Talib Kweli - Reset Button lyrics

[Verse One: XV] I could have been that guy, that'll drive, 5 hours out to TX Just to get some work, ain't no telling where I'm gonna be next Out there doing dirt, now my momma need a Kleenex Could have been me, I hit the reset Still, the meals from a deal leave me appealed Out for Will Smith money that I can leave in my will My n***a Kareem in jail, I hope he get his appeals That's a reset bu*ton for real And I'm still Seeing the gla** half full, they notice it Eviction notices, soon as I put my two week notice in My boss working like, "I hope that you blow up then" If not I hit the reset bu*ton...go again Scared of your goals, cause what if you don't achieve it So college is where you go, but one day you got to leave it The Grim Reapers feeling, one day, you're going to meet it So just live everyday like that day you're going to see it Me and this dude I knew well Skipping school, trying to be cool Two losers so we're rolling up two l's Never got on board to our dreams going into full sail So you know what to do well [Hook] Just hit the reset bu*ton Hit the reset bu*ton Just hit the reset bu*ton Hit the reset bu*ton [Verse Two: Talib Kweli] My rhymes make you pay attention like you're Ritalin There's a thin line between a savage and a gentleman I never tire, hit the road like a Michelin And if I stop, then I begin again Making a profit because I'm cutting out the middleman I'm giving him a ticket because he's loitering and littering He got the game messed up All twisted and contorted, so it's more important who you consider fam I used to want a deal But now I want my freedom These industry motherf**ers, I don't f**ing need 'em Matter of fact, they need me The problem with their business model deeper than the scratches on your CD I see these rappers still sleeping, I call them Ambien Consider me a beast, the epitome of a champion This the World Series I'm Mr. October I hit the reset bu*ton and I start over [Hook]: Just hit the reset bu*ton Hit the reset bu*ton Just hit the reset bu*ton Hit the reset bu*ton [Verse Three: XV] Ex-girl tripping Next girl wishing that she could do everything that my ex-girl didn't My next girl trying to tell my next ex something They both got that reset bu*ton The first taste of fame I splurged on a chain, like a 1,000 DVDs and a car in my name A bunch of friends, a bunch of haters, it all is the same Once I watch it all go...never saw when it came Dang But I don't wanna get into that Thinking back to my crew when I first started spitting raps Drugs put us up and real stuff, I wish it didn't black Reset and let me get it back My son growing up Seeing him calling me daddy Through all the opposition I can still look at him proudly And tell him all the things I wouldn't be without him Brought those sunny days out me when they swore it would be cloudy Can't wait to tell him stories about, me and his mother And how I'd only reset to get his twin brother What would he have to like? I wonder But live's good, I never want another And never hit the reset bu*ton [Hook]: Just hit the reset bu*ton Hit the reset bu*ton Just hit the reset bu*ton Hit the reset bu*ton
