[Yasiin Bey, Talib Kweli - History lyrics]
Kweli say
"Everybody act according to the season
That they born in"
Some in the night, some in the morning
Some at noon some in winter, some in June
It's all cool, it's the natural
Science is a jewel
For me and mines, yours and you
Let's move, tell you a little bit about mine
Yo
I was born in a season where
The world was quiet and cold
Celebrations were going on
Some were happy, some were sad
Some felt bad from being good
Some felt good from being bad
Feelings pass and change
But they never leave, they here to stay
Holiday, holiday, happy birthday
Teenage love, the first cut run deep
Soul on flesh, this is the Brooklyn streets
Year of the Ox, seven and three
MD, the history (come on)
Every soul got one of these (yes)
It's where you been and where you be
And without understanding you cannot proceed
Complete, the start and the end
Then it just go round again
Again and again, brand new
Again and again, so fresh
Again and again, newness
I was born in the decade of decadence
Where they worshipped what they have
Ford was president, do the math
The war was ended when the North
Vietnamese stormed the city of Saigon
We was like, bye, we was gone
Let bygones be bygones
I'm gone, spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
Where they hug you with the firearm
Try it on
Like new school clothes, Black Star official
Smash when we do a show, it's facts
No mystery i'm down with the crew
Like Mussolini in Italy
I rock with the Roots like the Giving Tree
Powerful, bigotry at work
Me and my people got history
These rappers dumb it down considerably
We get it poppin' like a hit chorus
The flow is historic
They can't get rid of us
Ubiquitous, and we lay the law like Leviticus
Ten years ago we made history
So they missing us
And don't call it comeback in particular
We will never blend into ephemera or
Fade into peripheral
Transmission of the ministers' origin
Over broadcast clear without diminishing
Black Star stovetop burning
Soul temperatures, administers
Alkalines, aminos and minerals: essentials
Served over Dilla time signatures
It's miracle material
Remember it's right now foreverness
"Everybody act according to the season
That they born in"
Some in the night, some in the morning
Some at noon some in winter, some in June
It's all cool, it's the natural
Science is a jewel
For me and mines, yours and you
Let's move, tell you a little bit about mine
Yo
I was born in a season where

Some felt good from being bad
