Talib Kweli - Time Is Right lyrics

"Well I'm impressed most of all with the serene mood. A lack of comprehen..." {"I can dig it man, right on right on! I know what'chu sayin baby. These folks that come here, have invested, a lot of credit In havin a - fine time, when the time is right - baby."} ("WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT!") Yeah, the time is right for me to find a mic The crowd is tight, the lab ac' ain't workin right But I'm a get it done, even if we gotta fight I ain't goin out like that, no not tonight Yo let me get a mic check This my prayer for y'all n***az cause the game ain't got no life left Came in with Mos Def and Hi-Tek And that's my family dawg, they might catch the last gasp of my breath And rest in peace to my n***a Dilla My mind into real estate like a bigger villa Your rhymes are cheaper than gas in Jersey Before you leave the state you know you got to fill up Matter fact, put your schwag back, cause I got the realest If not the k**er then I ain't smokin I'm not buyin off the street or be askin 'em what kind you growin You can't flush it is cause the kind is floatin Kids be eyein totin open defyin mothers that's cryin oceans It's Sin City without the Clive Owen I keep it fresh, these rappers staler than a big of chips you findin open Let's take our time and, have a silent moment It's like I'm jokin, I get 'em open like multiple lines are snorted They snortin I'm spittin flames; n***a the flow'll blowtorch ya I'm on fire so they always try to put me out Flatbush all day but they don't know what my hood about I'm so good without your props and accolades Crackin like whips on the back of slaves, spittin on the master's grave I'm tighter than 'yette's braids, y'all n***az are "Tenderheaded" Just cause I ain't you as my friend yet, then forget it SHEESH! Y'all n***az are sensitive That's really me on that sh**, not a representative Nuttin pretend or fake, many came and went, tryin to imitate That's the quickest way to disintegrate It's cause I innovate, my sh** hardly a**imilate Still I'm bringin "SexyBack" like Timbaland and Timberlake I don't stop, I never hesitate Plus it don't start 'til I arrive and so I'm never late The time is right get it straight The time is right get it straight... c'mon! I'm so slick it's slide when you ride with it Like the Y kitted, do or die with it like the Stuy in it Fly with it, +Do or Die+ with like the Chi in it Live the life of Riley like my n***a from Guy, sh**...
