Lyrics Talib Kweli – Let It Roll
Text:
Yeah man, I’mma get me a boat
Ride that bad boy down Nostradamus, man
Let it roll, coming at waves
Let it roll, coming at waves
Let it roll, coming at waves
Yo, I love the way it feels, man, it feel good
Yeah, this track got a feel, man, it’s real good
Got the ill melody but it’s still hood
You know the deal
Yo, I never let up, keep it flashier than old-school get-ups
Got it crackin’ like old-school leather
Reminiscent of a more wholesome era
I would ask a little girl if we could go together
Little Stevie finish, read the harmonica
Archie and Jughead, Betty and Veronica
I learned life ain’t a comic though
No, put away the toys a long time ago
New name for the studio is Kweliwood
Jolly good flow, getting gnarly as the naughty would
Back and forth on the stage with Yasiin
Call our group what Garvey probably would
Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would
But baby, you know I gotta get that paper
Let it roll, coming at waves
Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would
But baby, you know I gotta get that paper
Let it roll, coming at waves
All my language is romantic
So let in, I don’t even know Spanish
Most tyranis rapper on the whole planet
I’m the one who was never supposed to be here
Now I’m the one the haters see, let’s be clear
Yeah, bet now you remember me
Give you a reminder cause you act like your memory
Lost like Dory while you off finding Nemo
Talking you a boss, you as soft as Brian Eno
Tellin’ all these stories, why you lying to the people?
Why you fronting like you want it but you rhyming kinda emo?
Tryna find a needle in a haystack easier
Than tryna find a leader in the mainstream media
Never knowing where we headed
Til we’re following each other off the cliff like Lemmings
Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would
But baby, you know I gotta get that paper
Let it roll, coming at waves
Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would
But baby, you know I gotta get that paper
Let it roll, coming at waves
