[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Empire State rap, yeah
New York City
Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens
Manhattan, Staten Island, Long Island (Yo, yo)
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
From the start though, darker than a episode of Narcos
Be smart, don't follow the rabbit like Donnie Darko
It's Brooklyn, my niggas rock more Polo than Marco
We keep our queens laced, more shoes than Imelda Marcos
Keep a mean face like, "You don't want no problems"
Too many rap niggas be talking to the 5-0
They leaking more secrets than Trump at the Mar-a-Lago
We on code like Fred Hampton out of Chicago
Free the land, free the man
To feed the fam, we jumping on the Peter Pan
We'll meet again 'cause I don't need you if you don't see the plan
I been doin' this since 1992 (C'mon)
At The Building and Jarobi had to sneak us in, me, Rubiks and JuJu
Listening to L-Swift, A-Butta and Mr. Voodoo
On Stretch and Bobbito that Natural Elements was the jam, man
Yo, yo
[Chorus: Talib Kweli]
Make 'em live for Diamond D specifically
Now you was hatin', money, keep the same energy (Keep the same energy)
Ayo, it's tragic how these men spill they guts in my lane
They just bugs on the windshield (Splat)
Going splat on the highway
MAGA hat rappers out here acting like Kanye
But you ain't made "Jesus Walks", nigga
But y'all ain't ready for that discussion, c'mon
Empire State rap, yeah
New York City
Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens
Manhattan, Staten Island, Long Island (Yo, yo)
