Hello everybody.
[Db] Recording live from [Bb] somewhere.
[Ab] .
[Ebm] .
[Abm] .
[N] Singing.
From the first to the last damn responsibility is passion at the hole and not the half of the forecast sample.
and after it, projectile and I'm blasted with accurate and sassy shit.
me and Kweli close like Bethlehem and Nazareth.
[Ab] after this you can press a rewind on top, get master this.
shinin' like an asterisk, short on low CG, gather it.
connected like a red house from the townhouse to the tenements.
cause all my Brooklyn residents, on a heavy regiment.
[G] don't believe, here the evidence, where Brooklyn?.
[N] see that?.
rather think it all, can't believe that.
from [Db] where they send the jury at, to where the police go at.
tell them Kweli equality, tell them where we be at.
Brooklyn, New York City, where they paint murals of Biggie.
in [G] cash we trust, cause this ghetto fabulous life.
look pretty, what a pity, blunts are still 50 cents.
[Ab] it's incense, street sense is dominant, can't [G] be covered with incense.
my presence felt, my [N] name is Kweli from the eternal reflection.
people think it MC, it's your hand from misconception.
let me [Ab] meditate, set [Gm] it straight.
came to the conclusion that most of these cats are stutterweight.
let me demonstrate, walk [G] in the streets, it's like.
battling, be careful with [Ab] your body.
you must know karate, you think it's cool, [Gb] it's bulletproof like Karate.
I'm [B] acting like a [G] bitch already, be a visionary.
and maybe you can see your name in the column of obituaries.
[Ab] third grade teacher reading and talking about.
[N] I knew he'd amount to nothing.
neighbors like he was the quiet type.
who'd have thought they was frontin'.
talking loud like you an RCA.
get carted away with body parts and crates.
wasn't a way to start your [Abm] day, yo it's like.
1, 2, 3, from Devon, Talibwate.
we came to rock and roll to the zip line.
best alliance in hip hop, my home.
I said 1, 2, [N] 3, it's kinda dangerous to be an MC.
it's shot to a pot and a thingy.
to my alliance in hip hop, my home.
[Gm] [D] I [Gm] [Dm] .
[Gm] .
[D] [Gm] said my high-hats keep [G] on making it.
Brooklyn keep on taking it.
so relax, we'll take it back.
Red Hook where we're living [E] now.
really got me struggling and hustling and bubbling.
[G] and ain't I bubbling up, chilling.
more or less we just hustling.
when the top grows, my prime grows.
and [Eb] they want me to rock flows.
driving for perfection ever since I was a snot [Ab] nose.
cause I'm so true original [G] before I bustle.
[N] standing on a rooftop with a Zulu disciple.
you think you the shit, somebody in the wings will force you to.
it could be your true clique, it's a random kid that smoke Buddha.
consider me the entity within the industry.
without a history of spitting the epitome.
of stupidity, living my life expressing my liberty.
you gotta be done properly.
my name is in the middle of equality.
people follow me and know the cast of here on flow.
and assume I'm the real one with the lyrics like I'm Cyrano.
still sipping with your well water imported from Pluto.
316 milliliters for all the believers.
in miles of kilometers.
most cats cannot proceed us in the jungle with the leaders.
we the lions, you the cheetahs.
a [G] cycle to complete us.
if we come through your receivers.
you can play us and repeat us.
and then take us on maritas.
[Db] good Jesus.
most have been qualified to adjust.
make a pussy freeze up.
take it over, [Ab] eat stuff.
1, 2, 3.
most have been taught to live while they're hittin'.
we came here rockin' on to the tip-top.
best alliance in hip-hop wild.
I said 1, 2, 3.
it's kinda [Db] dangerous to be a MC.
this shot's a [Abm] wild game, baby.
hold your head when the beat drop [Ebm] wild .
.
[Bb] wild wild.
