Talib Kweli - Technicolor Easels lyrics

[Intro] You heard? I'm recording right now man but I'll hit you back, you heard Aight I'mma hit you back man Alright holla bruh [Verse 1] A real revolutionary fights for the people And before he writes the first movie he has to write the sequel Product of my environment, we are not equal I put prophecies in my book like [?] I done spent nights in the sky like a beetle Seeing all these guys in disguise full of evil I paint us a reality, all these technicolor easels And remember that the rats always know when they're with the weasels You self aware? Man you deceitful You want me to pull out the chair but I say the seat's full Give me the throne or give me the throne Give me the Jesus juice, give me the stone If any man do not condone then give me the chrome I own no grudge, I'm takin' care of Venice like Nina Simone And Argentina and Evita Peron Either leave me to roam or leave me alone [Hook] Cause it's not easy being me baby I just look at the life and I just see crazy Painting on technicolor easels You gotta think about we baby Instead of always talking bout me baby Painting on technicolor easels Cause it ain't easy [Verse 2] It's like I know we asking Bowie is there really life on Mars So we be writing these bars and realigning these stars Rhyming 'bout the grime, get yourself a shiny car Close but no dutch, only I can puff on my cigar They say this sh** is imminent so I'm channelling my grandpa Twisting up bowls while [?] Middle finger to black ops, the other finger to rat cops But keys open doors I got [?] I still bump [?] Enjoying paradise, they told me it don't last long So meanwhile I drive my [?] for you to snack on And I'm rappin' with my graduation cap off [Hook] Cause it ain't easy being me baby I just look at the life and I just see crazy Painting on technicolor easels Think about we baby Instead of always saying me baby Painting on technicolor easels
