[Erykah Badu/background vocals] (Talib Kweli)<br>
Yo<br>
Ah ah ahhh.<br>
What's the matter with these damn emcees [Kweli] (I don't know)<br>
Come on baby if you feeling me [Kweli] (yea)<br>
Sit down with me, roll yourself a tree (uh)<br>
Now what the hell is going on in the industry [Kweli] (I don't know)<br>
Now don't the people want to feel the beat [Kweli] (hell yea)<br>
We talk about it every time we meet [Kweli] (yea we do)<br>
Would anybody like a cup of tea (rock on, on on on)<br>
Ba ba ba badum Badu<br>
<br>
[Talib Kweli] (Erykah Badu/background vocals)<br>
It's the BK emcee (Kweli)<br>
My rhymes is found in the veins of ghetto folks who surrounded with pain<br>
Going to clubs drowned in the liquor that's surrounding they brains<br>
Want to be thugs on every record got them sounding the same (hell yea)<br>
Ever since I first came to put it down in this game<br>
These people can't quite get there tongues around my name<br>
It's all for the good I'm still the same with or with out the fame<br>
But I'm saying the way you got my shit pronounced, it's a shame <br>
(umm umm umm) The first part is Arabic (Talib)<br>
That means the student or the seeker<br>
I never try to be no teacher or no preacher<br>
I just reach you through the speaker<br>
Never beat you in the head<br>
Cause all that preaching to the choir, yo it's dead, word (umm uhh uhh)<br>
Then you got (Kweli), let me put you on<br>
It means truth and knowledge from the people of the Akan<br>
Reaching you through the song, got you rocking to the beat<br>
Asking for Hi-Tek tracks, stopping me in the streets (uhh uhh come on)<br>
<br>
[Talib Kweli] (Erykah Badu/background vocals)<br>
Every body say it with me (Kweli)<br>
Rock the party, my crew hot feel these two shots<br>
Like the blast from a double barrel (shottie)<br>
It's got to be my man HiTek and Kweli<br>
Who make your (body), start the party<br>
My crew hot, feel these two shots<br>
Like the blast of a double barrel (shottie)<br>
It's got to be I got Badu rocking with me (Kweli)<br>
<br>
[Erykah Badu/background vocals] (Talib Kweli)<br>
What's the matter with these damn emcees [Kweli] (I don't know)<br>
Come on baby if you feeling me [Kweli] (yea)<br>
Sit down with me brought your self a treat (uh)<br>
Now what the hell is going on in the industry [Kweli] (I don't know)<br>
Now don't the people want to feel the beat [Kweli] (hell yea)<br>
We talk about it every time we meet [Kweli] (yea we do)<br>
Would anybody like a cup of tea (rock on, on on on.)<br>
Ba ba ba baa badu<br>
<br>
[Talib Kweli] (Erykah Badu/background vocals)<br>
Yea you pronounce her name Badu (Badu), love it you got to<br>
Some try to hard to be some try to hard not to<br>
Be just who they is, what that means that they not true [uhh uhh]<br>
A sister put it down, let me show you how I do (duu ehh uu ohh)<br>
Chill oc cause we still drop the ill hip hop<br>
We stay true to what we do whether you feel it or not<br>
When you see me rhyming or painting [uhh uhh]<br>
I'm climbing I'm praying, I'm rising I'm surviving<br>
I'm staying alive, y'all know what I'm saying<br>
I come from a place where cats lust papes (Kweli) [umm uhh]<br>
Love hate, be in the clubs late [yea]<br>
All our beliefs crush grape (come on)<br>
Steady rhymes takes bust ish straight<br>
Upstate we puff grate and stay with the sticky like duct tape<br>
Always pushing my self and steady knowing the ledge<br>
Black man over 21 supposed to be dead (ohh uu)<br>
Open instead cause I looked up in the face and laughed [uhh]<br>
Give it a name money I'm having a blast (umm um ohh oo)<br>
Ain't that right<br>
