Talib Kweli - 2012 BET CYPHERS lyrics

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul] I'm decent but I'm despicable, spittin' the inexplicable Pickin' stems out the piccolo, tickle your brain ventricles They finally let the nerd with the swag in I was playin' the background like an adlib But now I'm greedy like a fat kid Old lady don't blow my high Cause my pants hang low and you can't see my eyes I get faded like Smokey but I'm crazy with the motif Eatin' rappers, I need mo' teeth, you think I'm obese Movin' with the movement, you don't need no lease So fly, I don't need no feet, how I run it? Keefin' up, when I'm coolin' with my young'ns You know I keep it 3hunna Can't take it lower, I used to loiter, these days I need a lawyer Call your employer, tell him Soulo on the market I love Indo but Do-Dawg love endorsements I was never into Porches or Polo Horses More like Nibiru's orbit, ascension in Pyramid coffins It's safe to say I'm thinkin' in a major way I reckon you take your exit and make your way out Its my time, not Morris Day's now The more the days go by, the more I'm reminded that I'm a Titan If there was ever, whats pressure to a diamond? I'm the Haile Sela**ie of rhyming Ab-Soul [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] You spit dummy, I get money like Clark Howard BET, lemme show you black star power It's funny they want me to spit When really they never play me though On the real, the alternative is what you hear on the radio Fashion designer rappers Wanna climb back inside of their Mama's vaginas When pa**ionate rhymers become reminders, son You stay sleepin' on me, you soft the Satin pajamas, son My hood is like the jungle with lions packin' the llama's From Vandavere's to Gowan*s, I'm so notorious Fightin' my way back to Brooklyn like we the warriors Right in your face, ain't no life line for you to call on You simple like a pimple, you sort of an oxymoron I'm graceful as Jordan with the fade-away Write a pa**age as painful as circumcision with a razor blade I stay open cause I'm better with words I'm Frank Ocean at a Chik-Fil-A, I'll never get served [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar] If I said I'd be doing this at 16, would you believe me? Or see me to be just the innocent Kendrick, you seen in the street With a basketball and some Now and Laters to eat I'm mashing all of my skeletons, would you jump in a seat Would you say my intelligence now is great relief? And it's safe to say that our next generation maybe can sleep With dreams of being a lawyer, a doctor Instead of a boy with a chopper that hold the culdesac hostage And do 'em all if they gossip Children on the corn', stay vandalizing the option Of living a lie, driving their bodies with toxics Constantly drinking and drive Hit the powder then watch the flames that arrive in his eyes Listen coward the concept is aim it, then bang it, then slide Out the b**h the deposit The prize on his head that tithes probably'll go to the projects I live inside the belly of the critics And Snoop pa**ed us the torch, I'm-ma burn you rappers with it What's up? [Verse 4: Childish Gambino] Still good with a pen, no Joe Paterno I count Ninja Turtles, my cash flow concern them Gambino you meet him, repping east side of the A hard Got the Black AMEX, I gotta pull the race card n***as move that Kreayshawn, naw I don't carry mine Why the game f**ed up like my hairline Ay girl, you ever smoke a bowl out with Kid Cudi?
