate
Still I'm bringin' "Sexy Back"
Like Timbaland and Timberlake
I don't stop, I never hesitate
Plus it don't start 'til I arrive
And so I'm never late
The time is right get it straight
The time is right get it straight c'mon
I'm so slick it's slide when you ride with it
Like the Y kitted
Do or die with it like the Stuy in it
Fly with it, Do or Din with it
Like the Chi in it
Live the life of Riley like
My nigga from Guy, shit
With the serene mood a lack of comprehen"
"I can dig it man, right on right on'! I
Know what'chu sayin baby
These folks that come here, have invested
A lot of credit in havin a - fine time
When the time is right - baby"
(what time is it! what time is it! what
Time is it! what time is it)
Yeah, the time is right for me to find a mic
