WITNESS - Talkn Bout lyrics
rate meFt. Skrip & KIDD
(Verse: Skrip)
Yaw, yoyoyo, these whack rappers give me cooties
I'm on the opposite side of a Charlie Chaplin movie
I'm like Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park on the mic
I'm louder than ever with every single word that I write
But slavin' away, rob a hay-ve and a-pavin' the way for the down cast
Playin' charades inside of a mouse trap
(They ain't sayn nothin') so they askin' where my house at
It's in Shy Town, the north side, where the streets crack
This is D-rap, to freedom relapse
Rip em in, I'd rob a church van just to pack em in
Cuz all I wanna see is hood change
I'm tired of the lies, lux cars and the wood grain
While all we ever feelin' is that good pain
The sleuth(?) and the wounds of an abused brain
Strip clubs pack, liquor stores pack
School shut down, all they open gothotecas off his right nut
(Verse 2: KIDD)
(I would like to say sum' real quick)
(Savy!)
What we talkin' bout? What we talkin' bout?
Money on the lips of a priest, that's a deadly word
(That's a lie) We had a baby with the devil
Don't that sound absurd?
Cuz they really sayin' nothin' tryna sell the words
(That's a lie) For a couple dollas, hand it with the holy water
Make em sing a song and pray a prayer, then we back at square one
For the lonely ones that's tryna find direction
I go to church every weekend, no party, pay attention to em
(That's a lie) Feel like everyone around me really don't like me
I feel like I ain't good enough to be a christian
I feel they don't listen to me when I be speakin'
I wonder if that's why I have trouble believin'
They don't feel the broken nights and see the darkest hours
Tryna find the highest tower, then I jump off (jump!)
Could someone gimme hope? I got my neck around this rope
And I'm about to kick this chair, will they really care?
(Verse 3: Witness)
(I got sum' to say, yo)
When it comes to rhythm and bars, I get up and spar
Kill em with art, tryna gas em', I fill up a cart
Ya see my... opposition not, they not my competition
Listen, y'all trippin' if y'all don't see I'm about the mission
You people trippin', don't wanna hear what I gotta say
Tell J to follow in his will, then I'mma cast away
And the moment I speak up, they wanna silence me
Tech is history, you can't duck his dynasty
So stop the ? the politics, I'm ? for the omniens
Who flip the world with his wrist like the Omnitrix
Chicago, look how far the enemy's gone
The vision's our pro'lem
That the street Clameny is on
I seen this beautiful, I know she got ya
Lookin' backwards I seen a Satan, but you see Natasha
Uh, chosen, what this feel like?
Pen heavy, but my flow is real light
