Teef's Theme

[Talib Kweli]

I smoke the light bud watchin' Fight Club 'til I'm charged

Like a suicide bomber off the words of Bin Laden

My block got dark and mysterious movements

I make the rebel music that the murderous move with

Thief's theme, divine style like the Steam Team

My rhyme style got me flossin' like my teeth clean

I drop the kind of gem that make your mama eyes water

This destiny like Nas' daughter

Unfortunately, you met the predator that's stalking that's me

I do it Travis Bickle style like "You talkin' to me?"

Walkin' with me you see the hand of God to force an MC

Put it down so hard respect is like a boss in the street

Workin' so hard that I talk in my sleep

Brain still goin' still flowin'

Watch the lyrics spill I fill with ill poems

You 'bout to do it big we do it way bigger

Razor blade spitter

In the hood let my nigga Jae get ya

[J Hood]

In the belly of the beast came a rebel named Joshua

That always had intentions of blowin' and being popular

Know when cops get buck, chumps get shook down

With extra large shells now there go your critical breakdown

Contemplatin' on chips and your ice

But I hear pops saying "You gotta do something positive with your life"

I ain't your typical thug

Leave you drippin' in blood

From a long clip and a slug

Hollow tips in your mug

Peddlin' drugs, I've been immune to the drama

Expressin' my persona

Always raisin' up the scama

I'm [?] with four strikes against me

I'm the best ya'll dudes suck you still gotta convince me

Peep your boy drop knowledge

I ain't never went to college

But I can teach how to get verbally demolished

My flow polished with greatness

My flow wear glow my hooptie got a lean

And my bars done mean

My and Talib will show you how to spit it

Anybody could get it

Spectators, broads and critics

Don't be a statistic

Of the murder rate

Run up on ya, dim all lights, park and clap at your vertibrae

[Planet Asia]

In the hood we them new gangsters

Garage scientist gang

Mind walkin' with a treacherous aim

My strain potent

Alchemy outspoken

Out in the open

Spittin' flame will have my mouth smokin'

Powerful parts of osmosis

Gasses, liquids, solids, ashes

Transmute and my life flashes across

Free from disguise of falseness

But still I floss

Never see me rockin' crosses

With black heaters we rack cheetahs

Wrap cheeba

Black leaders all gathered 'round the black Jesus

It's gospel when I write it down rain hail snow

Earthquakes puts the faith back in my apostles

Revolutionary gangstas techs squeeze murder beef

K-I-N-G medallions

Most wanted come close to (speak)

Cowboys clappin' who carry no holster

Don't approach us

Cause that's when ya ending starts

Heard the truth was power without a fight might bend ya heart

Cause when the truth hurts -- that's when the cleansing starts

Once knowledge is born I hit ten men with darts

When the end is marked, I just settle the plot

And when I score I'ma make sure I'm never forgot

To every block, hood, ghetto and park

I spit it sharp

For the villains still running from Narcs
