Soundbombing Freestyle

Talib Kweli


[DJ Evil Dee] 
Uh, this is Side 2, Evil Dee in your area 
Rawkus, every four minutes of dump flavored Now and Laters 
*laughs* and ass-crack Oreos 

(ready, ready) 

-interlude- 
[Talib Kweli] 
*laughs* 
Throw your hands in the air, and wave em like you just don't care 
And if you, love the truth, and you livin proof 
Let me hear you say "oh yeah" 
And you don't stop, and you don't quit, and you don't stop 
And you don't quit, and you don't quit 
It's Talib Kweli I'm the ultimate 
Got my man Mos Def and he's freakin shit 
Listen to the way the beat gets intricate 
Anybody who is illiterate, probably will never even consider it 
Yo, Evil Dee what up? my name is Talib Kweli 
That's Mos Def on the ?Wilison? 
Yo, this is futuristic Soundbombing, welcome 
Please do not hold onto the doors 

(Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to introduce 
A very interesting young man who's traveled from very far away 
To be with us tonight) 

[Mos Def] 
(yes, yes) yo yo yo yo (yes) yo yo 
Aiyyo Kweli I heard there's a function goin on at the D&D 
Some things that I gotta see, heard that the Rawkus click 
Was doin some ill shit wit my man Evil, and the rest of my people 
Is you wit it? 

[Kweli] 
I'm always wit it, always forget it 
If you a MC, you couldn't get wit it, you too dim-witted 
MC's come to and try to diss this 
Chicks want Kweli for Christmas, on they wish list 
Here we come through, kick the lyrical swiftness 
You missed this, again it's over your head 
Now I send it, over to my friend Mos Def 
MC's got no fuckin rhymes left 

[Mos Def] 
*phone rings* 
Hello, yes I got the call, don't need no answering machine at all 
I got a, Caller ID to screen my calls 
So I can see who's tryin to speak to me cuz frequently 
A lot of cats try to get in touch but I don't want to be in they clutch 
I got my man Kweli who I love very much, and such and such 
My man, Rawkus click, we on some ill shit 

[Kweli] 
I call 7-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh 
Don't want to say his number, MC's is in slumber 
Yo they wakin up they takin up too much time 
Mos Def, I got to get in touch wit and get a Dutch 
And then head over to his crib and say 
"Yo look what these kids did, and I had my kids at my crib" 
And I can't believe they tried to roll up on my like that 
MC's come through because they always lookin wack 

[Mos Def] 
They always lookin wack cuz look at the way they dress 
Thinkin you a Mister you must be a Miss 
I'm watchin the slip underneath your skirt 
Steppin to me like that kid you only get hurt 
Son I stand five-ten wit the open palms, I'm droppin bombs 
Wit the, urban songs and I never stay calm when I kick it 
A matter of fact I get type wicked and very specific 

[Kweli] 
And exquisite wit the beat, MC's is incomplete 
They ain't like whole wheat, I need to eat 
More of that for my nutrition, MC's catchin coniptions 
They readin the writin on the wall like an Egyptian 
Comin through is my verbal mission, to try to track you down 
It's the MC formerly known as Genesis 
You will remember this, it's your verbal nemesis 
Yo, Mos Def is 

[Mos Def] 
Yo my style is original like fingerprints 
I been down ever since, make you Reminisce like Pete Rock 
When the beat drop, kids stop to listen 
Because they hear the verbs glisten 
I'll play your opposition like a fullback, I got the full pack 
Just like a convict on lock, the beat never stop 
And we come on time like a clock, this is the real hip-hop 

[Kweli] 
The real hip-hop, try to test me, you get stomped 
Why try, you get caught up in the paparazzi like Princess Di 
Yo, come through we always lookin fly 
MC's try to come up to me, they singin lullabyes 
They on a plantation, I'll free you like Emancipation 
From that thought you have is makin your mind needin some sanatation 
I'm fillin the schools up like asbestos 
It's best that you leave my premesis 

[Mos Def] 
And what's better, is to make cheddar 
And try to get yo shit together 
I freak it wherever and whenever just like Maxwell 
The style that I got will tax well 
Yo that just bomb, but I don't spend my time 
Focusin on mistakes, I feed breaks 
This is the way that we make, and sound hype 
When we stand on the mic 

[Kweli] 
We focus on true, we never dwell and hate 

[DJ Evil Dee] 
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh UH!
