Joy Talib Kweli (Ft. Yasiin Bey)

[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Woo, yeah
On top of the world
Yeah, that's how my seeds got me feelin' right now
On top of the world
Yeah, you ever felt like you could do anything? (Yeah)
On top of the world
Amani Fela, Diani Eshe, I'ma hold y'all down for real (Got you)

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
It was 1996, 4th of July, looking off in the sky
Dealing with thoughts inside, when something caught my eye
It was a silhouette of a beautiful woman, bright with life
Carrying my first seed, looking like she gone bear fruit tonight
We at the African street festival, and she walking around
Talking about the midwife, said that bring the baby down
I'm about to be a father, the sights and sounds seem brighter around me
And for starters, I know I'ma work harder, word
We got home at three in the morning, I was beat
Them contractions started coming as soon as I fell asleep
3:05, like every five minutes, then the water broke
We ought to go, yelling at the cabbie, 'cause he's sort of slow
You know them hospitals all trying to get paid, no questions
Here come the doctor's with they drugs, trying to do c-sections
But my baby stays strong, in labor for yay long
Eight-pound baby boy, to carry my name on, joy
