The Perfect Beat (Amended Version) - Talib Kweli KRS-One[00:00:02]
Talib this is crazy yo this is crazy[00:00:10]
Hah what'chu doing[00:00:15]
Throw your hands up c'mon[00:00:21]
BK to BX and every place in between it's all 7-18 like[00:00:25]
Grand concourse whassup[00:00:31]
We got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh yo[00:00:34]
So what'chu got 9's and tecs[00:00:37]
You no threat It's the beat[00:00:39]
How you get your cake don't matter[00:00:40]
It takes heart the lyrics been replaced with the swagger[00:00:42]
I stay sharp enough to slash your face like a dagger[00:00:45]
The actors been replaced with the rappers[00:00:48]
The rappers been replaced with the actors[00:00:50]
See how they try to stay on the beat the pig[00:00:52]
Route when he walking down the street to the beat[00:00:54]
Woop sound of da police[00:00:56]
What is the life of a true hip-hopper the beats[00:00:59]
Peace love unity living proper with the beats[00:01:02]
In any endeavor whatever we will prosper with our beats[00:01:05]
Some cats are real other are impostors with beats[00:01:08]
We the realest livest the rawest[00:01:10]
Survivors with beats[00:01:14]
We avoided the cops we focused on beets[00:01:15]
Spitting all we saw was stacks of rhymes written elite[00:01:18]
Way too smart for the system of course[00:01:22]
We know a smart free black man just pisses 'em off[00:01:25]
What they like is when we glisten and gloss[00:01:28]
Flashing millions but still taking a loss[00:01:30]
Bump the beat yeah all in the street[00:01:32]
Talib yo I think it's 'bout time to speak[00:01:35]
Word[00:01:38]
Watch me take it there life ain't no christmas there[00:01:39]
Hell yeah it's crystal clear when kweli and kris is here[00:01:41]
Searching for the perfect beat I went to east dayt'[00:01:44]
It's crazy and fugazi how they slaves to they release date[00:01:46]
They try to look away they're scared to look inside[00:01:49]
Asking why like a guy who look for god up in the sky[00:01:52]
Searching high and low behind the doing inside the drawer[00:01:55]
Little did he know that the beat was trying to find a flow[00:01:57]
Stuck in limbo how low can you go[00:02:00]
A punched hole through your stomach lining like tylenol[00:02:02]
Build all kind of rolled metaphors and similies[00:02:05]
That'll have you doubting my competitor's abilities[00:02:08]
My whole body is a spiritual facility[00:02:11]
Rock a vest after a lyrical killing spree[00:02:13]
The illest delivery later for the talk we need action[00:02:15]
Silence is golden but the violence is platinum[00:02:18]
When you rapping to the beat[00:02:20]
Boom bap who's that[00:02:21]
KRS-one bring the beat back[00:02:24]
The perfect beat we seek that knowledge of mind we speak that[00:02:26]
We don't speak weak crap over weak tracks[00:02:30]
Move that we speak boom bap live in the club[00:02:32]
We can show and prove that[00:02:36]
It ain't old school or new school it's true school rap[00:02:37]
Beat you 'til you're blue and black true dat[00:02:40]
It's better beat win again work the street[00:02:42]
Moving again insert the heat[00:02:44]
Looking again for the perfect beat[00:02:45]
Don't look in the book to learn to eat[00:02:46]
Write up a hook learn to speak[00:02:48]
Never be shook follow the heat[00:02:49]
Forever they look weak[00:02:51]
TK you must speak[00:02:52]
Teaching 'em how to eat to live they cheap[00:02:53]
And their pimp is pleading the fifth[00:02:55]
Bleeding as if they going to war[00:02:56]
Everytime they leaving the crib[00:02:57]
Sneakers and whips police be peeping the strip[00:02:58]
You see 'em walking the beat[00:03:00]
Believing the pimps who eating the shrimps[00:03:01]
So John's walking the street[00:03:03]
Looking for a sweet face in each case[00:03:04]
Trying to get they heartbeat racing and the dark meat be tasting[00:03:06]
So delicious my description so good to the beat[00:03:09]
It's lifted right from the sounds that you hear in the hood when you sleep[00:03:12]
Bring the beat back[00:03:15]
All that whackness we don't need that[00:03:17]
You gotta bring the beat back[00:03:20]
All that whack garbage we don't need that[00:03:22]
Bring the beat back all that weakness we don't need that[00:03:24]
