[Intro: Talib Kweli]
One, two, three, in the place to be
You got the almighty Talib Kweli, BK emcee
It's the international, rockin' with Madlib
We got the Strong Arm Steady gang in the place to be
We got Chace Infinite, Self Scientific in the place to be, word
[Hook]
Blacksmith is running through your function
No need for interruptions or discussions, no
Welcome to a Madlib production
We listenin', but y'all really sayin' nothin' – no
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
I try to say the most, just to say the least
I try to stay the coast while I slay the beast
I'm 'bout to say my piece, you listenin' to Rita's voice
Speakin' is the People's Choice, Blacksmith is
The return of the Black fist, that's quiet
That's it, it's the Black Star, shout out to Black Dante,
Give me a call; the next time you watch the VMA's,
I'll be right there with the whole Rock Steady gang
Or making a fucking logistical nightmare
My niggas is right here at the speed of light, yeah
Soon as I send the signal out off in the night air
The sound that we makin' got them quakin' in they Nik' airs
We don't fight fair, I'll make your shit crash
Quit yellin' whiplash, you bitch ass (nigga)
Mad 'cause I'm faster and I hit the gas quicker
My squad cut like a glass of liquor, pass that
[Verse 2: Phil the Agony]
No matter the cost – we back at it, gat at your boss
Shoot to kill, splatter with force
Air force bubblin', blitz this shit
Fire like two sticks rubbing like this
No tricks, nothing is fake, I'ma ride – what you want?
Thin ice where you skate, when them niggas hate
I'ma say beat break, shake it off
Focus on what's important, but take a loss
Force the hand, this is Strong Arm feeding you
We're beating you, cut a nigga short like an interlude
Bars anonymous, I promise you this
One line will make you famous like Travis and shit
It's the S.A.S., you are now rocking with the best
All them other rappers lied to you, (nigga)
Yes, yes, it's still West, West
With my East Coast polly, Kweli, you got a problem with me
[Verse 3: Chace Infinite]
Steady Gang running the game, it won't change
Back to the days with Jordan's and gold chains
Fistful of dollars, fucking future top models
Through the knowledge, but we still poppin' bottles
Pushing like full throttle on the Interstate, trunk full
Of product, just to make a nigga's dinner plate
Gotta get this money for my daughter's sake, and I
Smoke a lot of weed, and plus a nigga gotta stay (What?)
Fresher than a motherfuckin' mannequin, you get
The point, like we was playing pickle with a couple javelins
Gimme a reason to stop speaking, and
Start niggas bleedin' in the mid-Los Angeles region
We the niggas that believe in lacerations and lesions
Niggas want a dick and get it this evenin'
Earn a song, James Lionel Train, greedy geniuses
Y'all niggas is mysteries, nothin' but phantom menaces
And we the niggas y'all love to hate
But see the homies from the East just raised the stakes
And we gonna get it in a major way
Blacksmith is the label, Strong Arm is the gang
[Verse 4: Krondon]
Shawshank charmaleon, six pack Benotol
Weeping in the bank, watching Robin Hood withdraw
Young orangutan gettin' niggas knocked off
You haul ass and get a trip to see Lou Rawls
I pour Henny from jewelry in my jacket, like linen
You don't think I got the hustle in me?
Roll with the real resis', you retarded
And winky is not the shit, he just farted
One trip, you motionless, you understand the kid got close
And we can get rich, the rice stay broke
King Tut, chrome in the cut like Morricone
Take off your head like the N.O. Superdome
The blacker the better, the greener the cheddar
We the new Dream Team, smoking more green, (nigga)
Jihad Jenkins, liberating like Abe Lincoln
Dizzling, dumbing out, minkin'
