|
Get back, back, get back |

Talib Kweli: |
|
It's a funky sen-sa-tion ain't it? |
|
I'm havin a conversation wit'cho imagination |
|
It was explainin how you was waitin, for somethin amazin |
|
Like when it come out you out the door racin to the store (*zoom*) |
|
It took a lot of perse-verance and patience |
|
We was preparin for our place among the ancients |
|
Yo basically yo' take on me ain't makin me |
|
or breakin me and yo I hate to see a fake MC |
|
I take out all my competition from like A to Z |
|
Cause I get fly more frequently than a travel agency |
|
That's what I'm made to be, hip-hop through my artery |
|
An important part of me the soundtrack to my oddysey |
|
It got me, rockin retardedly |
|
Pardon me for speakin incorrect politically |
|
Anything less would be me speakin hypocritically, and I don't do dat |
|
You lingerie MC's I see through that |
|
I make a point about you and your crew, go "Tru dat" |
|
Who dat? It's the Reflection |
|
Remember the name, slid in the game before the "2000 Season" came |
|
Breakin the chain, usin the pain as our ammunition |
|
to blast Babylonian towers out of position |
|
It's the Reflection and we poppin like your ears on a plane |
|
We make you disappear like tears in the rain |
|
The fears in your brain is clear when I appear on the terrain |
|
and bloody your nose |
|
I got more lines than co-CAINE that's why you sniffin' around |
|
We diggin' for different sounds to keep it hittin' |
|
Straight up the only way we gettin' down with the sound is provacative |
|
It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give |
|
It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give |
|
You got a issue with that then it ain't my problem kid |
|
Y'all niggaz gotta eat, we gotta live, yo |
|
We all gotta eat and gotta live |

|
Talib Kweli: |
|
We remain, hotter than the blue part of the flame |
|
I got a glock in my brain |
|
that baffle weapons inspections like Saddam Hussein |
|
and rocks with the impact |
|
Gettin beat with socks filled with ten-packs of tokens |
|
Men's backs get broken when I get open |
|
Words more than spoken |
|
Most of dem MC's on the first thing smokin |
|
Leavin town at the same time causin traffic on the interstate |
|
We stay droppin classics cause the key word is innovate |
|
These cats is so plastic that we call 'em laminated |
|
Tried to duplicate the style quickly got frustrated |
|
More desperate than dudes who search people's ashtrays for clips |
|
I burn MC's like Coca-Cola through the paint on your whip |
|
Shit! My rhymes is like a magnifyin glass |
|
When I shine my light through it, I burn up everything in my path |
|
Last Dragon like Lee-roy (sho' nuff) rock for the b-boy |
|
My rhymes are so sharp you catch cuts that key-loid |
|
Destroyed the decoy, most of y'all d-boy, my culture |
|
It's not that I hate, y'all just p-noid cause y'all fake |
|
Embarassed and ashamed and don't know where to put the blame |
|
And never hesitate to call out my name! |
|
I ain't effected by the negative |
|
It's the Reflection and we dealin with the positive |
|
It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give |
|
It's the Reflection kid |
|
Never gotta look between the lines to get the messages |
|
You're too sensitive, checkin out our references |
|
The turntable and microphone specialist |
|
It's the Reflection kid, it's the Reflection kid |
|
It's the Reflection kid, like that like that |
