Africa Dream (explicit) - Talib Kweli/Hi-Tek[00:00:00]
If you can talk you can sing[00:00:34]
If you can walk you can dance[00:00:35]
That's an old proverb from Zimbabwe[00:00:38]
You know what I mean [00:00:42]
If you can talk you can sing[00:00:44]
If you can walk you can dance[00:00:45]
Yeah and the trumpet is blown[00:00:48]
Yeah alright c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon[00:00:57]
Alright[00:01:07]
Yeah yeah yeah uh one more time[00:01:19]
Yo anybody can tell you how it is[00:01:31]
What we putting down right here is[00:01:34]
How it is and how it could be[00:01:35]
Reflection Eternal for real[00:01:38]
And with that[00:01:40]
These cats is no match[00:01:41]
Plus they lack a certain knack for rapping[00:01:41]
Chasing but they never catch the wagon[00:01:43]
Like rerunning what's hap'ning[00:01:45]
Since back when[00:01:45]
They had potty issues and snotty tissues [00:01:47]
We been rockin'[00:01:49]
Think you poppin' next year nobody will miss you[00:01:49]
My thoughts is too advanced[00:01:51]
For the artists on these labels[00:01:53]
They come sweeter than sabal[00:01:54]
And softer than mashed potatoes[00:01:55]
I tried to told you[00:01:56]
The rhymes run over emcees like Land Rovers[00:01:57]
Took 'em back in time like Sankofa Sankofa[00:01:59]
We stand over the Atlantic [00:02:02]
Looking broad like a man's shoulders[00:02:03]
The fire is trapped in a belly [00:02:04]
Ready to pop like canned soda[00:02:06]
We outlasting from middle passage [00:02:08]
Touched down in New York[00:02:09]
Cincinnatay Big Ohio status what you thought[00:02:10]
Money it's classic[00:02:12]
These bastards try to treat us like cattle[00:02:13]
So life has been a constant battle battle[00:02:15]
Rising above the crabs in the barrel[00:02:17]
Way too used to living in death's shadow[00:02:18]
We stay on point like the best arrow arrow[00:02:20]
We hit the target accurate star sh*t back it up[00:02:22]
When we hit town y'all niggas pack it up[00:02:24]
That's how we get down straight smash it up[00:02:26]
Like a whip hydro planning [00:02:28]
Hydro on the brain and maintaining[00:02:29]
Game changing into subtle sh*t we remain blatant[00:02:30]
Yo got to tell you to your face[00:02:33]
You get replaced in this game by Kweli[00:02:35]
Place the face with the name[00:02:37]
These cats drink champagne[00:02:38]
And toast to death and pain[00:02:39]
Like slaves on a ship talking[00:02:41]
About who got the fliest chain[00:02:42]
Yo we the reflection of our ancestors[00:03:35]
We'd like to thank you for[00:03:36]
The building blocks you left us[00:03:38]
