Madlib - The Show lyrics

[Intro] Five something in the morning going on six It's daylight, sunrise time Time to free yo'self, free your soul, free your mind Ladies, free that a**, yeah Coast to coast it's the most, we don't brag and boast We just leave 'em comatose It's your boy Talib Kweli [Verse 1] Yeah, flow is tight though I got a couple screws loose It's cuckoo, my rep in this game is bigger than Bruce Bruce Who you? Your name smaller than five grains of couscous It's the highest caliber, your caliber is deuce deuce Shoot, y'all n***as can't hang like a loose noose I get on stage, n***as in my ear like a Bluetooth And that's the triple truth Ruth, they lips is loose like The Señor Love Daddy in the bulletproof booth, kuff My rhymes is full of truth, and the business full of lies Try to look a Masai kid in his eyes for the flies And tell him how he f**ed up our environment daily The only thing we know about Africa is from Nas or Belly But go off like a Hutu or Tutsi, from Rwanda or Burundi Over drums like Babatunde Olatunji Saying n***a just to keep our teeth white, like Paul Mooney Fighting spiritual wars, like the Shi'ite or the Sunni Yo, our music went from tap dance to the lapdance Try to get me to sell out and that's a fat chance You see black faces in my rap pages Larry Davis, Angela Davis or Ossie Davis [Hook] Yeah, welcome to the show, it's Talib Kweli, so amazing Live from California it's the Madlib Invasion, let's go! [Verse 2] This exercise in freedom is called The Liberation I keep it fly by a process of elimination When it come to paying the kid, sometimes it's hesitation Til I make 'em check it in like they got reservations But there ain't no reservations about copping this Even though it's free for the people there ain't no stopping this Popping fresh, caking up, I'm breaking up the, monotonous flow That can't write or plant life like a botanist grow A new crop and just roll, it up, blow it out whoa Excuse the co*kiness though, I'm just showing out, no You can't go without this, now what'chu know about that? Now what'chu know about... now what'chu know about... {*to fade*}
