More Or Less

Yo Tone what we need?

{CHORUS}

more gum, less hate, more real, less fake, more come, less wishing

less stuntin more famous talking more changes rushing

{Talib}

more franchising less sanitizing

more uprising less downsizing

more enterprising less sympathizing

more buildings less destroying

more jobs less unemployment

lets get the devil less enjoinment

more originality less biting pocket off big

more community activism less pigs

more blacksmithing, def jux less geffen

and the rest cause the rest suck the got the shit all messed up

more marijuana less coke

more countibility for politicians before we shoutin lets vote

more schools less prisons

more freestyles less written

more serious shit and less kidding

more history less mystery

more beyonce less brittany

more happiness less misery

more victory less losses

more workers, we all bosses

of course its reflection....

What we need?

{CHORUS}

{Talib}

God bless the hood where my money always good

i can get you take it now thinkin couldn't when i could son

i live above the rim and pay the full like my nigga would

crack is old niggas wish, we all wish a nigga would

crack a joke like he wanna battle for the mic

this is brooklynn, the planet

y'all niggas is just satelites

revolve around my every word

i address the crowd like lincoln at Gettysberg

surrounded by the heavy herb

the crowd is more or less

war to war here for the pure

hip-hop how im rockin got them dropin they jaw

fire marshall blocking the door

theres a crack like they chopping the raw

this the shit the cops stoping us for

this the reign of the tek and them motherf**king b nuts

slice like the nip-tuck

specialize in deep cuts

its the music that you ridin to

provided to you by kweli and hi-tek the livest two...

yeah, what we need?

{Chorus}

{Talib}

the more i put into it , the less it sounds like the nonsense

the more natural the less conscience,

at the same time the more bomb shit

the less the devill got a grip

i get it loose we gotta slip away, the ghetto gotta get

more for a dollar

more frescas for purchase

less liqour stores

less churches that be lookin like corner stores

more rap songs that stress purpose with

less masaging and less curses

lets put more depth in our verses, till they left on the surface

while we stomp through the underground

the cop don't come around

you sort of hoping for that reflection

you sort of open imma heed call him chosen

i don't play with your emotions,

stop acting so God damn emotional

i give you these bars for free like they promotional,

this ain't no marketing strategy

it had to be from the heart in order to be reality

reflection...

what we need?

{Chorus}
