The Blast (feat. Vinia Mojica)

Lemme practice

Talib Chequeed, Kweli, I can't say it, that's why

Yeah, you pronounce my name (Kweli) any questions?

I bring many blessings with my man Hi-Tek

And he's from the 'Nati

We make the sky crack, feel the fly track

Get your hands up like a hijack

Fists in the air keep 'em there like

Natural mystic or smoke when the spliff is lit

It's a revolutionary

They ask me what I'm writing for

I'm writing to show you what we fighting for

Say Talib or Talib

If it's hard try spelling it phonetically

Nothing, just let it be like Nina Simone

You probably don't listen, B

Even when we suffer losses I account the victory

Sometimes they're far in between, I'm sad to say

It got my brain crowded like sunset on a Saturday

I know my son wept 'cause his dad's away

Stop crying, be strong for your mama is what I had to say

To my little man, named Amani

Start the party, my crew hot, feel these two shots

Like the blast from a double barrel shotty

It's got to be your man Hi-Tek and Kweli

Who make you rock your body

Start the party, my crew hot, feel these two shots

Like the blast from a double barrel shotty

It's got to be your man Hi-Tek and Kweli

I remember when it all started

Back in the day when me and mom first parted

Hi-Tek from the beginning, I stayed advanced

A young chameleon, adapt to any circumstance

Peep game, ****, never been a lazy ****

Stayed on my hustle, concentrate to get the paper bigger

Stay focused while other cats stay hopeless

While **** stay high, I stay lower

Stacking my chips to get a foreclosure

This shit ain't over

Going for the gusto, keep getting that provo

It's Hi-Tek on the track like Flo Jo

Bet you ain't even know I had flow though

Yo, man, you rock your body

Start the party, my crew hot, feel these two shots

Like the blast from a double barrel shotty

It's got to be your man Hi-Tek and Kweli

Keep on dancing, you gotta keep on dancing, yeah, yeah

Keep on dancing, you gotta keep on dancing, yeah, yeah

Keep on dancing, you gotta keep on dancing, yeah, yeah

Keep on dancing, you gotta keep on dancing

Yeah, this is Gil Scott-Heron and I'm from, uh, I'm from

Harlem you see, like, everybody knows where that is

So that's where I'm from

Uh, Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek

Reflection Eternal, the new album is called the Train of Thought

I'm urging everybody to get a ticket and get on the train

'Cause that's what you need to be doing
