(Talking) |
|
If you can talk you can sing |
|
If you can walk you can dance |
|
That's an old proverb from Zimbabwe |
|
You know what I mean |
|
If you can talk you can sing |
|
If you can walk you can dance |
|
Yeah, and the trumpet is blown |
|
Yeah, alright, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon |
|
Alright, Wooh! |
|
(Talking) |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, one more time |
|
Yo, anybody can tell you how it is |
|
What we putting down right here is how it is and how it could be |
|
Reflection Eternal for real |
|
And with that- |
|
These cats is no match |
|
Plus they lack a certain knack for rapping |
|
Chasing but they never catch the wagon |
|
Like rerunning what's hap'ning |
|
Since back when |
|
They had potty issues and snotty tissues, we been rockin' |
|
Think you poppin' next year nobody will miss you |
|
My thoughts is too advanced for the artists on these labels |
|
They come sweeter than sabal and softer than mashed potatoes |
|
I tried to told you the rhymes run over emcees like Land Rovers |
|
Took 'em back in time like Sam Kofa, Sam Kofa |
|
We stand over the Atlantic, looking broad like a man's shoulders |
|
The fire is trapped in a belly, ready to pop like canned soda |
|
We outlasting, from middle passage |
|
Touched down in New York |
|
Cincinnatay! Big Ohio status what you thought |
|
Money it's classic these bastards try to treat us like cattle |
|
So life has been a constant battle, battle |
|
Rising above the crabs in the barrel |
|
Way too used to living in death's shadow |
|
We stay on point like the best arrow, arrow |
|
We hit the target accurate |
|
Star shit, back it up |
|
When we hit town, y'all niggas pack it up |
|
That's how we get down, straight smash it up |
|
Like a whip, hydroplaning |
|
Hydro on the brain and maintaining |
|
Game changing into subtle shit, we remain blatant |
|
Yo, got to tell you to your face |
|
You get replaced in this game, by Kweli |
|
Place the face with the name |
|
These cats drink champagne and toast to death and pain |
|
Like slaves on a ship talking about who got the flyest chain |
|
(Talking) |
|
Yo, we the reflection of our ancestors |
|
We'd like to thank you for the building blocks you left us |
|
Cause your spirit possessed us |
|
Yo, you blessed us |
|
Thank you very much (7x) |
