Gutter Rainbows

Talib Kweli, yeah, hey, get with it, get with it

Here we go, here we go, come on, come on

Here we go, here we go, come on, come on, yeah

Blacksmith, it's the movement

Keep it moving, keep it moving

Here we go, here we go, come on, come on

Here we go, here we go, come on, come on, yeah

Blacksmith, pay attention,

Gutter Rainbows, yeah

Watch me flip it like the

Blacksmith logo

I shine a light through the darkness when the night is black as

Yaphet Kotto

All these rappers looking mad in photos

Saddest player braggadocio quality make up for all the lack of promo

You say you blast a fo-fo, you don't shoot

It's more like you shot me an email but forgot to attach vocals

Call 'em a bastard like they dad a no show

I'm too fast for slow pokes running on the track with

Yohji Yamamoto

This ain't fashion rap,

I'm bringing the passion back

Find me where the trouble at that's my natural habitat

I take it with me in the booth

To deliver real respect to the dead, we only owe the truth

So if somebody feeling disrespected

Even when his face is smilin' his heart rate escalatin', violence

Lookin' for trouble, juggling drugs

Using, abusing, beautiful struggling, used to be bubblin'

It's the voice of the voiceless, hope for the hopeless

Spit game way too real, they don't promote it'

Cause the way

I approach it from another angle

I stay in the streets and notice the gutter rainbows

It ain't no pot o' gold, it's where the product's sold

It's where we lock and load and cop the rock and roll

So turn it up loud and turn it up now

Turn it up loud, turn it up now

Welcome to my 'hood where the rainbows is in the gutters

The pain that you will discover is making the angels shutter

There's sex in the city but we never claimed to love her

I know you heard of us we're more murderous than

Cain famous brother

Living with death, smoking blunts with the

Grim Reaper

Snitch niggas known to blow the whistle like a gym teacher

This gum flapper, swear he a gun clapper

Nah somethin' backwards, he really a dumb rapper

The trap on the corner with the oil spilling

Mixed with the dirt and the water collected in the gutter 'til the colors brilliant

I paint pictures so legendary

I been doing this, your history is as short as the month of

FebruaryIn a leap year, what do we fear?

Dead bodies lying on the ground, nothing to see here

Be clear, don't ever cross me like police lines'

Cause libertarians will be not invited to tea time

It's the voice of the voiceless, hope for the hopeless

Spit game way too real, they don't promote it'

Cause the way

I approach it from another angle

I stay in the streets and notice the gutter rainbows

It ain't no pot o' gold, it's where the product's sold

It's where we lock and load and cop the rock and roll

So turn it up loud and turn it up now

Turn it up loud, turn it up now

Feel that warm whip around the building to form a corner tornado

Finding nature in the city, we cover our feet in

GatorsBugatti's to bodegas they selling rotten tomatoes

Stacking chips and

I don't mean potato, there go another one

Graduated from quarter waters and

Butter Crunch

Tuxedo nice with a gun tucked in his cummerbund

He get it from his mama, he ain't nothing but his mother's son

She used to get it popping like bubblegum

Peddling poison was often better employment

The ghetto destroying any sense of self she was enjoying

Survival of the fittest by any means necessary

Got us calling drug dealers revolutionaries

You say he kill his people, he say

I feed my family

And you ain't kicking in, you'll never understand me

You just stand in my way, now you an obstacle

And obstacles end up in the hospital

It's the voice of the voiceless, hope for the hopeless

Spit game way too real, they don't promote it'

Cause the way

I approach it from another angle

I stay in the streets and notice the gutter rainbows

It ain't no pot o' gold, it's where the product's sold

It's where we lock and load and cop the rock and roll

So turn it up loud and turn it up now

Turn it up loud, turn it up now

Turn it up now

Turn it up loud

Yeah, break it down like

G-g-gutter rainbow
