Holy Moly (Amended Version) - Talib Kweli[00:00:00]
Yeah as a kid growin' up in Brooklyn[00:00:01]
My pops was a DJ he had a bunch of records[00:00:03]
Funk jazz rhythm and blues soul you know what I'm sayin' [00:00:05]
There was this one gospel record I liked like like[00:00:09]
Like holy moly I might get some religion and leave you holy holy[00:00:12]
Yeah this rhyme is so fat it's roly poly[00:00:16]
I give you intimate details so you can get to know me[00:00:19]
These corporate rappers like "Why this dude pickin' on me "[00:00:21]
You rap your way to the top but now it's gettin' lonely[00:00:24]
Kids is hungry and you lookin' like a steak from Nick & Tony's[00:00:26]
But don't nobody want your jewels 'cause your shit is phony[00:00:29]
Say word Your shit is real Damn your shit is corny[00:00:32]
Rhymes turn a new page like Mark Foley[00:00:35]
And touch kids like when Larry Clark gave the part to Chloe[00:00:37]
Rest in peace to Harold Hunter the greatest from New York[00:00:40]
Started out skatin' for Zoo York word[00:00:43]
Hangin' out at The Gavin I was very lucky[00:00:45]
To talk to Rash' once I got past Derek Dudley[00:00:47]
Got him on respiration that's pre-Badu[00:00:50]
Bet you Garnett Reid got a Matt Doo tattoo[00:00:52]
Sometimes I feel like I'm drownin' I gotta tread water[00:00:55]
Head above the water I always remember headquarters[00:00:58]
Heads up eyes open I got my mind focused[00:01:00]
I find hope inside a line my rhymes define opus[00:01:03]
Sometimes hopeless people fill my thoughts with evil[00:01:06]
My record so hard it broke the needle[00:01:08]
At the Mixtape Awards niggaz act like they don't give a f**k though[00:01:10]
And disrespect the legacy of Justo[00:01:14]
What the blood claat No let the blood flow[00:01:16]
You ain't come to pay your respect then what you come fo' [00:01:19]
Too many good niggaz die it's like a stop loss[00:01:22]
Hood niggaz ghetto like fried wings and hot sauce[00:01:24]
How you hard The cops lettin' 50 shots off[00:01:27]
Baby Jay-Z's with the knockoff Scott Storch beat[00:01:29]
You are not Short you are not Katt[00:01:32]
You're not a player or a pimp money stop that[00:01:35]
Learn to master your speech and be eloquent[00:01:37]
Rappers keep peddlin' sweets the beats weaker than gelatin[00:01:40]
We used to kick up dust now we settlin'[00:01:43]
Rest in peace to Dilla Weldon we can't forget you[00:01:45]
Professor X and Proof we miss you word[00:01:48]
Rest in peace to Shaka 21 gun salute[00:01:51]
In the air like blak blak blak[00:01:53]
You're still here 'cause you're livin' through me[00:01:56]
You're like a gift God has given to me what[00:01:58]
