Talib Kweli – Fly Till I Die lyrics
It's Talib Kweli in the place to be Brooklyn
Most definitely ya know what I'm sayin' Mount Vernon
And Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth (true) the brothers who brought ya
Escapism, Return Of The Mecca, Straighten It Out, The Creators
Yeah, right about now we about to make history

The track make you nod like smack through the needle
Niggas don't sell crack 'cause they evil
America's build on the backs of my people
Cats say they packin' the heat but they actin' like Chino
'Cause when it's time to bounce it back they fall back in the fetal
I went from crashin' the beat in the passenger seat
Drivin' like many straight trees don't even mix Coke with the Henney
Flow with so many styles ladies open all night like Denys
24 hours party people soakin' in the Remy and Cris'
The video is directed by Benny and Chris
Treat a pager like a website with plenty of hits
I tell 'em this, you gotta be at least a dime for a piece of mind
I deal with quarters and keys just like a leachious mind
I like mature girls just now reachin' they prime
Know how to conversate to the man and don't eat no swine
If you ready to roll than we can rock shit
A nigga so cold he hot

Pete Rock murderville keep the joint on smash
See the don come through and upgrade that cash
Talib Kweli he can speak to the mass
Why the great minds think alike cause we keepin' it fly
See we keepin' it fly 'til the day I die, and you can't deny
Son we keepin' it fly how we keepin' this fly
Better master your eye 'cause we keepin' it fly
Bring it back to life

Psychedelic we sell it and niggas jealous fellows
Go get your hate up get your weight up I'm tellin' you straight up
You need to turn that frown upside down you use less muscles
The smile is easier than it sound, it's true
Lookin' all crooked I tell these dudes
They should Straighten It Out on a Pete Rock track like C.L. Smooth
See we livin' in the Matrix way before the movie
Kids fiendin' 'ore the camera screaming, just shoot me
We 93 million miles away from the sun
But you still feel the heat when we practice the way of the gun
Like Taye Diggs raise kids to escape the slave ships
Instead they wanna pump weights not the state
Better exercise take from work the rest get left inside
And whips chicks and kicks money we specialize
I be the respirator so hip hop is kept alive
So many niggas buggin' me I need a fuckin' pesticide

Pete Rock murderville keep the joint on smash
See the don come through and upgrade that cash
Talib Kweli he can speak to the mass
Why the great minds think alike cause we keepin' it fly
See we keepin' it fly 'til the day I die, and you can't deny
Son we keepin' it fly how we keepin' this fly
Better master your eye 'cause we keepin' it fly
Bring it back to life

You put light back to life 'cause these rappers ain't actin' right
Thinkin' they cut like Mack the knife, you have to fight
Battle right through the afterlife
'Cause when you die make you look way past the light
And hind sight I drop the type of rhyme
To give the blind sight, sparkle a shine bright like lemon lime
Sprite up in the limelight, yeah
As we still at the track you feel it when the chorus tack
You deal it twist a cap back with a skillet official would kill it
This is fake the way we seal it as the great Pete Rock and Kweli
Got heat to make your chicks knees knock to Pete Rock my life
It's the soundtrack other niggas sound wack
Like white kids tryin' to sound black
I spit on mics wet up the essence where L drowned at
This Guerilla Monsoon Rap first comb rap
Soon rap come through a crossroads, and all these lost souls
Will send out distress signals like Morse code

Pete Rock murderville keep the joint on smash
See the don come through and upgrade that cash
Talib Kweli he can speak to the mass
Why the great minds think alike cause we keepin' it fly
See we keepin' it fly 'til the day I die, and you can't deny
Son we keepin' it fly how we keepin' this fly
Better master your eye 'cause we keepin' it fly
Bring it back to life
