talib kweli & j. rawls - native sons lyrics

[sampled intro]
warning! the sergeant general has determined that the sound you are about to hear can be devastating for your ear

[intro]
this one goes out to the legendary native tongues crew
jungle brothers, de la soul, tribe called quest
queen latifah, monies love
chi+ali, black sheep
busta rhymes,.let’s go!

[verse 1]
we are witnessing a hip+hop apocalypse
if you ain’t got them bars, i promise it’s looking ominous
let’s get it going, let’s get provocativе
[?] stopping us, we are the nеw conquerors
rappers get unruly and moody, [?]
bragging about material objects with people starving, bruh
and that’s why the phrase “eat the rich” is so popular
please, these elitists can never defeat the populace
now who these novices think they tryna get bruh like
without architecting this and the inception of megalopolis
i leave your city, your room, which is like a [?]nand rap like a mummy
let’s get buddy a sarcophagus
i.break a rapper like a promise
standing next to famous artists, these n+ggas’ biggest accomplishments
this is culture over politics
thelanguage of these lames is greek to me like a krapopolis
[chorus]
life is all about balance,.i stay on your dean
you got to ride to the challenge. i stay on your dean
whether on and off stages, i stay on the dean
even when collecting wages. i stay on my dean
praises to the most high, this an offering
trust i’m just getting started ’cause i got more to bring
i’ve been to the mountain top like it was all a dream
i’m moving loving, that don’t cost a thing

[verse 2]
we’ve arrived where people ain’t living they just survive
people scared of the truth get more comfortable with the lies
when they come at you and hate this really love and the disguise
they hate the only language that angry is going to provide
there’s nothing you can do to me lanes in the try
how you going to k!ll me? a n+gga already died
ignorance is not a virtue and neither is betty pride
you cranky go take a nap, you n+ggas like betty wide
right, they our people all in chains
was it all in vain is what we ask the lord as we the call his name
it’s all a game to these colonisers, yeah, they all the same
they causing pain and slaughter all the game like [?]
if all things was equal, they would forfeit games
like we saw them pouring rain [?]
employment gain for all the sisters rocking the horses, mane
we talking slang, tribe called quest in the hall of fame
[chorus]
life is all about balance,.i stay on your dean
you got to ride to the challenge. i stay on your dean
whether on and off stages. i stay on the dean
even when collecting wages. i stay on my dean
praises to the most high, this an offering
trust i’m just getting started ’causei got more to bring
i’ve been to the mountain top like it was all a dream
i’m moving loving, that don’t cost a thing

[outro]
5,000 cubic watts
sound system, state of the art
5,000 cubic watts
sound system, state of the art
5,000 cubic watts
sound system, state of the art
5,000 cubic watts
sound system, state of the art
that whole native tongue organization set so many of us free
de la soul, tribe called quest
jungle brothers, black sheep, latifa was in there
kmd was in there
monie love
love yo, listen, all of them, bro
all of them getting..
leaders was in there too
all of that energy set us free, bro
