Talib Kweli - To The Music lyrics

rate me

Ft. Maino

[Intro: Talib Kweli]

(To the music)

Go 'head (What?) go 'head (Yeah) go 'head (Foundation, y'all)

Brooklyn New York is most certainly in the building (Worldwide, baby)

Yeah, go 'head, go 'head, go 'head

Hey ?, turn it up man

9th Wonder in the house, let's go

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]

First rule of the party: respect the DJ

Second rule, if he's got the girls dancin', respect what he play

(Wait a second) Or she play, the woman is the womb

We in the moon with the sky whisperin' to you

She carryin' a sword, like she Joan of Arc

Dude got a Napoleon complex, they bone a part

When I throw them darts, I hit her in the heart

The livest love survive the flood like Noah's arc

Faded, but still jaded enough to be cautious

That's why I never force it, I'm sure she receive offers

Forever she go, clever wherever she go often

Dancin' all night, it's like she's never exhausted

Better forfeit if she's too much to handle

She ? open, now they're runnin' both ends of the candle

No I ain't like the rest of the dudes, please don't get it confused

You gave me rhythm cause my heart beat (To the music)

[Hook: Talib Kweli]

And when them other broads get jealous

She stuntin' on 'em like Liz Taylor

(Listen to the music)

Cross the floor like Grace Kelly

Not a care in the world, ain't nothin' they could tell me

(Listen to the music)

[Verse 2: Maino]

I got you Kweli! Maino

We only here once, let's live it out

All black ?, glass tinted out

Whole club packed, broads and the liquor

The more patron, the more damage to my liver

Standin' on the couch with my niggas

Screamin' in they ear, "Yeah! We gon' live forever!"

Damn I wish this moment last forever

Or long enough for us to have a moment to remember

Been around the world, lived the crazy life

Shorty said she heard stories, I was hella trife

She said her ex-man was locked up with me

And she know a girl that used to stay in touch with me

It's a small world, girl, now let's make a toast

To the rest of the night, all we need is hope

Hopin' that the liquor gettin' to her head

Hopin' that we wake up in the same bed, yup

[Hook]

And when them other broads get jealous

She stuntin' on 'em like Liz Taylor

(Listen to the music)

Cross the floor like Grace Kelly

Not a care in the world, ain't nothin' they could tell me

(Listen to the music)

[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]

So gorgeous that I couldn't ignore it

To let this opportunity pass by, I know I couldn't afford it

We add a chapter to the life story

I turned around, seen her movin' across the floor headin' right for me

You're sexy and plus you get the raper

They throwin' ice, you slide on 'em like a figure skater

This nigga greater, a demonstrator, I make you come

To my world where your body language is my native tongue

It's like a wave how you rollin', I keep it goin'

We movin' in slo-motion like we walkin' on the floor of the ocean

It's like you floatin', I got you explodin'

Keepin' it tight, I'm like the thief in the night, every moment is stolen

Gotta know when to go in and when to let it go

Gotta know when to chill and when to let her know

Men have groupies, but women have stalkers

She only tryin' to release endorphins

[Hook]

And when them other broads get jealous

She stuntin' on 'em like Liz Taylor

(Listen to the music)

Cross the floor like Grace Kelly

Not a care in the world, ain't nothin' they could tell me

(Listen to the music)

[Outro]

Talib Kweli on this motherfucker, we ridin' out, baby!

Hear how this bitch sound?

We rollin', man.
