Talib Kweli - Turnt Up lyrics
[Talib Kweli - Turnt Up lyrics]
Ayo, Fed whassup, bro?
Whassup with me? You know what's up with me
Man i'm trying to get paid in full
Check this out, right
Since Javotti is the label
And I'm talking over this def beat right here
I think we should turn it up
We got my man (Tr-tr Trend on the beat)
Thinking of the master plan
Where there’s nothing but cash inside my hand
Wanna dig into my pocket my
Prophet is heaven sent
I dig deeper, you know I represent, represent
Yeah, money over bitches
My sisters go over everything
My bandz will make you dance
I'm forever like a wedding ring
Far above the hate and
The jealousy that the cheddar bring
Trying to get away from the 85ers like Evelyn
Ride with me, I got ‘em leaking like Nene
Got ‘em leaking like Wiki
These monkeys biting like hickeys
Cause they’re seeing what I’m doing
Filling them with confusion
Cutting just like a truant
I’m fluent just like a student
Of the romance languages
Only the diamonds hang with us
My meal is decorated with garnishes
Just like your wages is
The crib’s outrageous like really
It's no joke the girl of your dreams be
Coming over to smoke loud
Turn it up loud, turn it up loud
Turn it up loud, turn it up loud
Drop it, stop it
With all the soap operas and the soap boxes
Turnt up, turnt up, turnt up, for the people
You can feel the heat from your speaker
My sound will darken your features
Run it down like a zebra
I move with the speed of cheetahs
I’m from Brooklyn where the heat is
The size of a two-litre
I ain’t asking for no followers
I'm looking for new leaders
Is hard not consuming all the
Bullshit they feed us
Intravenous like a cord to the
Womb from the fetus
Been hard since I started reading
Alliteration is literally littered
Through my DNA swimming all through my semen
So every time I bust, babies begin being born
Talk turns tough til them
Toasters that's tucked get
Drawn like a picture
Picture a perfect painting
Police profiling people peacefully praying
Lay the law like leaders
The lazy is lollygagging
On my grind getting guap
Guess green is the new black
Meet me at the bar, we throwing a few back
Hopped out the car
You know who blew that loud
Ayo we drink good, smoke good
These cats wearing funny hats
Like the pope would
I come in looking quite clean in the loafers
So hood might scheme up to no good
You no crook, Gosling in the Notebook
I got the birds on the wire
Like I know I Wood
I still rep POCs like I'm supposed to
Coming live from death row like I know Suge
My rhymes like a laser beam - so focused
I’m in the ring, so lean I need a foam cup
I ain't lying, bare teeth so ferocious
Maybe I’m lying bare feet in the ocean
On the beach fall asleep and I'm floating
To the beat so unique like a potion
I love music, I’m complete in my devotion
(Word, say it again)
I’m complete in my devotion
Whassup with me? You know what's up with me
Man i'm trying to get paid in full
Check this out, right
Since Javotti is the label
And I'm talking over this def beat right here
I think we should turn it up
We got my man (Tr-tr Trend on the beat)
