This the year of the blacksmith, Tyler Kweli, Kweli, K-Walk, K-Walk, let's go!
Yeah, yeah, niggas don't listen Back in the days we all used to listen
Now *** is so wack, nobody listens To that real hip hop, yo
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here comes Tyler Kweli and I'm banging on your ears
Now let me get up in here, wait, wait, wait, wait
Waitin' friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
Stop 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 *** you think you talkin' to? Put you on hold, get a specialist to walk you through
Kweli, the flow captain, the fastest flow rapper
And I'm so crackin' you ain't heard your *** appear in the closed captions
King of the bars and I'm goin' hard pours
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 comes Tyler Kweli and I'm banging on your ears
Now let me get up in here, let's pour your spirit somewhere
Y'all hear me though, get up, get into it and get involved
There's a little somethin' that I wanna speak for y'all
Now let me get up in here, wait, wait, wait, wait
Get it now, get it fast, get it right, get it big, get it live, get it done, get it tight
But you don't really hear me though, I spit it clearly so it's live, I'm just stereo
To your heart while it's beatin' in your chest
I'm just speakin' to exacts in the seat behind the desk
To your spirit, nothin' weaker than the flesh
So while you try to keep it fresh, you get it deeper in the depth
Real hip-hop is missin' from the shelf, yup
That's what you felt when you listened to yourself
All of your viewers make you cuss, that's finish
So before you spend your heart, it's finished
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here comes Tyler Kweli and I'm banging on your ears
Now let me get up in here, it's for your spirit so
Y'all hear me though, get up, get into it and get it far
There's a little somethin' that I wanna speak for y'all
Now let me get up in here, wait, wait, wait, wait
You hear all the sounds comin' out your speaker
I spit rounds like a nine millimeter
For you today, they frown at the teachers, they ain't down
When no leaders, they don't wanna wait just a minute
They like, what, nigga, wait right there
I got reservoir dogs, you be missin' the right ear
Get it clear, I figure it's my year
I'm everywhere makin' appearances and niggas not amazed
Hear the words, peep the flow, check the cadence
What you heard is a pro, I'm so amazing
Don't frunk, girl, you know it's your favorite
New quality, yo, they runnin' out of patience
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready here comes Tyler Kweli and I'm banging on your ears
Now let me get up in here, it's for your spirit so
Get off, get into it and get involved
There's a little somethin' that I wanna speak for y'all
Now let me get up in here, wait, wait, wait, wait
Y'all, don't it sound so good to you?
It's the return of the greatest y'all
Tyler 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
Banging on your ears from the gym
Wait just, wait just, wait just a minute
Listen
Wait just, wait just, wait just a minute
