[Intro] Yeah, this that new Kweli I'mma give it to you before the bootleggers get hold of It You know what I'm sayin'? I figure I put it out first, make some money wit' it Why not, right? Okay, 1-2 [Verse] Yo I'm Brooklyn like the '90s Brownsville and Bushel keep it grimey When I'm from flatbush that's where you'll find me In Brooklyn, Tek wit' Justin and Sadat And Free and Sid from ??? Always catch me wit' Juju and Rubiks, we was truant kids Dollar band nooseses Jump bell, run, and never look back Mr. Man kept the hammer in his bookbag Rubiks introduced me to Black and Forte DJ Enuff on Avenue K I go back a long way Wit' Super Nat in Washington Square freestylin' everyday Peformin' at Lyricists' Lounge who ate off Jean Grae f**in' wit' Mood is how I met Hi-Tek Black Star came in effect when Elijah gave my tape to Mos Def Reflection Eternal was next on deck My crew the best and we proved it We knew our music was the Vanguard of a movement Every Rawkus release was bangin', they on the come up They was like f** the radio 'til Pharoahe said "Get the f** up" Flex listened, jabbin' at Bryant The next position was right about now we need the Radio hit written While I hit the road On tour to support the records since the day it was sold Corey had me followin' the example of De La Soul Common and The Roots to me these the sickest n***as Get my figures wit' the Okayplayers and the Spitkickers Rawkus got a deal with MCA, this the gray area The letters stand for Music Cemetery of America They tried to fool you by switchin' the name to Geffen Now they Interscope's b**h and every artist who had a chance left 'em Ain't no big surprise, wasn't no love there Jimmy Iovine never signed me, I just kinda ended up there But f** that, literally it was my way or the highway Hit the road with the Beastie Boys and toured Europe with Kanye Gotta thank 'em for the love on the album I knew out on "Electric Circus" He'd get it by any means necessary like Malcolm I dropped a single, shot a video, took control of my situation Got a label poppin', it's a celebration (b**hes) Yo boy Free I had to get out I put you on, that's where I'm at right about now [Hook] And if you're sayin' it's my time, you right about now This what's goin' through my mind right about now Hey yo, hey yo, it's time to write about now And if you lookin' you can find it right about now I put you on, that's where I'm at right about now This what's goin' through my mind right about now Yo, hey yo, it's time to write about now And if you lookin' you can find it right about now [Outro: Dave Chappelle {*DJ cutting*}] That's right b**hes, Talib Kweli One of the baddest motherf**ers you've ever seen That's right b**hes, Talib Kweli You're now rockin' with the best!
