I ain't out to diss nobody, but we gonna keep it real for a second, keep it real for a second
brooklyn stand up...
if you doing the grisly(?) i respect that,
but alot of rappers saying things they dont mean,
people see through that, talib kweli
eh yo
[Chrorus]
Niggas Lie Alot
What
Niggas Lie Alot
What
Niggas Lie Niggas Lie Niggas Lie Alot
What
i know you think you nice, you just nice on your block
with these crabs in the barrell
trying to rise to the top
[Chorus]
This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot
i aint scared to die
i aint scared of getting shot,
i got the fear of god,
and from all i've been through,
if you fuck with the family then i gotta put it in you,
Pause, now continue
i love the competition
i aint got no issue with the battles or dissin
but i'll keep it straight with you,
I'm shooting from the hip,
I can't stand these rappers that just shootin off their lip,
every rapper is a clapper
you're producer is a shooter
engineer got a nine
label boss got a ruger
yeah right we aint stupid
we dont believe these losers got a mac in the booth,
tell the truth its a computer
so let me guess,
you make it that impressin (?)
i seen you on myspace
you just wanna be friends
so lets not pretend
ya i respected your blokc
until i put it all together now lets connect the dots
[chorus]
ok you say you rap
you know how i can tell your whack?
It's 2007 and your still sellin crack
back in 1986 when we was shootin over sneakers
crack was king but now they slangin and 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 to lie on how they kill on corners
they still corny, they don't know what the real new york is
faster than a rose and crime inner city drop
it wasn't cuz the mayor added 40,000 cops
you on the corner like "Wow, My Style Is Pretty Hot"
but my style mile is equal to 20 city blocks
most say New York is soft
it's softer with the beef shit
iggas 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
[Chorus]
