Madlib & Talib Kweli - The Show Lyrics
[Intro]Five something in the morning going on sixIt's daylight, sunrise timeTime to free yo'self, free your soul, free your mindLadies, free that ass, yeahCoast to coast it's the most, we don't brag and boastWe just leave 'em comatoseIt's your boy Talib Kweli[Verse 1]Yeah, flow is tight though I got a couple screws looseIt's cuckoo, my rep in this game is bigger than Bruce BruceWho you? Your name smaller than five grains of couscousIt's the highest caliber, your caliber is deuce deuceShoot, y'all niggas can't hang like a loose nooseI get on stage, niggas in my ear like a BluetoothAnd that's the triple truth Ruth, they lips is loose likeThe Señor Love Daddy in the bulletproof booth, kuffMy rhymes is full of truth, and the business full of liesTry to look a Masai kid in his eyes for the fliesAnd tell him how he *****ed up our environment dailyThe only thing we know about Africa is from Nas or BellyBut go off like a Hutu or Tutsi, from Rwanda or BurundiOver drums like Babatunde OlatunjiSaying nigga just to keep our teeth white, like Paul MooneyFighting spiritual wars, like the Shi'ite or the SunniYo, our music went from tap dance to the lapdanceTry to get me to sell out and that's a fat chanceYou see black faces in my rap pagesLarry Davis, Angela Davis or Ossie Davis[Hook]Yeah, welcome to the show, it's Talib Kweli, so amazingLive from California it's the Madlib Invasion, let's go![Verse 2]This exercise in freedom is called The LiberationI keep it fly by a process of eliminationWhen it come to paying the kid, sometimes it's hesitationTil I make 'em check it in like they got reservationsBut there ain't no reservations about copping thisEven though it's free for the people there ain't no stopping thisPopping fresh, caking up, I'm breaking up the, monotonous flowThat can't write or plant life like a botanist growA new crop and just roll, it up, blow it out whoaExcuse the *****iness though, I'm just showing out, noYou can't go without this, now what'chu know about that?Now what'chu know about... now what'chu know about... {*to fade*}
