The Quiet One Gotham (Talib Kweli & Diamond D) (Ft. Busta Rhymes)

[Chorus - Talib Kweli]
What have I become
I was never the quiet one
Been the voice of the people for my entire run
From 1991, that's when I begun
Professional I get deep as a leviathan

[Verse 1 - Talib Kweli]
We need to vibrate higher, we spiritually half awake
We like the guy on the couch who be getting you half baked
I'm a New Yorker, I be seeing a literal rat race
These Nazis still want to give us the literal gas facе
They not satisfied with all of the niggas thеy castrate, son
It's criminal, these racists addicted to blackface
These rappers actors that deliver considerably bad takes
With pauses so pregnant they physically lactate
These niggas is fake, and they stayin in lyrical last place
It's a miracle how Diamond be diggin through mad crates
But churches are locked for criminals have faith
The streets sizzle when they move in the thizzle like Mack (?) Dray
The visual? Fake tennis shoe with the fat lace
'Cause I'm from Gotham, the home of the original Batcave
People screamin' like they Onyx, delivered the last days

[Chorus - Talib Kweli]
What have I become
I was never the quiet one
Been the voice of the people for my entire run
From 1991, that's when I begun
Professional, I get deep as a leviathan
Archie Bell & the Drells, how we tighten up
We talkin' bout practice, Alan Iverson
