Talib Kweli - Human Mic

I exhibit characteristics
of the average misfit
Who graduated from stabbing
and grabbing a biscuit
It's sick and tragic how
antagonistic we get
When it's no power go sour
I seen him crossing
a bridge by the masses
Covered in the ashes
of both towers
Made in New York
and the way that we talk
Make him an offer
than you can't confuse
Come back later
on after you've thought it over
Look out for shooters that
we're popping up at the opera
The popular adore his pain
for the sins of the God father
Popular music got 'em confused
with killers and artists
I kill it the hardest
Competition dearly departed
They feeling some sort of way
'cause my flow
revealing the garbage
I'm making 'em throw it up
You just making the people vomit
When it comes to this rhymin'
I'm a legend like too common
Or the Chupacabra the way
I move it together
it's how I knot 'em
Make them acclaim my cover
you adapt the way you shot it
The Amarretta
you're sweet as a girly drink
Throw it back coniac
I'm the best you know that
You can have your own opinion
but not your own facts
On track as the most prolific
ever the most consistently
Vicious New York can rip you
be ripping it like a shread
Some symphony hall shit
getting higher than your faucet
Getting better Drop a pearl
every jam like Eddie Vedder
Very fed up with self appoint
and preserved us with past errors
That never seen their reflection
when they're walking past mirrors
They got bitten and now they're
smitting with the taste
of blood and ticking
They taking enough drugs
for the sleeping and
keeping it fucking
and make it up
Raise the bar and the waiters up
Others hating just confused
undergo the way to luck
The eyes are the window to the
souls and my shades is up
Advocate for artists regardless
cause I got faith in us
For the worthless
who don't get paid enough
Take the bus hands way too
rough for the paper cuts
As far as they're concerned from
on the table on the way to love
Take a slump feel it to raise
a child you got to raise it up
Raise it up take it up
take it up take it up
