Soul Rebels Lyrics - Talib Kweli

(Kweli) 

We do not (under no circumstances) live for Hip-Hop (Hip-Hop) 

It lives for us 

we don't live for Hip-Hop (Hip-Hop), it lives for us (repeat 3x) 

It's the eternalist, y'all burn to this, blaze da dro' 

Soul rebels trap up, we got a long way to go 

Before this here blow like a volcano 

we get eternal, this is what you waitin' for, 

you try to front and play the role 

When you more like a pimp who pay the ho 

With my name up in your mouth like fellatio 

I lace the flow on purpose even up the ratio 

Of Hip-Hop to that shit they drop on the radio 

Underground classics is what they used to say before 

Now we break the surface quiet like an alligator nose 

They hate it, cuz they know if they don't get it, then they may be slow 

We still gonna blow like the horn played by Horatio 

The stakes is three feet high and risin' like De La Soul 

So I got Wonder Why, my man Dave and Maseo 

We all got babies so we embrace the taste of dough 

But y'all already know so I ain't gotta say no mo' 

(, Maseo)

De La is whatcha need, Reflection is whatcha need 

We got the masters of the ceremonies, 

blessin' emcees lip professin' emcees 

From LI to Brooklyn to Cinncinnati, Hi-Tek and Kweli got this on lock D 

Let me hear you scream out loud if you're somebody 

Party to party, body to body, 

when we come into the jam we do it wildstyle 

(Posdnous) 

Yo! I'm homegrown for the bain, once I rock the mic plain 

It's the extravaganza we glad you came, 

made only for them heads, it's infra-red Aim 

For such a world figure, we got figures to gain 

(don't sleep on a nigga) 

I ain't Icabod Crane get that ass cooked hard cuz we raw like Kane 

Been known to mic spit, infinite per frame 

While these girls throw me plenty like jenny to jane 

Ain't some old school G poppin' memory lane, been on it future robotic 

Since the day I came 

If you don't know Plug Wonder Why is my name 

Most recognized leo with my size in mane, 

matter a fact track is simple and Plain, 

Cuz the complexities I freeze is too deep to detain, 

Reflect, Kwa-Tone Tek eternally in the game (and De La) oh fo' sho' 

We be shinin' the same

(Dave) 

Y'all think these challengers is here to make a man fold 

Shoot I've been holdin' these joints since I was yea old 

Came to confirm the fact that I've been on the payroll 

Stay cold til one day make it hot and fade old 

Continue til I'm dyin, rottin' out gray and old 

I told them fool before they pass they have to pay toll 

While I've been sittin' at the table eatin' steak whole, side of greens 

Baby yams you know it stay soul, pre-natal, 

But they want to come spit your way so, 

so was I supposed to go and say no, 

Right emcees some walking straight, some take the gay stroll 

I get my man to clamp they asses like they staples 

I'm from LI we take it far as out as naples 

And scrape hoes who'll be willing to take clothes off (off) 

See once you bet it all against reflects eternal, 

you lose every rapper on a dept 

Y'all need to pay ya dues
