Talib Kweli Lyrics

"Good To You" lyrics


[Kweli] + (woman's Voice)
Yea (yeaaah)
Come on
Uhh
Yeah
Kweli

[Bridge]
Yo Yo
Ayo my silent moments, loud as the
crack of thunder
My hunger is like the crocodile that
attacks the hunter
It ain't commercial or underground, its
true cause I
(wanna be good to you)

[Chorus]
Call it skill, call it game, call it glow,
call my name
Like the lord, all in vein, screaming
like you all in pain
Treat it like a drug, all up in ya vain
cause (wanna be good to you)

[Verse 1]
We make the squares dance, and
get the do like dotsey
Y'all niggaz roll with pussy-cats like
Josey
All spoiled rotten like ghetto groceries
yo
I clutch the mic like ya grandma
clutch her rosary yo
Swooping the industry, like a bird to
prey
My stance has got stamina, ya verses
lack vertebrae
I heard them say I was a conscious
rapper
But I'm a monster when I hafta smack
the shit out of a nonsense actor
Using my 'hands solo' and I don't
need chewy
Over your head like Yamakas and
Koofies yo
Fuck the screen gems y'all niggaz act
in B movies
Type of niggaz proud to be groupies
Followers in the herd running over the
cliff
I'm the +Buffalo Soldier+, smoke ya
like a dread like rasta
blowing the spliff, loading a clip to spit
high
Like you holding blow in a stolen
whip, rolling the strip
Looking to hit cops, now that's a 4
alarm
Black queen falling on my arms, you
could call it charm
Mater fact call it what you want, its up
to you bro
(wanna be good to you)
Yea
Yea
Yea

Chorus (1x)

[Verse 2]
How many niggaz ever been in love'
How many niggaz really think they
thugs
And can't think without the drink and
drugs
How many niggaz can't get in with
hats and sneakers on
Say 'fuck security' and get inside and
keep them on
How many niggaz think that gats
make the weaker strong
Can't do for self and wanna snatch
the plate you eating on
That don't take heart, slave, nigga
play ya part
I'd rather jump over board nigga, face
the sharks
We stay doing it, later for the
conversation
Hammers is cocked and waiting,
niggaz is not debating
We ain't got the patience You found
popping shit
Come in to town just to run you down
like poppa ditch
And dig a proper ditch, you lying like
a politician
Your proposition meets opposition like
contradictions
Get out my house, you ain't no real
representative
I make it happen, you ain't official,
you tentative
Niggaz is sensitive, see how they
catching feelings
It's so hot, the sweat rise and it wet
the ceiling
Barracuda, Spitkicker nigga that's the
crew (wanna be good to you)

[Breakdown]
Whoo! (yeaahh)
Come on
Yeah
Low ride
Yo
Yo
Yo

[Verse 3]
Niggaz be claiming shit, find a
gangsta movie, put
they name in it, biting like there ain't
no shame in it
You the hardest on the beat, I'm the
fire that you playing with
You a artist from the street, I'll give
you the blood to paint it with
So yeah I'm positive, I'm positive I'm
the best
Spit bullets to split ya vest and
deposit them in ya chest
Dark is the flesh on my bones, calling
Brooklyn home
Hang up on niggaz like 'I want you to
meet my nigga tone, word
Leave me alone like Michael Jackson
Or there will be more than butterflies
in your stomach
waiting to see what happens
You see me out, know that my crew
is flawless
So called gangstas need more
security than the Rawkus office
Yo, I thought you bust ya gun
You just a big joke, thinking you a Big
Pun
Yo, Kayne this is the big one (wanna
be good to you)
me and my niggaz having big fun

Bridge (1x)

Chorus (1x)

Come on,
BK and
BX and
Q boro and
Manhattan and
Harlem niggaz and
Long Island
Wanna be good to you you you come
on! (wanna be good to you)
The whole world rocking
Yo the whole world rocking
Ayo uhh
