Experience Dedication

[Intro: Dave Chappelle]

This is Nelson Mandela

I represent Johannesburg, South Africa

When in Africa chilling out

I listen to Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek

Reflection Eternal

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]

Yeah, yo Tone we celebrating; get your brother in here

Raise your glass up (raise it up)

Yo, this goes out to everybody who was down with us

Since "Fortified Live" to "2000 Seasons", "The Manifesto"

From 1-9-9-5 to 1-9-9-9 to 2000

All of y'all I got one question:

Are you ready? Hell yeah, say "c'mon"

To all my people where you at?

Put your fists up

We gon' twist up, say "c'mon, c'mon"

[Chorus: Talib Kweli]

Experience the "Train of Thought"

Hop aboard, c'mon

Experience rocking with the Re-flec-tion

E-ternal, c'mon, yeah

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]

This dedicated to everybody who came up to me

And who came up to Hi-Tek after the shows

We came to your town you showed us love (one love)

Everybody would ask us when the album was coming out

And I said "when it is finished!"

Ayo, ayo I'm on the grown

This is for y'all, one love!

All the political prisoners, social prisoners

Freedom fighters, graffiti writers, grassroots organizers

(Raise it up) All y'all

Everybody in the spot, everybody say "Real Hip-Hop"

(Real Hip-Hop) Say "Real Hip-Hop" (Real Hip-Hop)

Yep, like that

[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]

All the black families hustling

Single moms, single dads in the house

Parentless children, we see y'all, I'm with y'all

All the ballers, players, revolutionaries, gangsters

We don't represent the streets

We represent the folks in 'em!

(Uh-huh) Whether you're materially rich, spiritually rich

Yo, yo, yo-yo-yo

I'ma send this out to all my comrades in this music:

Spit Kickers, Native Tounges, The Soulquarians

Wanna battle, yeah

The beacons of light throught the dark tunnel

A lot of stars is trekking

Ain't nothing final about the frontier

"Train of Thought" came to take you there, yeah

"Train of Thought" came to take you there, yeah

The "Train of Thought" came

[Chorus: Talib Kweli - fade out]

Experience the "Train of Thought"

Hop aboard, c'mon

Experience rocking with the Re-flec-tion

E-ternal, c'mon, yeah
