[Talib Kweli]

Yea

S-A-S, size aint shit, neva dat

Strong Arm Steady, talib kweli

Yea

[Chorus: Talib Kweli]X2

Niggaz gettin caught in the trap

for the cash, it's the drugs basketball or the rap

theres more to us than that

We the shit consider the facts, afta you analyze that

You know you best to fall back

Woah

[Verse: Talib Kweli]

Woah!

I'm dealin wit, nuttin but facts, when I spit it though

You niggas superstitious don't step on the cracks or split the poem

Candle light, flickers so bright, i feel the wick can kick a sicka flow

and spill it like a liquor store, i spit the shit to make a cripple get up and dance

I spit the shit to make the average MC piss in his pants

I spit the shit to make a mothafucka call it a night

I spit the shit to see fuck wit C Delores Tucker sex like

I take a sip from my creative well, in this game for a minute

I play this well to win it, ya go to africa like dave chappelle, you finished

Cause ya prehistoric raps is borin, the number of whack rappers soarin

like the percentages of teenagers who have abortions

these niggas meak they lyrics weak, and they beats is corporate

they try snitchin on records their mouths is leakin ???

drippin em ova system than, chinese water torture

rippin a series of events, more unfortunate than lemony snicket

CHORUS x2

[Planet Asia]

Yea

medalliance mind, bless the mic for the gods, teach the blind

plus get a piece of mine release ya minds for each design

baby food for thought, rappas not ?? for sport

you ?? pork eatin niggas of sort

yo yous a fuckface, burnt out loser thats always up late

planet ais the revolutionary slash nut case

a witchcraft black magic, data load up computers

a spread the message wrote to you where when i show illusions

if all yall niggas is killas then how ya write ya records

how'd you find the time stop lyin ya minds infected

theres only a few, and i aint sayin niggas dont put it down from you town

im talkin bout you

yea the fake dude promotin propaganda, and open on some fanna, and out right snitchin on them cameras

planet ais, gold chain black bandanas low

steady gain click clack rang rang der dey go

CHORUS x2

[Phil Da Agony]

Yea

Just a high skip and a jump

away from gettin everything that I could possibly want

and prostitutes front

get a 4 bar on the roster, scratch that

im talkin about a full roster of raps

monstas that rap, buzzed out ?? check the cadence of the frequency

uniquely, we strong arms strategically

easily i twist the ?? killa cali ?? backalleys burnin backwoods in danelis

or

he probably wit kweli, out in bk

we make it easy for the djs, like instant replays

conversation by the buttons, i talk and touch sumpin

straight shots of the luey he flew me out to london

crunchin numbas flippin more dough, like siccisero

next thing you know we kissin ya hoe, wit out the mistletoe

strong arm steady, agony can ???, phil da rigglies, the big league niggas is droppin indies

les go

CHORUS x2

[Talib Kweli]

Talib kweli, right about now

dis what im feelin right about now

and I invite you all to check it out wit me

Lets go!

S'like,

X2

niggas gettin caught in the trap

For the cash its the drugs basketball or the rap

theres more to us than that

We da shit consider the facts, afta you analyze that

you know you best to fall back

Woah
