This the year of the Blacksmith

Talib Kweli (Kweli) K-1 (K-1)

Let's go! {"Listen!"}

Yeah, yeah niggaz don't {"Listen!"}

Back in the days we all used to {"Listen!"}

Now shit is so wack, nobody {"Listen!"}

To that real hip-hop, yo {"Listen!"}

 

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here it come {"Listen!"}

Talib Kweli and I'm bangin on your eardrum

{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} Now let me get up in it

Wait, wait, wait, wait {"Wait just a minute"}

 



Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears

Start repentin cause the endin is near

But don't, panic you can't function if you livin in fear

Pay attention you gotta listen to hear {"Wait just a minute"}

Who the fuck you think you talkin to?

Put you on hold, get a specialist to walk you through

Kweli, the flow captain to fast or slow rappin

I'm soul crackin, you ain't heard your shit appear like closed captions

King of the bars and I'm goin hardcores

All my confidence comes from knowin God's laws

Bangin on the system, fightin my kind of war

Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion's roar

 



Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here it come {"Listen!"}

Talib Kweli and I'm bangin on your eardrum

{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} Now let me get up in it

It's for your spirits so, but y'all don't hear me though {"Listen!"}

Get up, get into it and get involved {"Listen!"}

There's a little somethin that I wanna spit for y'all

{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} Now let me get up in it

Wait, wait, wait, wait {"Wait just a minute"}

 



Get it now, get it fast, get it right

Get it big, get it live, get it done, get it tight

{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} But you don't really hear me though

I, spit it clearly so it's live at your stereo

To your heart while it's beatin in your chest

I'm speakin to execs in the seat behind the desk

To your spirit nuttin weaker than the flesh

So while you try to keep it fresh you gettin deeper in the depth

Real hip-hop is missin from the shelf

Yep, it's what you felt when you listen to yourself

Only a few is makin cuts that finish

So before you spend your hard-earned spinach {"Wait just a minute"}

 



 



Yeah, you love the sounds comin out your speaker

I spit rounds like a 9-millimeter

The youth today they, frown at the teachers

They ain't down with no leaders, they don't wanna wait just a {"minute"}

They like "What nigga? Wait right there

I got reservoir dogs, you be missin a right ear"

{"Listen!"} Get it clear, figure is my year

I'm everywhere makin appearances in niggaz nightmares

Hear the word, peep the flow, check the cadence

What you heard is a pro I'm so amazin

Don't front girl you know it's your favorite

New Kweli yo they runnin out of patience

 



 



Yo, don't it sound so good to ya?

Uhh, it's the return of the greatest y'all

Talib Kweli, BKMC, Blacksmith is the movement

Blacksmith is the music, what you ridin for?

What you livin for, what you dyin for?

{"Somethin I wanna tell you"} Bangin on your eardrum, yeah

{"Wait just, wait just, wait just a minute"}

{"Listen!"}

{"Wait just, wait just, wait just a minute"}
