Testo Ain't What You Eat But The Way How You Chew It - Delbert McClinton feat. Glen Clark
Testo della canzone Ain't What You Eat But The Way How You Chew It (Delbert McClinton feat. Glen Clark), tratta dall'album Delbert And Glenn
Yeah, this that new Kweli
I'mma give it to you before the bootleggers get hold of it
You know what I'm sayin'?
I figure I put it out first, make some money with it
Why not, right?
Okay, one two
Yo, I'm Brooklyn like the '90s
Brownsville and Bushwick, keep it grimy
But I'm from Flatbush, that's where you'll find me
At Brooklyn Tech with Justin and Sadat
It's Free and 'Cif from Do or Live
You always catch me with JuJu and Rubix, we were truant kids
Dollar van nuisances
Jump out, run, and never look back
Mr. Man kept a hammer in his book bag
Rubix introduced me to Blak and Forte
D.J. Enuff on Avenue K, I go back a long way
With Supernat in Washington Square, freestylin' every day
Performin' at Lyricist Lounge with Adolf and Jean Grae
Fuckin' with Mood, that's how I met Hi-Tek
Black still came in effect
When Elijah gave our tape to Mos Def
Reflection Eternal was next on deck
My crew the best and we proved it
We knew our music was the vanguard of our movement
Every Rawkus release was bangin'
They on the come up
They was like, "Fuck the radio"
'Til Pharaoh said, "Get the fuck up"
And Flex listened
Jared and Brian's next position was
Right about now, we need the Radiohead written
Meanwhile, I hit the road on tour to support the record
Since the day it was sold
Corey had me followin' the example of De La Soul
Common and The Roots, to me, these the sickest niggas
Get my figures with The OK Players and The Spit Kickers
Rawkus got a deal with MCA, this the gray area
The letters stood for Music Sematary of America
They tried to fool you by switchin' the name to Geffen
Now they Interscope's bitchin'
Every artist who had a chance left 'em
Ain't no big surprise, wasn't no love there
Jimmy Iovine never signed me, I just kinda ended up there
But fuck that, literally it was my way or the highway
Hit the road, peeped the Beastie Boys, I toured Europe with Kanye
Gotta thank him for the love on the album
I knew out on Electric Circus
He get it by any means necessary like Malcolm
I dropped a single, shot a video, took control of my situation
Got a label poppin', it's a celebration
Your boy Free, I had to get out
I put you on, this is where I'm at right about now
And if you sayin' it's my time, you right about now
This what's goin' through my mind right about now
Ayo, ayo, it's time to ride about now
And if you lookin', you will find him right about now
I put you on, this where I'm at right about now, yeah
This what's goin' through my mind right about now
Yo, ayo, it's time to ride about now
And if you lookin', you will find him right about now
That's right, bitches, Talib Kweli
One of the baddest motherfuckers you ever seen
That's right, bitches, Talib Kweli
You now rockin' with the best, I said it
The best, the best
That's right, bitches, you now rockin' with the best, the best
Talib Kweli
Where's, where's my snares?
