Yeah Forever M.C. Talib, Lupe

Rozewood

It's a magic sound

[Verse 1: Hus Kingpin & Rozewood]

Yo, metalize eyes, I please guys in clouds

Trim solos, bazookas and hoses when I wrote this

Wide lotus, my Zodiac sign, design by the guards

Written by the masters, follow my path to Damascus

Full claim out your face line, it's Wavy time

Ayo Roze, these ****** is in front of my waste mind

I wanna know who die and made you supreme leader of the free world

Deep as a sea pearl, a thousand leads untouchable

I'm doing star dances, I'm advancing on speaking truth

C*****e barrier of walls laws a wayvo

Big Gutlaw overflow your mouth display gold

Whacks poetic, street cracks the chemist

Combine all elements, you straight outta the delicate

It's Rozewood and Wave Lord squad, you [?]

I tongue-kissed my swarm I'm circlely starts

[Verse 2: Forever M.C.]

They said I failed that day, when I left from school

Got to learn to follow, before you learn to rule

But I made my way, they say that life is cruel

I fight on both ends, that's what we call a duel

As a kid growin' up, I would bump Lupe

Got that Food & Liquor, sit back and press play

Then close my eyes, and start dreamin' of the day

When I'd move to the groove, and be talkin' to Sway

'Cause I'm spitting and flipping, and ripping killing that s**t

And then I'm wittingly fitting, and getting p***ies to quit

They're admitting to sitting and ********, can't even spit

I'm committing to hitting, and now I'm pitting my whit

Your girl is sipping and stripping, and dripping begging for tips

I was shipping then twitching, then switching dropping these hits

I was itching from ditching, they hitching rides on my ship

No committing, no splitting, I'm pitching, **** off, you *****

[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]

Close your eyes, what do you see God?

My people be going through up and downs like a seesaw

Meanwhile, I be doing this since a knee-high

When I write gospel, just like the truth in the book of Levi

My criticism instructions, be lingerin' up in these mobs

The system here to **** us, I'm tinkerin' with the design

These ****** Uncle Ruckus, they want us to think they deep, nah

My people fight for justice, before we put up the peace sign

No justice, no peace, let it rain on my enemies

Imagine what a pain, be a stain on your memory

Tryna keep up, but you ain't got the energy

My flow is too sick *****, you ain't got the remedy

Nah, little boy used to wakin' up with the bad wet

Retire, your career has expired, you need some bad rest

Culture vultures pick at our flesh, and we ain't dead yet

Avoid him like the plague, wearin' the mask of the Red Death

Lupe, what ya say?

[Verse 4: Lupe Fiasco]

Yeah madness in desire, like a world on fire

Put a soul on ice, like a North Pole night

I let it go once, but now I hold on tight

They thought that I was gone, but I came back twice

Rain catch drink that, came back to life

Lost that, fall back, came back with light

And even though it's changed, it still feel is the same me

The feeling of a bad bag on a bag knee

And that's the pain, that you paint 'til you can't see

But that's the burden, that you bare 'til you can't be

And that's the price, that you pay 'til it ain't free

And put the evil in the prison where he can't leave

They mad at us, 'cause we ain't cared when they laughed at us

We laughed, we ain't scared that they mad at us

They want to wonderland white rabbit, lab rat us

But we ready for Armageddon in the math-afters

If you like me then you ready to the last chapters

Then all over again from the past backwards

And you humble 'cause you have answers

But your spirit like a Black Panther's

You know the world is a mad campus

But it's the brighter side if you have lanterns

You know it sick, and they can't stand us

But we got the remedies for they cancers
