Текст Talib Kweli – The Venetian

Intro — NIKO IS & Ab-Soul:
Ay yo, we like 39, 000 feet up in the air and shit like that
Just ride the wave
Niko, what’s up

Verse 1 — NIKO IS:
I do this shit cause I want
Man, don’t need no reason
Started out at the Bodega
Now we at the Venetian
So Brazilian, but the clothes Parisian
I just do my thing and write like a king man I’m Stephen
These rappers Mr. Fantastic to me, they be reachin’
They poetically describing their gats
That they never squeezin (pow)
Pardon me I’m starting to see

Even a snake infiltrated the garden of Eden
Spartan Demeanour (Yo, keep it 3 hunnid)
?
that counterfeit
Probably with that Alchemist
Free myself then I only see myself like Malcolm

Hook — NIKO IS:
I do this shit cause I want not cause I need a reason
Started off at the Bodego now we at the Venetian
Started off at the Bodego now we at the Venetian

Verse 2 — Ab-Soul:
(We need to build to destroy, you know what we about)
I had a dub sac in my bucket, rolling round like fuck it
Now I pull up in a luxurious something
With nothing less than an onion

Verse 3 — Talib Kweli:
Let’s go
Squadin’ up and the crew is tough
Cold and frozen the chosen, like I got Jewish blood
Commit like institutions
I married to my music
Women in my life are gettin’ jealous, because is my truest love
Get my eyes on the prize, cause my lyrics are like the pupils
Murdering the verses
I am Like Persus to Medusa bro
Better ?
But angels are falling like Lucifer
How could see coming ?
this discussion is to much blood
Academic fellowship even my mellow shit is super tough
Not the fellowship of the ring ?
I am a follower of the freestyle fellowship then niggas knew their stuff
I’m a student of ?
Long pieces of Jupiter
But nowadays rappers are duper
Swearing to God their were blowing up
I soon I take the stage
Niggas ?
like a super cut
Immediately ?
?
And n- getting tough

So I chew it up
Spit it up ?
And I throw it up

Hook
