Going Hard - Talib Kweli[00:00:00]
Written by:Talib Kweli Greene/H. Charlemagne/Corey Smyth[00:00:01]
I got a part to play[00:00:17]
We going hard these days[00:00:18]
F**k the harder way[00:00:20]
We doing it the smarter way[00:00:21]
To my God I pray[00:00:23]
That's how I start my day[00:00:24]
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today[00:00:25]
I say the sh*t these people ain't got the heart to say[00:00:28]
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way[00:00:31]
To my god I pray that's how I start my day[00:00:34]
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today[00:00:37]
You say you never scared there's kids[00:00:40]
In other countries[00:00:42]
Making jerseys jeans[00:00:42]
And sneakers they could never wear[00:00:43]
Parents never there they're busy[00:00:45]
Building homes they can't afford to buy[00:00:46]
Cars they can't afford to drive[00:00:48]
Working jobs that don't support their life[00:00:49]
You busy screaming gangsta[00:00:51]
Gangsta all that talk is trife[00:00:53]
You already know lost the fight[00:00:54]
If you don't know the cost of life[00:00:56]
These kids is forced to fight[00:00:57]
A war they can't outrun[00:00:58]
Ain't got no shoes but got a gun[00:00:59]
Now where the f**k he pulled that out from[00:01:01]
People ask me how we wearing diamonds[00:01:03]
When there's little kids in Sierra Leone[00:01:05]
Losing arms for crying while they mining[00:01:06]
Probably an orphan who's momma died of AIDS[00:01:08]
He built a coffin working often but he never paid[00:01:11]
Forever slaving in the world that's forever cold[00:01:14]
Becoming the man of the house at 11 years old[00:01:17]
This reality rap I get inside the mentality that[00:01:19]
Terrorize you like a cowardly act[00:01:23]
Come on[00:01:25]
I got a part to play we going hard these days[00:01:25]
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way[00:01:28]
To my God I pray that's how I start my day[00:01:31]
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today[00:01:34]
I say the sh*t these people ain't got the heart to say[00:01:37]
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way[00:01:40]
To my god I pray that's how I start my day[00:01:43]
The bullets starts to spray the what[00:01:45]
I was sold to a sick European by a rich African battlin'[00:01:47]
Middle Passages I can't go back again[00:01:51]
Battlin' years of denied history lies and mysteries[00:01:53]
Wives with misty eyes watchin' their husbands be beaten viciously[00:01:57]
Battle in the wilderness of North America[00:02:00]
Run by the river only stoppin' to pray chased by predators[00:02:02]
Terrorists with etiquette who vote and kill their president[00:02:05]
Their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent[00:02:08]
Ain't no hesitation involved a nation dissolved[00:02:11]
While we sit back waitin' to evolve[00:02:14]
Those who would trade in their freedom[00:02:16]
For their protection deserve neither[00:02:17]
Not a name not tradition[00:02:19]
Religion you learn Jesus[00:02:21]
Turn the other cheek[00:02:22]
In herit the Earth just stay meek[00:02:23]
F**k the way you speak[00:02:25]
Try to run we chop off your feet[00:02:26]
Fast forward to 2004 we selling[00:02:28]
Yo this ain't what I'm settling for[00:02:30]
I want more yo[00:02:33]
I got a part to play[00:02:34]
We going hard these days[00:02:36]
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way[00:02:37]
To my god I pray that's how I start my day[00:02:40]
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today[00:02:43]
I say the sh*t these people ain't got the heart to say[00:02:45]
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way[00:02:48]
To my god I pray that's how I start my day[00:02:51]
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today[00:02:54]
