Talib Kweli - Time Is Right lyrics

rate me

"Well I'm impressed most of all with the serene mood.

A lack of comprehen... "

{"I can dig it man, right on right on~! I know what'chu sayin baby.

These folks that come here, have invested, a lot of credit

In havin a - fine time, when the time is right - baby."}

("WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT! ")

Yeah, the time is right for me to find a mic

The crowd is tight, the lab ac' ain't workin right

But I'm a get it done, even if we gotta fight

I ain't goin out like that, no not tonight

Yo let me get a mic check

This my prayer for y'all niggaz cause the game ain't got no life left

Came in with Mos Def and Hi-Tek

And that's my family dawg, they might catch the last gasp of my breath

And rest in peace to my nigga Dilla

My mind into real estate like a bigger villa

Your rhymes are cheaper than gas in Jersey

Before you leave the state you know you got to fill up

Matter fact, put your schwag back, cause I got the realest

If not the killer then I ain't smokin

I'm not buyin off the street or be askin 'em what kind you growin

You can't flush it is cause the kind is floatin

Kids be eyein totin open defyin mothers that's cryin oceans

It's Sin City without the Clive Owen

I keep it fresh, these rappers staler than a big of chips you findin open

Let's take our time and, have a silent moment

It's like I'm jokin, I get 'em open like multiple lines are snorted

They snortin I'm spittin flames; nigga the flow'll blowtorch ya

I'm on fire so they always try to put me out

Flatbush all day but they don't know what my hood about

I'm so good without your props and accolades

Crackin like whips on the back of slaves, spittin on the master's grave

I'm tighter than 'yette's braids, y'all niggaz are "Tenderheaded"

Just cause I ain't you as my friend yet, then forget it

SHEESH~! Y'all niggaz are sensitive

That's really me on that shit, not a representative

Nuttin pretend or fake, many came and went, tryin to imitate

That's the quickest way to disintegrate

It's cause I innovate, my shit hardly assimilate

Still I'm bringin "SexyBack" like Timbaland and Timberlake

I don't stop, I never hesitate

Plus it don't start 'til I arrive and so I'm never late

The time is right get it straight

The time is right get it straight... c'mon!

I'm so slick it's slide when you ride with it

Like the Y kitted, do or die with it like the Stuy in it

Fly with it, +Do or Die+ with like the Chi in it

Live the life of Riley like my nigga from Guy, shit...
