Turnt Up

[Intro: Talib Kweli]

Ayo, Fed—whassup, bro?

Whassup with me? You know what's up with me, man

I'm trying to get paid in full

Check this out, right

Since Javotti is the label

And I'm talking over this def beat right here

I think we should turn it up

We got my man (Tr-tr-Trend on the beat)

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]

Thinking of the master plan

Where there’s nothing but cash inside my hand

Wanna dig into my pocket my prophet is heaven sent

I dig deeper, you know I represent, represent

Yeah, money over bitches, my sisters go over everything

My bandz will make you dance, I'm forever like a wedding ring

Far above the hate and, the jealousy that the cheddar bring

Trying to get away from the 85ers like Evelyn

Ride with me, I got ‘em leaking like Nene

Got ‘em leaking like Wiki, these monkeys biting like hickeys

Cause they’re seeing what I’m doing, filling them with confusion

Cutting just like a truant, I’m fluent just like a student

Of the romance languages, only the diamonds hang with us

My meal is decorated with garnishes just like your wages is

The crib’s outrageous like really it's no joke

The girl of your dreams be coming over to smoke loud

[Hook: Talib Kweli]

Turn it up loud, turn it up loud

Turn it up loud, turn it up loud

Drop it, stop it

With all the soap operas and the soap boxes

Turnt up, turnt up, turnt up, for the people

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]

You can feel the heat from your speaker, my sound will darken your features

Run it down like a zebra, I move with the speed of cheetahs

I’m from Brooklyn where the heat is the size of a two-litre

I ain’t asking for no followers, I'm looking for new leaders

Is hard not consuming all the bullshit they feed us

Intravenous like a cord to the womb from the fetus

Been hard since I started reading, alliteration is literally littered

Through my DNA swimming all through my semen

So every time I bust, babies begin being born

Talk turns tough til them toasters that's tucked get

Drawn like a picture, picture a perfect painting

Police profiling people peacefully praying

Lay the law like leaders the lazy is lollygagging

On my grind getting guap, guess green is the new black

Meet me at the bar, we throwing a few back

Hopped out the car, you know who blew that loud

[Hook]

[Bridge]

Ayo we drink good, smoke good

These cats wearing funny hats like the pope would

I come in looking quite clean in the loafers

So hood might scheme up to no good

You no crook, Gosling in the Notebook

I got the birds on the wire like I know I Wood

I still rep P.O.C.s like I'm supposed to

Coming live from death row like I know Suge

My rhymes like a laser beam - so focused

I’m in the ring, so lean I need a foam cup

I ain't lying, bare teeth so ferocious

Maybe I’m lying bare feet in the ocean

On the beach fall asleep and I'm floating

To the beat so unique like a potion

I love music, I’m complete in my devotion

(Word, say it again)

I’m complete in my devotion

[Hook]
