Talib Kweli - HICKORY lyrics

[Hook] Oh my god what the f** oh my god it's all love Sometimes we do it for the kids other times we gotta do it for us Somebody always wanna tell you you ain't doing enough But if you listen to everybody you'll be looking all crazy and f**ed up [Verse 1: KOOL A.D.] Every one is stupid, every one is dumb Shout out to the moon, shout out to the sun Peace to the ocean and sh**. Pacific, specifically But it's all the same ocean literally Dog I'm greased up haters can't stick to me Rollin' even if you can't picture me Sticky green leaves, p**y smell victory See me sittin' on the dock—hickory Never really f** with f**ery or dickery Shout to Amaze 88 My grace slicker than Jefferson's Airplane, Starship, whatever mane Stick with what's in front of me until I see a better plan See me on Conan, next time Letterman If not like I said "whatever man" [Hook] [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] Hickory dickory dock These haters want my victory stopped Wish you would flock These hits they consider me pop My rapport with the fans more complicated than a mystery plot My future brighter than your sisters reebok's From uptown make you duck down like KRS used to f** it duck down like Dru-Ha Crush wild cuz you softer than a loofa Black plus a watch still a rock thats a trutha Reconzie the real homie you don't look too familiar My familia we be hanging like mothaf**in Mr.Cooper Never the ku klux n***as is important like a black man with a new tux Cuz they sellin out for a few bux Got this sh** backwards like one girl two cups When it comes to these rhymes who do you trust? Im here forever f** a buzzer, I ain't a crew cut [Hook] [Verse 2: Boots Riley] Full cup pasificts, drank tenacity Hustle till the sundance not Butch Ca**idy I am a revolver semi-automactically Yelling "f** the police" quiet emphatically Light the flames of the gasoline dreams In flicker of the fire is power never seen There's a hope for better dreams Selling coke from Medellín Tagging names on the wall and I hope each letter sings I write with lead pipes and hammers Words are my weapons and I better not stammer Proving this is science and action is better Shut down the city you can beat it like a banner Campaigns reversed by champagne and cursive Got pain in our purses, bartenders and nurses You motherf**ers nervous when we put them out of service Call security with curses cuz we taking what our worth is [Hook]
