Eternalists Lyrics - Reflection Eternal - Talib Kweli

Yeah 

Now here we go 

Here we go (come on come on) 

Now here we go 

Here we go (come on come on) 

Yeah 

Stay strong this ain't for the plain hearted 

My name's honored cause my style is insane retarded 

Remain hottest from St. Marks to St. Thomas 

Take game farther than the Putt-Putt planes chartered 

The same artist who smoke rain forest will bang hardest 

My brain smartest break a nigga like a lame promise 

All city like train bombers check out the pictures we painted (yeah) 

More colorful than Kelis naked 

Your skills is least debated and your album least awaited 

Even Big Tiger wouldn't let you in the basement 

Face it y'all niggas face down with your legs kicking 

They call your momma Roy Jones cause she raised chicken 

Your down for the count like Rah Digga I'm straight spitting 

Make pidgins say, "uh uh no they didn't" 

Yes we did so god bless the kid yo 

I got my own so I never stress his no

Chorus (repeat 1x) 

[first 2 lines quoted from Eric B. & Rakim: Follow The Leader] 

In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist 

Am I eternal or an eternalist? 

As soon as we showed up I sensed nervousness 

As soon as we rolled up y'all niggas burn to this 

Here we go 

Come on 

Yeah yeah (yeahhh) 

Yeah yeah (yeah yeah come on) 

Yeah yeah 

Come on come on 

Photos 

Yo we send this bullet straight towards your brain 

We taking over like the Moors in Spain there's more to gain 

Runaways get aboard the train (come on) You can't ignore the pain (no) 

When it come down like the pouring rain 

Caught the train of thought and claim to cross the broad terrain 

The cold weather break your spirit like a water main 

I looked in your eyes and I saw the shame 

Y'all don't know that a greatness came before the chain 

Till you can't imagine a future where this all could change 

If one of us ain't free then we all to blame 

So we attack each other fighting project wars and thang 

It's all the same across the board we off again 

You wanna sieve through that shit then you can call my name 

Kweli I chopped it up like raw cocaine 

I drop jams in top ten I'm not for the fame 

You wanna test and I bet you get wrecked like lost planes 

Yo 

Chorus (repeat 2x) 

Ya niggas shook 

And there it is (yeah) 

Yeah yeah (yeah yeah) 

Come on 

Yeah yeah (yeah yeah) 

Yeahh 

Yeah yeah (yeah yeah) 

Yo yo yo 

Say whaaat? Say what, say what, say what 

I rock for the purest and I rock for the players 

I rock for the fellas and I rock for the ladies (come on) 

I rock for the elders and I rock for the babies (yeah) 

I rhyme to the sirens that cry in the night (yeah) 

Live on the mic even though I've been dying to write (yeah) 

Since the day of flying a kite and ridding my bike (come on) 

Open my eyes and keep the prize within my line of sight (yeah) 

Cats dropped out of school to keep fiends high on the pipe (word) 

Seem like that's the get away of trying to fight 

The system thats based on trying to stop you from shinning your light 

Dying in spite of getting rich That's why I rhyme like 

a battle emcee Battling the tragedies and fallacies 

That be killing niggas quicker than infant mortality 

They acting like whats going on now is distant reality 

Behaving so casually that they become a casualty 

Plus they don't wanna battle me anyway 

They try to walk away but they stumble like Macy Gray 

Cats hit the tunnel to rumble and say, "Hey DJ!" 

Make me wonder why they call Sunday the lazy day 

Chorus (repeat 2x) 

Check me out 

yeah yeah 

yeah yeah 

yeah yeah (fades)
