Hostile Gospel Pt 1 - Talib Kweli[00:00:00]

Deliver us deliver us (Yeah)[00:00:01]

Deliver us deliver us (What Yeah)[00:00:03]

And what the people say We wanna live it up[00:00:10]

And what the people want Please deliver us[00:00:13]

And what the people need Hey [00:00:16]

I got that yeah[00:00:20]

I call these rappers baby seals cause they club you to death[00:00:21]

I could call 'em Navy SEALs cause they government feds[00:00:24]

What become of the vets They drugged up they f**ked up they in debt[00:00:27]

There ain't no love and no respect it's like a gang it's like a club or a set[00:00:31]

Hip-Hop's the new WWF[00:00:34]

What do you rap or do you wrestle Niggas love to forget[00:00:35]

We got til it's gone you think you on you still hustlin backwards[00:00:38]

Your topical norm a tropical storm it's a f**kin disaster[00:00:41]

Back to the topic we on it all started at Rawkus[00:00:44]

They couldn't find the words to describe me so they resort to the shortcuts[00:00:47]

Is he a backpacker Is he a mad rapper [00:00:50]

An entertainer or the author of the last chapter [00:00:53]

We living in these times of love and cholera[00:00:55]

Synonymous with the apocalypse look up the clouds is ominous[00:00:58]

We got maybe ten years left say meteorologists shit[00:01:01]

We still waitin for the Congress to acknowledge this [00:01:04]

What the people want Please deliver us[00:01:06]

We wanna live it up please deliver us[00:01:09]

Th-th-this is the th-th-this is the this is the hostile gospel[00:01:13]

I'm reaching through the fire - please deliver us[00:01:17]

I'm preaching to the choir - please deliver us[00:01:20]

Just keep it real with us you scared to spill your blood[00:01:23]

Your words rung hollow we need someone to follow[00:01:26]

You ain't promised tomorrow so get your paper up[00:01:28]

You can't always just borrow and asks for favors bruh[00:01:31]

Stand on your own two never covet thy neighbor's stuff[00:01:34]

Karma's a bitch so watch your mouth and what you sayin bruh[00:01:36]

I start a conversation based on general observation[00:01:39]

Hip-Hop is not a nation take it to population[00:01:42]

Niggas got a lot to say when locked inside the belly of Satan[00:01:45]

Awaitin trial debatin how the hell I got placed in this system[00:01:47]

Am I a victim or just a product of indoctrination [00:01:50]

They exploit it and use me like a movie with product placement[00:01:53]

You hear the congregation; this is the hostile gospel[00:01:56]

The truth is hard to swallow it'll leave you scarred tomorrow[00:01:58]

Keep it honest our motto these niggas keep it bottled[00:02:01]

I'm the writer who reach the fighters like speeches by Cus D'Amato[00:02:04]

DJs stickin to vinyl like "F**k Serato"[00:02:07]

Suppliers who ride around the block in the custom autos[00:02:10]

Ballin like the struck the lotto you know who the cleanest is[00:02:12]

A nigga keep it reeich with the stitch and greedy geniuses[00:02:15]

I'm not a hipster but I flip it like a sneaker pimp[00:02:17]

Expose the game treat it like a bitch[00:02:20]

Smack fire out these hoes cause they snitch and tap wires while I plead the fifth[00:02:22]

You can't trust a soul in the biz so be careful who you eatin with[00:02:26]

And sleepin with and also who you chiefin with[00:02:29]

You never know they might've added in secret ingredients[00:02:31]

What the people want Please deliver us[00:02:34]

We wanna live it up please deliver us[00:02:36]

Th-th-this is the th-th-this is the this is the hostile gospel[00:02:41]

I'm reaching through the fire - please deliver us[00:02:45]

I'm preaching to the choir - please deliver us[00:02:47]

Just keep it real with us you scared to spill your blood[00:02:50]

Your words rung hollow we need someone to follow[00:02:53]

Freedom's a road that's seldom traveled watch hell unravel[00:02:56]

Right before the eyes of the soldier who fell in battle[00:02:59]

The single mother who raised her daughter to bear the sacred water[00:03:01]

And not take the hand of every man who make a offer[00:03:04]

To black kids wishin they white kids when they close they eyelids[00:03:06]

Like "I bet they neighborhood ain't like this"[00:03:09]

White kids wishin they black kids and wanna talk like rappers[00:03:12]

It's all backwards it's identity crisis[00:03:15]

The industry inside us is vipers with fangs trying to bite us[00:03:17]

Drug suppliers is the health care providers[00:03:20]

We cakin makin narcotics outta household products[00:03:21]

We ain't workin out 'til we exorcise the demons that's inside us[00:03:25]

Plus they seem to just provide us with enough rope to hang ourselves[00:03:28]

Enough dope to slang ourselves enough toast to bang ourselves[00:03:32]

It's officially nigga season these niggas is bleedin[00:03:34]

That's why I'm spittin freedom we had enough of trigger squeezin[00:03:37]

What the people want Please deliver us[00:03:39]

We wanna live it up please deliver us[00:03:42]

Th-th-this is the th-th-this is the this is the hostile gospel[00:03:45]

I'm reaching through the fire - please deliver us[00:03:50]

I'm preaching to the choir - please deliver us[00:03:53]

Just keep it real with us you scared to spill your blood[00:03:56]

Your words rung hollow we need someone to follow[00:03:59]

In these tryin days and times[00:04:01]

All I need is to be free[00:04:03]

I can't do it on my own[00:04:06]

Lord can you deliver me [00:04:08]

There are trials still to come[00:04:11]

It's salvation that I need[00:04:14]

So I'm reachin to the sky[00:04:17]

Lord can you deliver me [00:04:19]

Deliver us [00:04:22]

Deliver us yeah[00:04:25]

Deliver us ohhhhhhhhhh[00:04:27]

Oh deliver us[00:04:31]
