[Talib Speaking:]

I Ain't Out 2 Diss Nobody

But We Gon Keep It Real 4 A Second

Can We Keep It Real 4 A Second

Brooklyn Stand Up

If U Doing Ya Grizzly I Respect That

But A Lot Of Rappers Is Saying Things They Don't Mean

People See Through Dat

Talib Kweli



[Chorus:]

Niggas Lie A Lot, Niggas Lie A Lot

Niggas Lie, Niggas Lie, Niggas Lie A Lot 

I Know U Think U Nice,

U Just Nice On Ya Block

Wit These Crabs In Da Bow

Tryin 2 Rise 2 The Top



[Verse 1:]

This Is Why I'm Hot

This Is Why I'm Hot

I Ain't Scared 2 Die

I Ain't Scared Of Gettin Shot

I Got The Fear Of God

And From All That I Been Through

If U Fuck With The Family

Then I Gotta Put It In U 

Pause, Now Continue

I Love The Competition

I Ain't Got No Issue With The Battles Or Dissin

But I Keep It Straight Wit U 

We Shootin From The Hip

I Can't Stand These Rappers Dat Just Shootin Off They Lip

Every Rapper Is A Clapper

Your Producer Is A Shooter

Engineer Gotta Nine 

Label Boss Gotta Ruger

Yeah Right We Ain't Stupid

We Don't Believe These Losers

Gotta Mac In Da Booth

Tell The Truth, It's A Computer 

So Let Me Guess U Make It That Impressin

I Seen U On MySpace, U Just Wanna Be Friends

So Let's Not Pretend, I Respected Ya Block 

Until I Put It All Together, Now Let's Connect Da Dots



[Chorus]



[Verse 2:]

Ok, U Say U Rap

U Know How I Can Tell U Whack

It's 2007 N U Still Sellin Crack

Back N 1986 When We Was Shootin Over Sneakers

Crack Was King But Now They Slangin N It's Drastically Cheaper

It Ain't A Real Demand There Ain't No Short Supply

Just The Same Old Crackheads Getting Twice As High

These Niggas Like 2 Lie On How They Kill On Corners

They Still Corny, They Don't Know What The Real New York Is

Faster Than A Rose N Crime Inner City Drop

It Wasn't Cuz The Mayor Added 40,000 Cops

U On The Corner Like “Wow, My Style Is Pretty Hot”

But My Style Mile Is Equal 2  20 City Blocks

Most Say New York Is Soft 

It's Softer With The Beef Shit

Niggas Can't Separate The Music From The Street Shit

Man That's Some Weak Shit

Them Niggas Never Classic

Remember Bastards

Talib Kweli Forever Blacksmithin
