Right About Now Lyrics - Talib Kweli

[Intro] 

Yeah, this that new Kweli 

I'ma 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 

Fuckin' 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 fuck the radio 'til Pharoahe said "Get the fuck 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 niggaz 

Get my figures wit' the Okayplayers and the Spitkickers 

Rawkus got a deal with MCA, this the gray area 

But let it stir for Music Cemetery of America 

They tried to fool you by switchin' the name to Geffen 

Now they Interscope's bitch 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 fuck 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 (bitches) 

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
