Talib Kweli:



Clear the area, stand back, nothin to see here

Keep it movin (I need the area clear)

Get back, stand back, back

Get back (we gon' have to clear all this stuff)

Get back, back, get back

Talib Kweli-Verse 1:



It's a funky sen-sa-tion ain't it?

I'm havin a conversation wit'cho imagination

It was explainin how you was waitin, for somethin amazin

Like when it come out you out the door racin to the store (*zoom*)

It took a lot of perse-verance and patience

We was preparin for our place among the ancients

Yo basically yo' take on me ain't makin me

or breakin me and yo I hate to see a fake MC

I take out all my competition from like A to Z

Cause I get fly more frequently than a travel agency

That's what I'm made to be, hip-hop through my artery

An important part of me the soundtrack to my oddysey

It got me, rockin retardedly

Pardon me for speakin incorrect politically

Anything less would be me speakin hypocritically, and I don't do dat

You lingerie MC's I see through that

I make a point about you and your crew, go "Tru dat"

Who dat?  It's the Reflection

Remember the name, slid in the game before the "2000 Season" came

Breakin the chain, usin the pain as our ammunition

to blast Babylonian towers out of position

It's the Reflection and we poppin like your ears on a plane

We make you disappear like tears in the rain

The fears in your brain is clear when I appear on the terrain

and bloody your nose

I got more lines than co-CAINE that's why you sniffin' around

We diggin' for different sounds to keep it hittin'

Straight up the only way we gettin' down with the sound is provacative

It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give

It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give

You got a issue with that then it ain't my problem kid

Y'all niggaz gotta eat, we gotta live, yo

We all gotta eat and gotta live

Talib Kweli-Verse 2:



We remain, hotter than the blue part of the flame

I got a glock in my brain

that baffle weapons inspections like Saddam Hussein

and rocks with the impact

Gettin beat with socks filled with ten-packs of tokens

Men's backs get broken when I get open

Words more than spoken

Most of dem MC's on the first thing smokin

Leavin town at the same time causin traffic on the interstate

We stay droppin classics cause the key word is innovate

These cats is so plastic that we call 'em laminated

Tried to duplicate the style quickly got frustrated

More desperate than dudes who search people's ashtrays for clips

I burn MC's like Coca-Cola through the paint on your whip

Shit!  My rhymes is like a magnifyin glass

When I shine my light through it, I burn up everything in my path

Last Dragon like Lee-roy (sho' nuff) rock for the b-boy

My rhymes are so sharp you catch cuts that key-loid

Destroyed the decoy, most of y'all d-boy, my culture

It's not that I hate, y'all just p-noid cause y'all fake

Embarassed and ashamed and don't know where to put the blame

And never hesitate to call out my name!

I ain't effected by the negative

It's the Reflection and we dealin with the positive

It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give

It's the Reflection kid

Never gotta look between the lines to get the messages

You're too sensitive, checkin out our references

The turntable and microphone specialist

It's the Reflection kid, it's the Reflection kid

It's the Reflection kid, like that like that
