Yelling Away

Talib Kweli


[Talib] 
Ok, its the emcee extraordinaire Talib Kweli 
Chillin on Soundbombing 3, with my peoples 
From the East, Cypha Soundz, from West, Mr. Choc 
This is how we do it, I got y'all back, y'all got mine 
Let's do this- no more music motherfuckers 
[laughing] 

[Zap Mama- Chorus] 
Yelling, yelling, yelling away 
Going, going, going away 
And fly, away 

[Talib] 
Yo, fly in it 
Blue skies the limit, the skies infinite 
It reflect in the eyes of those who try to send spies in it 
Capture the sun if they could, but they go blind by it 
Look in the sky and I see Africa's eyes in it 
The land is dry like the cry in'finite 
The tear we shed grow to fruit til the eye replenish 
The industry wanna try to give my rhyme a sentence 
Behind bars with my rhymes diminished, they tryna end us 
But all them clowns do is give my mind a senate 
To watch my people's enemy die in my presence 

Fly away on the highest adventure out on the line 
And enter the gate of Zion, need to decide who sent em' 
I went through the jungle (yeah) 
Stalking like a black panther, rap's answer to that cancer 
Choking the life out the hood 
They won't let a man emancipate his people 
This refreshing like the spray of the bay in Puerto Rico 

[Chorus] x2 

[Zap Mama] 
All the things, you desire 
Earth...wind...water, fire 
These elements hammer nice together 
See, you can find it there 
Find it there 

[Chorus] x2 

[Common] 
Yo, I came into this world as the naked truth 
A little baby girl, trying to make it through 
Through this earth, wind, fire and water 
That I'm someone's daughter 
Cadence of divine order 
Sorta sent to let the people know their times spent 
It's precious and we can't keep our minds bent 
On just the pleasures of sex, drugs, wine, bread 
In essence, we one with the environment 
Though I've been here, less than a year 
Being so close to god, I guess I haven't learned the fear 
When I heard nature telling me, time to come home 
Told my mind this is the path for you to walk, not to run on 
Understand the night, to reach a higher day 
Follow yourself so you can fly away (fly away) 
Fly away dawg, fly away dawg, fly away dawg, fly away dawg 

[Zap Mama] 
You are feeling, the stress 
But in life, you're truly blessed 
Go...for...nothing less 
Spread your wings and fly away 
Fly away 

[Chorus] x4 

[Zap Mama] 
Go...for...nothing less (x3)
