[Talib Kweli] Yes, original rhythm, the drum beater Hi-Tek in the house, Kweli in the house Yo!
"No matter where you're from I will always be in your corner" Yeah, New York to California The way we do it is fluid just like water "No matter where you're from I will always be in your corner" Life got a way of sneaking up on ya The way we do it is fluid just like water
C'mon, beat on the drum like bang-bang and tryna maintain the same frame of mind while the game change I know you sick of the same thing, we're different so stop sticking the needle up in the same vein The definition of insane, my theory is Big Bang We hunting for big game, the quick changeover got the rappers confused, Tek back on the board Kweli is back in the booth, let's go!
"No matter where you're from I will always be in your corner" That's right, we back again You can like rap again You can say that again, word "No matter where you're from I will always be in your corner" That's right, we back again You can like rap again You can say that again You can say that again
It's independent hustle, it got me on my grind I flex my pen like a muscle and write a battle rhyme I got to exercise, I got to get the ghosts out I got to testify, the legend never die I'm connected to the struggle, got a little light and this little light of mine I'm bout to let it shine I get better with time So right when you about to say something real slick you like never mind I stay grounded like airplanes that never fly I still never come down, I'm forever high My addiction is American as Devil's Pie We stay where the snitches live and the rebels die Men and women might try, numbers never lie But I'm too fluid, there's no unit that I'm measured by The nighttime when the ghetto come alive and the artificial die like Yellow No. 5
"No matter where you're from I will always be in your corner" That's right, we back again You can like rap again You can say that again, word "No matter where you're from I will always be in your corner" That's right, we back again You can like rap again You can say that again
Don't it sound African how the voice and the track just blend The hands get to clapping and, the feet get to tapping and The power I'm tapping into, it never was accidental In fact, what a rap ascension to what make Hip Hop so special You check my Hip Hop credentials, I'm on like I'm rap's potential It's what I've been sent to do, the task is monumental These wack emcees make me laugh like Comedy Central Rappers be acting gassed, it's really not a big issue They'll lose their bodily tissue, cause something hot just hit you Just for waving off the nigga tryna politic with you He's like I gotta get him to try to politic with him Man he tried to front, that's what he want when these shots hit him Bet you he change his mind, better learn how to read the danger signs Try to take my spot, get a number, wait in line Try to skip, no, get to the back again Yeah, we back again, you can like rap again, word
"No matter where you're from I will always be in your corner" That's right, we back again You can like rap again You can say that again, word "No matter where you're from I will always be in your corner" That's right, we back again You can like rap again You can say that again
