Listen!!! Lyrics - Ear Drum - Talib Kweli

This the year of the BlackSmith 

Talib Kweli, Kwame, let's go 

Yeah, niggas don't listen 

Back in the days we all used to listen 

Now shit is so wack, nobody listen 

To that real hip hop, yo, listen 

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready, here I come 

Talib Kweli and I'm bangin' on ya eardrum 

I think I wanna hear you 

Now lemme get up in it, wait, wait, wait, wait 

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me ya ears 

Stop repentin' 'cause the ending is near 

But don't panic, you can't function if you livin' in fear 

Pay attention, you gotta listen to hear

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

Wait just a minute, who the fuck you talkin' to? 

Put you on hold, get a specialist to walk you through 

Kweli, the flow captain of fast and slow rappin' 

I'm so crackin', you ain't heard? Ya shit appear like closed captions 

King of the bars and I'm goin' hard pause 

All my confidence comes from knowin' God's Laws 

Bangin' on the system, fightin' my kinda war 

Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion's roar 

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready, here I come 

Talib Kweli and I'm bangin' on ya eardrum 

I think I wanna feel you 

Now lemme get up in it, it's for ya spirit so 

But y'all hear me though 

Get up, get into it and get involved 

There's a little something that I wanna spit for y'all 

I think I wanna feel you 

Now lemme get up in it, wait, wait, wait, wait 

Photos 

Get it now, get it fast, get it right 

Get it big, get it locked, get it done, get it tight 

I think I wanna feel you 

But you don't really hear me though 

I spit clearly so it's live outcha stereo 

To your heart while it's beatin' in ya chest 

When you speakin' to execs and they see behind the desk 

To ya spirit, nothing weaker than the flesh 

So while you try to keep it fresh, you gettin' deeper into debt 

Real hip hop is missin' from the shelf 

Yup, it's what you felt when you listen to yaself 

Only a few is makin' cuts that's spinnin' 

So before you spend ya hard earned spinach 

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready, here I come 

Talib Kweli and I'm bangin' on ya eardrum 

I think I wanna feel you 

Now lemme get up in it, it's for ya spirit so 

But y'all hear me though 

Get up, get into it and get involved 

There's a little something that I wanna spit for y'all 

I think I wanna feel you 

Now lemme get up in it, wait, wait, wait, wait 

You love the sounds comin' out your speaker 

I spit rounds like a nine millimeter 

The youth today, they frown at the teachers 

They ain't down with no leaders 

They don't wanna wait just a minute 

They like, "What? Nigga, wait right there" 

I got 'Reservoir Dogs', you'll be missin' a right ear 

Get it clear, I figure it's my year 

I'm everywhere makin' appearances and niggas might miss 

Hear the word, peep the flow, check the cadence 

What you heard as a pro, I'm so amazing 

Don't front, girl, you know it's ya favorite 

New Kweli, yo, they runnin' out of patience 

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready, here I come 

Talib Kweli and I'm bangin' on ya eardrum 

I think I wanna feel you 

Now lemme get up in it, it's for ya spirit so 

But y'all hear me though 

Get up, get into it and get involved 

There's a little something that I wanna spit for y'all 

I think I wanna feel you 

Now lemme get up in it, wait, wait, wait, wait 

Yo, don't it sound so good to you? 

It's the return of the greatest, y'all 

Talib Kweli, BKMC 

BlackSmith is the movement, BlackSmith is the music 

Whatchu ridin' for? 

Whatchu livin' for? 

Whatchu dyin' for? 

I think I wanna feel you 

Bangin' on ya eardrum, yeah 

Wait now, wait now, wait now for a minute 

Listen 

Wait now, wait now, wait now for a minute
