Back Again

[Intro: Talib Kweli]

Yes, original rhythm, the drum beater

Hi-Tek in the house, Kweli in the house, yo

[Hook: Talib Kweli + (Res)]

(No matter where you're from

I will always be in your corner)

Yeah, New York to California

The way we do it is fluid just like water

(No matter where you're from

I will always be in your corner)

Life got a way of sneaking up on ya

The way we do it is fluid just like water

[Verse 1]

C'mon, beat on the drum like bang-bang and tryna maintain

The same frame of mind while the game change

I know you sick of the same thing, we're different so

Stop sticking the needle up in the same vein

The definition of insane, my theory is Big Bang

We hunting for big game, the quick changeover

Got the rappers confused, Tek back on the board

Kweli is back in the booth, let's go

[Hook: Talib Kweli] + (Res)

(No matter where you're from

I will always be in your corner)

That's right, we back again

You can like rap again

You can say that again, word

(No matter where you're from

I will always be in your corner)

That's right, we back again

You can like rap again

You can say that again

You can say that again

It's independent hustle, it got me on my grind

I flex my pen like a muscle and write a battle rhyme

I got to exorcise; I got to get the ghosts out

I got to testify, the legend never die

I'm connected to the struggle, got a little light

And this little light of mine I'm bout to let it shine

I get better with time

So right when you about to say something real slick you like never mind

I stay grounded like airplanes that never fly

I still never come down, I'm forever high

My addiction is American as Devil's Pie

We stay where the snitches live and the rebels die

Men and women might try, numbers never lie

But I'm too fluid, there's no unit that I'm measured by

The nighttime when the ghetto come alive

And the artificial die like Yellow No. 5

[Hook: Talib Kweli] + (Res)

(No matter where you're from

I will always be in your corner)

That's right, we back again

You can like rap again

You can say that again, word

(No matter where you're from

I will always be in your corner)

That's right, we back again

You can like rap again

You can say that again

Don't it sound African how the voice and the track just blend

The hands get to clapping and, the feet get to tapping and

The power I'm tapping into, it never was accidental

In fact, what a rap ascension to what make Hip Hop so special

You check my Hip Hop credentials, I'm on like I'm rap's potential

It's what I've been sent to do, the task is monumental

These wack emcees make me laugh like Comedy Central

Rappers be acting gassed, it's really not a big issue

They'll lose their bodily tissue, cause something hot just hit you

Just for waving off the nigga tryna politic with you

He's like I gotta get him, I'll try to politic with him

Man he tried to front, that's what he want when these shots hit him

Bet you he change his mind, better learn how to read the danger signs

Try to take my spot, get a number, wait in line

Try to skip, no, get to the back again

Yeah, we back again, you can like rap again, word

[Hook: Talib Kweli] + (Res)

(No matter where you're from

I will always be in your corner)

That's right, we back again

You can like rap again

You can say that again, word

(No matter where you're from

I will always be in your corner)

That's right, we back again

You can like rap again

You can say that again
