Talib Kweli-Verse 1
|
|
Here I am...
|
step out on the block to face the sun
|
Greet the people in the village that raised my son
|
As far as days go this look like an amazing one
|
I feel more normal in the summer the same as the Yankees won
|
It's like of course, what you expect less
|
The night about to kick off, folks is out in their best dress
|
Pimps and whores rising on the horizon
|
Ballers coppin more diamonds
|
Watch the ferrion looking towards Zion
|
What's embedded in the hardest head
|
It's the epic lie to me and debt to a
|
Country that gives us no credit
|
So cats stealin money cash hoes cuz
|
That's what's expected
|
What's the bill when the original architect is kinetic
|
Mummies return, so dummies can learn
|
Just how much Hollywood got to burn
|
Of our money that's hard-earned
|
But that really ain't my concern
|
As I walk the block
|
When the sun goes down it starts to get hot
|
Scorchin
|
|
Chorus:
|
Bridge to Bama
|
Bring your wife, your brother, your kids, your mama
|
(bring everybody) (your mammy)
|
Shits bananas (bananas)
|
The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner
|
(picture it)
|
|
Talib Kweli-Verse 2
|
|
Magnetic like refrigerator poetry
|
Attract imimators who wanna flow like me
|
You know it's me, floating free
|
Through the ghetto were the people supposedly
|
Ain't trying to show no love openly
|
Give me your hand (yeah)
|
Trying to build a bridge so we can stay the course
|
Hi-Tek lay the track for the train of thought to run across
|
Come across places were faces got tracks of tears
|
Cuz the human race been runnin up on they backs for years
|
Yeah, but they don't break
|
They keep it movin like when I travel the land
|
And peep how other people do it
|
How other people go through it
|
I'm bridging the gap like the Black Eyed Peas
|
I'm lovin givin it back, to see them raise up
|
I'm living for that
|
To keep trying means you keep failing
|
But if you don't keep trying
|
That means you keep dying
|
What the hell, we gonna die anyway
|
Keep your soul live when you're here
|
Is what I'm trying to say
|
|
