Everything Man Lyrics - Ear Drum - Talib Kweli

I don't remember the first time I heard Kweli 

I don't remember what I was doing 

There were no remembered witnesses to my doings 

But it seems like I've known him forever 

He who has moved through mornings and midnights 

Through deaths and dawns 

To document our bones, our blood, our lives 

Listen, listen to his exact wings 

Strumming mists from clouds 

Listen, listen, a man always punctual with his mouth 

Listen to his revolution of syllables 

Scoping lightning from his pores 

Keeping time with his hurricane beat 

Asking us to pick ourselves up and become thunder

Yeah, they say you can't please everybody 

Let's go, yeah, they ain't know what that sound like 

Feel the heartbeat, feel the heartbeat 

On your eardrum, we got a new heartbeat 

Feel the heartbeat, feel the heartbeat 

On your eardrum, we got a new heartbeat 

Yo, what becomes of a dream deferred 

That never makes it to the world to be seen or heard? 

Do it breathe? Do it got a heartbeat? Is it alive? 

Do it leave only to become a star in the sky? 

I believe the scratch that I know, this ain't my full potential 

Only usin' 10 percent of my mental on instrumentals 

But incidentally, my energy heavenly 

Can he be so ill? There ain't no, pill or no remedy 

The maker of memories posses the recipe to your fate 

Make no mistake, there ain't no escapin' your destiny 

Especially when 'til death do us part, like wedding rings 

I'll be here forever, put that on everything

You're everything man 

You're everything man 

Your alpha and your omega, your beginning and your end 

Your father, your brother, your lover, your friend 

The blood in your vein that gets spilled and, runs in the drain 

That's right, my flow one and the same, the joy and the pain 

My name, the burner that destroy the toy and the train 

All city, all night I'm enjoyin' the fame 

I'm a hustler, I'm a gangster and a rebel with the rank of a general 

In the battle between God and the Devil 

I lay claim to your spirit, your religion, your belief system 

I'll do your hit in your kitchen and you're relief pitchin' 

This kid proficient in every position 

The man of your dreams and your nightmares commandin' your vision 

'Til it's quite clear like light beer, yeah, I'm standin' right here 

I get you hot but stay cooler than the night air 

I try to fit it in the same rhyme 

But realize, I can't be everything to everyone at the same time 

You're everything man 

You're everything man 

First time I heard him, I was in Japan 

Seems like the first time I heard him was like 

The Reflection, 'Reflection Eternal' 

Like when Kanye came out 

I guess was when I started to listen, I hate to say that but 

New York native and serious Talib fan 

I came all the way from Puerto Rico just to see Talib Kweli 

Him, Mos Def, all of them man 

I need them out here in my life 

It's a rainy morning in New York City
