Talib Kweli - 2000 Seasons (Reflection Eternal) Lyrics
Talib Kweli:Yeah Hi Tek...Whom do we aspire to reflect on peoples deathWho's entertainment shall we sing our agonyof our hopesThat the destroyers aspiring to extinguish us will suddenlysuffer remorse at the sight of their own fantastic success?The last imbecile to dream that dream is deadHe was killed by the saviors of his own dreamOur movementTalib Kweli-Verse 1Im not a human being into no spirtual shit,a Spiritual being manifested as a humanthat's itWhen I spit I spray thoughts that's representing my lifeYo I step into the spot leave niggas open like micsTake on em on a tourExplore psychologies of warThings you can't imagine if you've never seen em beforeShorties come back rawStraight out the c- 74I welcome them back to the worldthey think is run by lawsThe world is run by men who use laws for toolsI come thru war tactics like Shaka ZuluMcs is soft like play-dohI shape 'emsmash em to piecesvolunteer Slaves crave the words i'm paintingThe masterpiecesYou hear em on the radio babblingBut the truth is traveling with the wordAs they're flying through the air like a javelinUnraveling like a verdictPoundit in your chest like a gavel in the highest courtIn Bablyon, let's travel onIf the world is foul, andyou think foul is how you got to liveThen from the get your ass was foulAnd foul just is how you isNo excuses see, life's dilemas are set up like a mirrorJust to show you all your facesNowyour clearer understanding is clearerYou had your chance for revolutionYou let it pass you byThat's why I'm dissing wack mc's till the day that I dieReflection getting you highWe stand our ground with the believersThe leaning tower of Pisa and the Pyramids of GizaNo comparisonThe way I flip it is embarassingTis the seasonAin't no carolingverse 2All knowingFlowing like spring water in the desertBalling through the barren landWhere niggas take a stand, like castles made of sandFree fallingFor anythingNothing but a plan to fail for they selvesNo sense of delf, needed daily affirmations of self helpYo it's right in front of yo grill stop looking everywhere elseSpeaking of planning,Hustling and schemingLooking for hookupsTook up too much timeLike a fiend for rocks that got cooked upGod bless the child that got his own shitI got my team'sSo the fiends now become opponentsThey the oppositionStronger from competitionShining like a golden shower, your face i'm pissing inCompleting a genocide mission likeThe Warren commissionLike fathers was supposed to be missingWhile our sisters were supposed to be whoringSave it for a rainy day, money is pouringUnder grey clouds, black butterflys still be soaringFlying in frienldy skiesWe classifying the highsBlood be flowing in the streets like crimson tide in my eyesTye be having me drowsyBut I get mellow with the chronicIntellectuals embarrased cause we discussing ebonicsI'm on a roll like sonicIn an age that the plague got bubonic proportionsYo I call it reparations, but they call it extortionWhateverJust give me mineBut cautionYou've been warned for the very last timeI'm not telling you againSo relay it to your crewYou gotta actuallyto doForget the drive in, driveby and drive throughYou've got toGet out the carHumble yourselfTilt your head back, and look at the starsShining over someplace very far, from where you standingWhen the night is clearYou understanding just who put them thereWhat you know about the space you get lost inYour peoples can't hear you in the distortionThe desert is absorptionAnd you sucked and you stuck off american freezing for like2000 seasonsUpon your return from raping and crossbreedingYour own people accuse you of deceiving and misleadingCausing mass confusion. Drug abusingNow you all caught up ininstitutionsAt this time you've got to break it down and be showing and provingAn A&R told me that i use to many catch phrasestrue I'm trying to catch all my people in all different stages alldifferent phasesit's like that y'all...
