talib kweli - inner monologue lyrics
remember, whatever discipline you’re in, whether you’re a musician or a photographer, a fine artist or a cartoonist, a writer, a dancer, a singer, a designer, whatever you do, you have one thing that’s unique: you have the ability to make art. sometimes life is hard. things go wrong in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health. and when things get tough, this is what you should do. make good art.
this about to be the realest sh-t you ever heard
i lynch rappers, got them hanging on my every word
these b-tch rappers be claiming they slinging heavy word
really snitch rappers, n-gg-s singing like every bird
rich rappers, no, i don’t know them n-gg-s
n-gg-s don’t get rich rapping, they selling clothes or liquor
my flow is sicker ’cause i flow with vigor
i’m no beginner, peep the whole agenda
control my center ’cause i gravitate with gravitas
this my inner monologue
burning down your party ’cause our c-cktails is molotov
my crime mob make you stop, lock and drop, don’t get wolly-woped
actually battery in my back like a copper top
got it popping, started on the b-side of body rock
direct to fan, i’m running my shop like my mom and pop
modern day slavery today to be an artist, watch
they treat them like a product and try to mount like a hot ‘n tot
molly pop, n-gg-s not caring if they body rot
partying like mardi gras, get the cream like häagen-dazs
golly gosh, this is utopia, cornucopia
i’m known to start revolts against the romans like zen-bia
hoping to keep coping copious amounts of opiates
tried to start a union, but they blocked me like a soviet
i hope they get it, i’m sick of explaining history
i’m rolling with a circle of winners, we claiming victories
it ain’t a mystery, the hate’ll make it bittersweet
they hate when i engage to debate ’em like wale’s twitter feed
who i’m kidding? i’m the great debater
my crew stay winning, we stay innovating
your circle is rotten as great tomatoes
they get high with you then start dry snitching like jose canseco
prosecco, i’m sipping vino with a vivid hue
haberdasher rocking borsalinos like hasidic jews
pitiful, rappers never stand up to the ridicule
that’s why i had to get at you
wear it if it fit the shoe, n-gg-
baby, just shine your light
shine your light
baby, just shine your light
shine your light
if you’ve gotta dim yours, so they can shine brighter
just stay bright
