[N] Singing.
From the first to the last damn responsibility is passion at the hole and not the half of the forecast sample.

[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.

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.

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.
