You're Gone

[Produced by: Statik Selektah]

[Intro: Colin Munroe]

I'm right, you're gone

I'm right, you're gone

I'm right. you're gone

I'm right, you're gone

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]

Start up a party like arsonists start a fire

Sharper than barb wire, lyrical jambalaya

I'm nice like Stoudemire with the rock

Peep it I'm the sheppard, they admiring the flock

Niggas is sheepish, secretive, so mysterious

Claimin' that you're Blood, but you're really on your period

Claimin' that you're Crip but nothing is wrong with ya

We'll except you're real dumb, you fucked with the wrong niggas

Man fuck it my songs is thicker than catalogs

Walk towards the light, shine so bright you need a parasol

They try to laugh, rappers dying faster than ants under the magnifying glass

This is iconoclast, find a lab everywhere I go

Leave faces on the flo' everywhere I flow, ?

The beat is knockin' but the information make the speakers blow

They keep it on the low

But I know my people need it though

[Hook: Colin Munroe]

Just don't call me evil

And don't call it ego

And I'm right (I'm right)

And you're gone (you're gone)

It don't mean I'm evil

And don't mean it's ego

Cause  I'm right (I'm right)

And you're gone (you're gone)

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]

Yo, the flow is maple syrup

Take a tour of Europe

So I can make a buck, make it plural

Cakin' cause I'm taking Euros

Instead of dollars I invest in better products

Man, experience a better college

I still connect with scholars

Even though I'm still in these streets, I'm like a local expert

You'll blog about me on your social network

There ain't no fairytale, ain't no glass slipper, no Cinderella

The education real like ? in the favela

Developed to where my pen is my favorite weapon

It's all Brooklyn, I'm a Warrior like M.O.P. and game rebellion

My name is (Talib!)

My name is mentioned with the greats

You already know the name

Pay attention to the face

This the face of the music to feed your mind and your body simultaneously

The evolution of the brainy MC

They pay a fee so you respect the hustle

The way I write got extra muscle

Work it out

[Hook:]

[Verse 3: Lil' Fame]

Yo, I'm stuck in analog trying to go digital

Fizzy Womack, 'nificient, work miracles

Up in Statik crib, ShowOff

Back in the days you get your motherfuckin' head blown off

Take this German coat off

Nugget watch bitch, piece and your herringbone off

Hop in the Cadillac Seville and roll off

I get down like a niggy in an up north flick

Green and white shell toes you know the up north kicks

I'm alive with aggression

I ride with obsession

We made it through the 80's

Shit I'mma survive the recession

Government, you find me in a pinch

Suge Knight record deals, fuck it, sign me in the pen

One of my sons favorite rappers is aaaah

Next up is Talib

But guess what, my son's first name is Kwe

Mo mo mo P, keep the blazin' the chrome

With Statik Selektah, Population Control

C'mon

[Hook:]
