Keynote Speaker Lyrics - Quality - Talib Kweli

A keynote speaker's about to come on now 

I just wanted to say a few words about him, 

and you all know who he is 

Talib Kweli 

Please, hold your applause 'til the end 

We are glad 

to come 

and hear you speak 

We love it! 

Kweli doesn't like me to talk about this but 

one time we were drivin' 

through the Mississippi Delta 

And there was a brotha runnin' up the side of the road 

And he didn't have any, shoes on 

He didn't have a, shirt on 

And I started to drive right by this man 

but Kweli said, "Stop the car, beause that brotha, might be in trouble" 

And I stopped the car 

Kweli said to the man, he said, 

"Brotha, are you OK? Do you need a ride somewhere?" 

And the man looked at Kweli and said, 

"Shhhh . . . I'm escapin'" 

And kweli took him by the hand and said, 

"My brotha, you didn't get the memo. We have been FREE, 

for some time now" 

Well, I'm windin' it up 

Please welcome, 

a good friend, scholar, ghetto philosopher, 

three time Nobel Peace Prize winner, 

first black man to pilot an air craft, 

the nigga that made up the Nike Swoosh, 

the man that made Kool Aid say, "Ohh Yea" 

Brooklyn's own, 

Talib Kweli
