NY Weather Report (Amended Version) - Talib Kweli[00:00:00]

Come on yeah[00:00:07]

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everybody[00:00:11]

Who been ridin' with me so far[00:00:14]

It's been a long journey[00:00:16]

But they say your life's path is not about the destination [00:00:19]

It's all about the journey[00:00:21]

I appreciate y'all[00:00:23]

It's my blood sweat tears years of struggle love hate fear[00:00:25]

New York City you can make it here you can make it anywhere[00:00:30]

I came prepared for the rain hail sleet snow[00:00:34]

Whatever the weather we ride let my people go[00:00:38]

To the place where knowledge is born[00:00:40]

We walkin' in the third eye of the storm check it out[00:00:42]

Futuristic lyricist straight from the renaissance[00:00:45]

Top of the supper chain rap's upper echelons[00:00:48]

My people sufferin' slave to another chain[00:00:50]

This voyage is maiden like my mother other name[00:00:53]

Is this your first trip to hell We venture capitalists[00:00:55]

If it's a product then we got it for sale[00:00:58]

When I first started to spell my words fell into rhymes[00:01:00]

Turned into songs everything else fell into line[00:01:03]

I painted pictures you could see the people bleed in my bars[00:01:05]

When I was a teen I was mean about to reach for the stars[00:01:08]

So if I fell I fell right in the cloud tighten the valve[00:01:10]

Niggas is watered down used to be no bitin' allowed[00:01:13]

Now they gangstas no cryin' allowed[00:01:15]

You probably see a fight on the stage before you see a fight in the crowd[00:01:17]

I send this out to my people facin' the storm homey we ridin' it out[00:01:20]

You inspire what I'm writin' about[00:01:24]

It's my blood sweat tears years of struggle love hate fear[00:01:25]

New York City you can make it here you can make it anywhere[00:01:30]

I came prepared for the rain hail sleet snow[00:01:34]

Whatever the weather we ride let my people go[00:01:38]

To the place where knowledge is born[00:01:41]

We walk into the third eye of the storm check it out[00:01:43]

It's the third eye of the storm[00:01:47]

It's the third eye of the storm[00:01:49]

It's the third eye of the storm[00:01:51]

It's the third eye of the storm[00:01:54]

Check it out (ha ha ha ha)[00:01:56]

Check it out (ha ha ha ha)[00:01:58]

Check it out (ha ha ha)[00:02:01]

We ain't f**kin around (uh uh)[00:02:05]

I'm not a judge but I'm handin' out sentences[00:02:06]

For political prisoners and regular inmates with no visitors[00:02:08]

Niggas in the street outside the reach of the ministers[00:02:11]

Not those that say "spiritual " but actual partitioners[00:02:14]

Rap listeners who be openin' Black businesses[00:02:16]

This underground sh*t with samples that lack clearances[00:02:19]

Once you get past appearances you can tell whose sh*t is fake[00:02:21]

Or whose sh*t is based on past experience[00:02:25]

You really been to war hand to hand like crack sales[00:02:26]

Building man to man they tryna kill off the black male[00:02:29]

Females left to raise up her son from the day he was one[00:02:32]

Til he twenty and he raise up a gun[00:02:35]

And get to blazin' for his place in the sun[00:02:37]

The smoke grazin' his lung young in his years and he facin' a ton[00:02:38]

None of his peers wanna share the role of child care provider[00:02:42]

But they'll hit a ni**a blunt and share saliva[00:02:44]

You ain't a rider and you hustlin' backwards[00:02:47]

Too many equate success with imitating these crackers[00:02:49]

So our kids lookin' up to drug dealers and rappers[00:02:52]

We takin' all the work away from the Black actors[00:02:54]

Revelation is first and Armageddon is after[00:02:57]

Tsunamis and hurricanes natural disasters[00:02:59]

The fast food culture speed is always a factor[00:03:02]

Instant gratification they want the catch faster[00:03:04]

It's my blood sweat tears years of struggle love hate fear[00:03:07]

New York City you can make it here you can make it anywhere[00:03:12]

I came prepared for the rain hail sleet snow[00:03:16]

Whatever the weather we ride let my people go[00:03:20]

To the place where knowledge is born[00:03:23]

We walk into the third eye of the storm check it out[00:03:24]

It's the third eye of the storm[00:03:28]

It's the third eye of the storm[00:03:30]

It's the third eye of the storm[00:03:33]

It's the place where knowledge is born[00:03:35]

Check it out (ha ha ha ha)[00:03:37]

Check it out (ha ha ha ha)[00:03:40]

Check it out (ha ha ha)[00:03:42]

Talib Kweli[00:03:45]

That's what it is break it down[00:03:46]

Paranorm I perform through a storm[00:03:51]
