Everything Man Talib Kweli

[Spoken Intro: Sonia Sanchez]
I don't...
Remember the first time I heard Kweli
I don't remember what I was doing
There were no remembered witnesses to my doings
But it seems like I've known him, forever
He who has, moved through mornings and midnights
Through, deaths and dawns
To document our bones our blood our lives
Listen, listen to his exact wings
Strumming mists from clouds
Listen, listen a man always punctual with his, mouth
Listen to his, revolution of syllables
Scoping lightning from his pores
Keeping time, with his hurricane beat
Asking us to pick ourselves up and become thunder

[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Yeah, they say you can't please everybody...
Let's go! Yeah, ay, they ain't know what that sound like
Feel the heartbeat, feel the heartbeat
On your eardrum, we got a new heartbeat
Feel the heartbeat, feel the heartbeat
On your eardrum, we got a new heartbeat

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Yo, what becomes of a dream deferred
That never makes it to the world to be seen or heard
Do it breathe? Do it got a heartbeat? Is it alive?
Do it leave only to become a star in the sky?
I believe, no scratch that I know, this ain't my full potential
Only usin' 10 percent of my mental on instrumentals
But incidentally my, energy heavenly
Can he be so ill there ain't no, pill or no remedy
The maker of memories posess the recipe to your fate
Make no mistake there ain't no escapin' your destiny
Especially when, 'til death do us part, like wedding rings
I'll be here forever, put that on e'rything
