Talib Kweli - So Good Lyrics
[Featuring: Musiq, Wordsworth][Talib Kweli - talking:]Yeah...As we continue on..Yeah (We recordin' in the house)Ladies and gentlemenThis the soundtrack (In the natural sound)Do not be alarmed (Children playin')Don't panic, be calm, yeah... (Crickets chirpin')We gon' hit you with... with the wordsWe gon' hit you with the music (We in Fort Greene right now)'Course we gonna hit you with that Kweli shit[Musiq]One of these days a change gon' comeFor you and I and our childrenWhere you can live and just have funDon't nobody trip on where you come fromEverything is good yeah it's all loveIt's freedom in the hood for all to get someIt's every woman to a manTo a child to a famWith all us on a higher level of understandingBut if it's gonna take a while I'll chillI can bask in the glory on that dayAnd if I gotta chill then boy I willIt's no problem for me because yo I beB-Boy position standing hereAnticipatin' patiently just waitin'To grind out for my dreamAnd you (you) can't stop me boy[HOOK - Musiq]Listen...Ladies and gentlemen don't be alarmedThis is the soundtracks of what's goin' onAnd if you want you can get itI promise you if you let itThe rhythm'll be good to youYeah, let the rhythm be good to youI promise baby it'll be so good to youAnd now, you 'bout to witness the soundOf these Words, Musiq, and Kweli[Wordsworth]Community blocks waitin' 'til my opportunity knocksBut the door is usually locked because it's usually copsMost of wish we had a car and jewelry shopBut spend my days tryin'a ***** or find a movie to watchTalkin' big plans to live large and move from the blockYour only option from your moms is to move to ya popsCigarettes tryin'a hold on to the few that you gotPrice is crazy high for you to give up a loosies a lotAreas we from you scared you don't runDon't care what you've doneBe wary of tongue snitchin' 'n' hope the jury is hungTryin' to go from zero to one like a hero becomesWhile here air in my lungs ideas I share with my sonsPeople down here so shady they could stare at the sunCan't wait 'til that unemployment check clear once it comesDaily routine, but my only theory when youngWas get money, get a job and hope her period comes... it's real life[HOOK][Talib Kweli]Walkin' the block at night I, stopped at rhyme cyphaCircle of rhyme writers broken up crime fightersThey said we loiterin' started orderin' us aroundWe ain't jump at the sound of they voice,They said "Get on the ground!"This cuz we black or what?I'm sick of cops harassin' usProbably because we ain't degrade ourselves fast enoughThe people passin' us stopped 'n' the cops start actin' rightSomebody had my back tonightOff they go in a flash of lightYou try to see the future take a mental picture of itCity life is hard when your apartment don't fit in your budgetYou need to get a room like people who kiss in publicPlus you tempted to say "***** it" until you kick the bucketThere's more to life than appears it ain't no crystal stairAs nails'll stick out 'n' snare you and this is crystal clearAin't no officials in chairs or fans that scream your nameIt ain't a game but it's still a challenge just the same[Hook][Musiq]But if it's gonna take a while I'll chillI can bask in the glory on that dayAnd if I gotta chill then boy I willIt's no problem for me because yo I beB-Boy position standing hereAnticipatin' patiently just waitin'To grind out for my dreamAnd you (you) can't stop me boy[HOOK]
