If you can talk you can sing
If you can walk you can dance
That s an old proverb from Zimbabwe
You know what I mean
If you can talk you can sing
If you can walk you can dance
Yeahand the trumpet is blown
YeahalrightC monc monc monc mon
AlrightWooh!
(talking)
Yeahyeahyeahuhone more time
Yoanybody can tell you how it is
What we putting down right here is how it is and how it could be
Reflection Eternal for real
And with that-
These cats is no match
Plus they lack a certain knack for rapping
Chasing but they never catch the wagon
Like rerunning what s hap ning
Since back when
They had potty issues and snotty tissueswe been rockin
Think you poppin next year nobody will miss you
My thoughts is too advanced for the artists on these labels
They come sweeter than sabal and softer than mashed potatoes
I tried to told you the rhymes run over emcees like Land Rovers
Took em back in time like SankofaSankofa
We stand over the Atlanticlooking broad like a man s shoulders
The fire is trapped in a bellyready to pop like canned soda
We outlastingfrom middle passage
Touched down in New York
Cincinnatay! Big Ohio status what you thought
Money it s classic these bastards try to treat us like cattle
So life has been a constant battlebattle
Rising above the crabs in the barrel
Way too used to living in death s shadow
We stay on point like the best arrowarrow
We hit the target accurate
Star shitback it up
When we hit towny all niggas pack it up
That s how we get downstraight smash it up
Like a whiphydroplaning
Hydro on the brain and maintaining
Game changing into subtle shitwe remain blatant
Yogot to tell you to your face
You get replaced in this gameby Kweli
Place the face with the name
These cats drink champagne and toast to death and pain
Like slaves on a ship talking about who got the flyest chain
