Prime Example

Lyrics

Yeah
 Talib Kweli
 Black Star
 Reflection Eternal
 I am what you want to be but you can't though
 Prime example
 You cats can't flow but you get an "E" for effort
 (From ma say till efforts we stay?) together reign forever
 I am what you want to be but you can't though
 Prime example
 You cats can't flow but you get an "E" for effort
 (From ma say till efforts we stay?) together reign forever
 Please
 You think I give a fuck about your Clown Posse? You insane!
 You acting like a journalist and racking my brain
 Since I was tagging my name on the back of the train
 Like my man in (Lahane?) packing the same
 Little Gat that put me back in the frame of mind to say "Fuck the Five-O"
 Let me explain the rhyme
 Yo, cut the nice flow like Bob Marley
 I'm the black star they probably follow my every move
 Like I'm the son of John Gotti
 Escape to Paris like a jazz man round midnight
 Queen? anging like Josephine Baker raising the kids right
 Attack the dreaming
 Rap through the demons
 See the situation and extract the meaning
 Internationally known trees actually grown
 Through the cracks in the sidewalk
 See it in my walk
 Hear it in my talk
 Bet you cats feel it in my rap flow
 You can throw me a spliff but you can keep your tobacco
 I am what you want to be but you can't though
 Prime example
 You cats can't flow but you get an "E" for effort
 (From ma say till efforts we stay?) together reign forever
 I am what you want to be but you can't though
 Prime example
 You cats can't flow but you get an "E" for effort
 (From ma say till efforts we stay?) together reign forever
 ♪
 Are y'all with me tonight?
 Et vou avec moi?
 Y'all love the children and dance like a labor
 Say Ma where you goin with that flavor
 These cats ain't in my league, this here is major
 Mind state of the art
 Yeah I play my part with razor-sharp words
 Shot straight for the heart
 Beautiful like chords played on a harp with trumpets blaring
 Angels preparing for the fate we all sharing at
 One time or another through sunshine or thunder
 Ain't got no time for the blunders
 Then bond with one another to make the classical track
 What? The battery in my back
 I'm Eveready already plus magical (adapt?)
 Like mushrooms from the plush womb of the sweet
 The city workers pushing dust brooms in the street
 We complete the cipher
 Push up your lighter
 Throw your vanity in the bonfire
 Word
 I am what you want to be but you can't though
 Prime example
 You cats can't flow but you get an "E" for effort
 (from ma say till efforts we stay?) together reign forever
 I am what you want to be but you can't though
 Prime example
 You cats can't flow but you get an "E" for effort
 (From ma say till efforts we stay?) together reign forever
 I am what you want to be but you can't though
 Prime example
 You cats can't flow but you get an "E" for effort
 (From ma say till efforts we stay?) together reign forever
 I am what you want to be but you can't though
 Prime example
 You cats can't flow but you get an "E" for effort
 (From ma say till efforts we stay?) together reign forever
 And ever, and ever, and ever, and ever
 And ever, and ever, and ever, and ever
