Talib Kweli – The Blast

Let me, let me practice.. hehehe, ehehe

Talib.. T’Kwi, Kweli – I can’t say it!

That’s wack..

[Talib Kweli] (Vinia Mojica)

Yeah, you pronounce my name (Kweli), any questions?

I bring many blessings with my man Hi-Tek and he from the Natti (Natti)

We make the sky crack, feel the fly track,

get your hands up like a hijack

Fist in the air for (Kweli), keep ’em there like

Natural mystic or smoke when they spliffs lit

It’s a revolutionary (party), they ask me what I’m writin for

I’m writin to show you what we fightin for

Say Taleeb or Talib (Kweli), if it’s hard try spellin it phonetically

If not then just let it be like Nina Simone,

you probably (ably) don’t listen B

Even when we suffer loses I account the victory

Sometimes it’s far and between I’m sad to say

it got my brain crowded like sunset on a Saturday

I know my son wept ’cause his dad’s away

Stop cryin be strong for your momma is what I had to say

to my little man in the money???

[Chorus 1]

To my little man named Amani (mani)

Start the party, my crew hot feel these two shots

Like the blast from a double barrel shottie (shottie)

It’s got to be, your man Hi-Tek and Kweli

Who make you rock your body (body)

Start the party, my crew hot feel these two shots

Like the blast from a double barrel shottie (shottie)

It’s got to be, your man Hi-Tek and Kweli

[Hi-Tek]

I remember when it all started

Back in the day when me and moms first parted

Hi-Tek from the beginnin I stayed advanced

A young chameleon, adapt to any circumstance

Peep game nigga never been a lazy nigga

Stayed on my hustle concentrate to get the paper bigger

Stay focused, while other cats stay hopeless

While niggas stay high I stay lower

Stacking my chips to get a foreclosure

This shit ain’t over..

Going for the gusto, keep getting that provo

It’s Hi-Tek (and Kweli) on the track like Flo Jo

Bet you ain’t even know I had flow though

[Chorus 2]

Yo, make you rock your body (body)

Start the party, my crew hot feel these two shots

Like the blast from a double barrel shottie (shottie)

It’s got to be, your man Hi-Tek and Kweli

[repeat 3x]

Keep on dancing, ya gotta keep on dancing

{Overlapping} oh oh ohhhhhh, yeah yeahhhhhhh

Keep on dancing, ya gotta keep on dancing..
