My rhymes is found in the veins of ghetto folks who surrounded with pain
Going to clubs drowned in the liquor that's surrounding they brains
Want to be thugs on every record got them sounding the same (hell yea)
Ever since I first came to put it down in this game
These people can't quite get there tongues around my name
It's all for the good I'm still the same with or with out the fame
But I'm saying the way you got my shit pronounced, it's a shame
(umm umm umm) The first part is Arabic (Talib)
That means the student or the seeker
I never try to be no teacher or no preacher
I just reach you through the speaker
Never beat you in the head
Cause all that preaching to the choir, yo it's dead, word (umm uhh uhh)
Then you got (Kweli), let me put you on
It means truth and knowledge from the people of the Akan
Reaching you through the song, got you rocking to the beat
Asking for Hi-Tek tracks, stopping me in the streets (uhh uhh come on)

Like the blast from a double barrel (shottie)

Love hate, be in the clubs late [yea]
All our beliefs crush grape (come on)
Steady rhymes takes bust ish straight
Upstate we puff grate and stay with the sticky like duct tape
Always pushing my self and steady knowing the ledge
