2000 Seasons Lyrics - Train Of Thought: Lost Lyrics, Rare Releases & Beautiful B-sides, Vol. 1 - Talib Kweli

Talib Kweli: 

Yeah Hi Tek... 

Whom do we aspire to reflect on peoples death 

Who's entertainment shall we sing our agony 

of our hopes 

That the destroyers aspiring to extinguish us will suddenly 

suffer remorse at the sight of their own fantastic success? 

The last imbecile to dream that dream is dead 

He was killed by the saviors of his own dream

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

Im not a human being into no spirtual shit, 

a Spiritual being manifested as a human that's it 

When I spit I spray thoughts that's representing my life 

Yo I step into the spot leave niggas open like mics 

Take on em on a tour 

Explore psychologies of war 

Things you can't imagine if you've never seen em before 

Shorties come back raw 

Straight out the c- 74 

I welcome them back to the world they think is run by laws 

The world is run by men who use laws for tools 

I come thru war tactics like Shaka Zulu 

Mcs is soft like play-doh 

I shape 'em 

smash em to pieces 

volunteer Slaves crave the words i'm painting 

The masterpieces 

You hear em on the radio babbling 

But the truth is traveling with the word 

As they're flying through the air like a javelin 

Unraveling like a verdict 

Pound it in your chest like a gavel in the highest court 

In Bablyon, let's travel on 

If the world is foul, and you think foul is how you got to live 

Then from the get your ass was foul 

And foul just is how you is 

No excuses see, life's dilemas are set up like a mirror 

Just to show you all your faces 

Now your clearer understanding is clearer 

You had your chance for revolution 

You let it pass you by 

That's why I'm dissing wack mc's till the day that I die 

Reflection getting you high 

We stand our ground with the believers 

The leaning tower of Pisa and the Pyramids of Giza 

No comparison 

The way I flip it is embarRassing 

Tis the season 

Ain't no caroling 

Photos 

All knowing 

Flowing like spring water in the desert 

Balling through the barren land 

Where niggas take a stand, like castles made of sand 

Free falling 

For anything 

Nothing but a plan to fail for they selves 

No sense of delf, needed daily affirmations of self help 

Yo it's right in front of yo grill stop looking everywhere else 

Speaking of planning, 

Hustling and scheming 

Looking for hookups 

Took up too much time 

Like a fiend for rocks that got cooked up 

God bless the child that got his own shit 

I got my team's 

So the fiends now become opponents 

They the opposition 

Stronger from competition 

Shining like a golden shower, your face i'm pissing in 

Completing a genocide mission like 

The Warren commission 

Like fathers was supposed to be missing 

While our sisters were supposed to be whoring 

Save it for a rainy day, money is pouring 

Under grey clouds, black butterflys still be soaring 

Flying in frienldy skies 

We classifying the highs 

Blood be flowing in the streets like crimson tide in my eyes 

Tye be having me drowsy 

But I get mellow with the chronic 

Intellectuals embarrasSed cause we discussing ebonics 

I'm on a roll like sonic 

In an age that the plague got bubonic proportions 

Yo I call it reparations, but they call it extortion 

Whatever 

Just give me mine 

But caution 

You've been warned for the very last time 

I'm not telling you again 

So relay it to your crew 

You gotta actually to do 

Forget the drive in, driveby and drive through 

You've got to 

Get out the car 

Humble yourself 

Tilt your head back, and look at the stars 

Shining over someplace very far, from where you standing 

When the night is clear 

You understanding just who put them there 

What you know about the space you get lost in 

Your peoples can't hear you in the distortion 

The desert is absorption 

And you sucked and you stuck off american freezing for like 

Upon your return from raping and crossbreeding 

Your own people accuse you of deceiving and misleading 

Causing mass confusion. Drug abusing 

Now you all caught up in institutions 

At this time you've got to break it down and be showing and proving 

An A&R told me that i use to many catch phrases 

true I'm trying to catch all my people in all different stages all 

different phases 

it's like that y'all...
