In the Mood

[Intro: Talib Kweli] You left me Yes! Welcome to the wonderful sounds of Talib Kweli Left me in a lonesome mood Ladies... [Verse 1: Talib Kweli] I got you in the mood (Yeah), for a interlude Raw like in the nude, I hope this ain't considered rude But let's stop talking, 'cause it's feelin like an interview I know you're into me, so, let me get into you I'm always in the mood for laughing and loving And rapping and fucking And passing the dutch and relaxing and puffing And hitting and ducking the ripping production These kittens ain't muffins just because we stuff 'em in the oven My words is dripping off the tongue like the wax from a candle wick Ill the way I lay down the rap, they can't handle it Cats all sappy like romantic flicks Dude, get a clue, like Colonel Mustard in the study with a candlestick They holding hands with these dudes like they going steady, but One glimpse, and I know they ready—you already know Slipped her a note like, "You ready to go?" We make a getaway plan, and we head for the door, let's go [Hook: Talib Kweli & Kanye West] I wear the night like a cloak cause I move with the stars (C'mon) Navigate through the truly bizarre Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (Y-Y-Yeah, yeah) Navigate through the truly bizarre (Yeezy, uh-uh) Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life (Uh-uh) And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight (Woo!) [Verse 2: Kanye West] You messin up my mo— my whole mood, told you, oh Lose, eat crews like soul food The only producer that feel like, "Fuck rappers!" Only backpacker with a chip like hackers Only Michael Richardson, only much Blacker So if he say nigga, then I'ma say... Is this a Ritz? Carlton? Dress like, fresh, like Just like, I'm the shit (In the mood) Ugh! You ain't figured out what I'm about yet Always rockin that "This-ain't-out-yet" But this ain't 'bout that From a city where niggas plug like outlets Far as music go, yo, it ain't no outlets So, when I go out, niggas always out to get me in the studio And I ain't in the mood to flow I'm with my girl, and I'm tryin to hit the movies, yo And they tryna act stupid—oh! In the club with Silicon Suzie What happened to real girls, like Rudy? With real titties like Tootie This girl got a silicon booty! And got the nerve to act moody! Now, I ain't tryna judge like Judy But bitch, you a man, you can't fool me! Act like 50—throw her in a pool, G! [Hook: Talib Kweli & Kanye West] I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (Yeah) Navigate through the truly bizarre (Uh-uh uh, uh) Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight I wear the night like a cloak cause I move with the stars Navigate through the truly bizarre Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight [Interlude: Talib Kweli] Break it down, uh! What? Ah-ah, uh, uh-uh, ah Ah-ah, uh, uh-uh, ah Yeah! D-D-D-D-D-D-nn-wha! D-D-D-D-D-D-nn-wha! [Verse 3: Talib Kweli] Bringin the drum, keep it funky like a stink in a slum 'Cause see, they wanna breed cursing for the things that don't come The speakers wrong that we rap dudes speakin in tongues Christmastime choice for what? No, we keepin our guns Smokin a piff to cause a leak in your lungs You ain't got shit to do like Friday when the weekend begun Completely done with rap dudes, don't compete with the dumb I spill my blood for my people, see how deep it can run? I'm in the mood like Donte and Main Flow Never comin with the same flow, got it's change, yo It's strange yo, to make yo chain glow, that's yo main goal That's a facade like I'm somewhere over the rainbow Really these cats sweeter than mangoes, Mr Bojangles-ass dudes Dancin around the club, doin the tango Go hard like Iverson playin with hurt ankles Plus, wrestle the topic from a different Kurt Angle! [Hook: Talib Kweli] I wear the night like a cloak cause I move with the stars Navigate through the truly bizarre Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight I wear the night like a cloak cause I move with the stars Navigate through the truly bizarre Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight [Outro: Roy Ayers] Wow, that's a nice track!
