Mood Swing

(Ya'll don't know right here this is the next single featuring

My man Talib Kweli, called Mood Swing, we gonna do it like this why'all)

You can run to every new thing under the sun

You be a jack of all trades and a master of none

Mood Swinging

La la la la la... eh oooo oo X4

Soon come you will understand

The motivation of a man getting the under hand

A local yokel on a mission to get global

Lettin' my vocals amass to some total

And keep the point focal, you hear me but you don't listen

You think its easy being put in this position

I freak speech, but still don't want to preach

This peak thought in stimulate movement at at Emcees

Grab your gat hit the streets, that the rally cry the war horn

The activist, those cats is spiritually war torn environment

So I leading a community movement

And I don't need money for me to make a community improvement

Tell me what you stand for

Would you settle for less or do you have the strength to demand more

Only time will tell, what this new world brings

Revolutions at order, check the mood swing, swing

Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing

Low like sweet chariot

What I say make my voice deep as berries get

Carry it like a torch

Give birth to rhymes to meet beats and then I'll marry 'em off

Have a divorce if the track is whack

(Please) My rhymes a rolling stone

Home is where the high hatters at, its on this song

(it on this song) Maybe one day it'll settle down

It ain't no good it all better now, come on let it now

Mood swing, changing the way we do things

It's a good thing, listen to the whole hood sing

No fear no doubt and no worry everything is on time there's no hurry

Mood swinging, swinging, mood swing, swinging

Mood swinging, swinging, mood swing, swinging, ooo oo

Me and baby in the rental

She talkin' gentle hit the hotel to presidential

Sweet...kisses on the temple make her feel special

Light a candle scent got us in this sentimental

Move it's right wit the light just so I could see

Begin to set the pace for what we gon' get into

My fingers is lyrics its back is the instrumental...

Ancient secrets, Indian, and Oriental

Blackin' out doin' shit that I can't rap about

Passin' out, wakin' up, not awake awake enough to take it up and not stop

Love is a friends never know if we can love again

I said we gotta leave, she asked if she can come again (come again)

I had to meet Asheru at the studio

I'm runnin' late, you know I hate to make a nigga wait

But damn baby "You look good in the summer time

Gimme some of yours, I'm a give you some of mine"

Yo Kweli I remember being in the same dilemma

Hip-hop was number one my girl was number one contender

The great pretender wit a whole different agenda

Until I make it big "Life is one long gig"

Mood swing like Ella of cold train its classic

Like Soul Train its timeless just like this rhyme is

So all of why'all that wagging they campaign

Grab a hold of that mood swing and do the damn thing

Mood swing, changing the way we do things

It's a good thing, listen to the whole hood sing

Uh you can run to every new thing under the sun

You be a jack of all trades and a master of none

Mood swinging, swinging, mood swing, swinging

Mood swinging, swinging, mood swing, swinging

I'm an outlet

A front of which which you ain't figured out yet

A resource, I pivot your efforts on the right course

It seats ya, doin' whatever it takes ta reach ya

All of its in me, no really its in me

A good brother, lovin' son, a great lover

I'm a truth seeker, on a quest not a believer

I'm an emcee for all of the world to see

Yea ya got my word on it, I'll put the Herd on it

That we rep shit, its the least to be expected

Fuck that prep shit, jump on stage like we connected

From the same minds saying the same things at the same time

Back stage rappin' like gettin' ready for game time

We a family, and ain't nothing goin' to change that

For better or worse like somebody prearrange that

The way it is the way it always will be so I can still and still be

Soon come we will witness a shift in consciousness

And black music is one of our greatest accomplishments

(one now) our names will live on this monument

So that our kids can hold up they heads with confidence

That's when our nation will rise and realize that

Life without knowledge is death in disguise

The answer to my comprehension is just too complex

One minute from the next, go from happy ta vexed

Mood swing, yea

See change is good sometimes

Mood swing, yea

It's time for the essence to rhyme

It's time to mood swing

Take it on back

Mood swing (repeat)

La, la, la, la (repeat)
