10736, Kweli's verse on Quik's LP
Posted by DonKnutts, Sun May-26-02 12:27 PM
from the song "Proem," also featuring Playa Hamm and Shyheim.

Did Kweli change it up a little for a different audience? You tell me.

Kweli, I rock the body and so forth and so on
You can get the dick
One to grow on or one to blow on
DJ Quik get his dough on
I spit-kick a flow on
Got swift sh’t I throw on
‘Cause I’mma leave with that float on
Plus I get my roll on like Baby and Mannie Fresh
After I go on y’all n’ggas’ll never bust like tantric sex
The universal n’ggas that represent the planet best
How I manifest from Brooklyn to Los Angeles
People!
We hold it down like wherever you from
Got my name all in your mouth like you pierced your tongue
Pimp the game so hard we leave them whores numb
The more come, Kweli, about to blow like George Young
I’m the Don Cheadle of rap
Dope like arms, needles and crack
My lyrics attack and arm ya people like (?)
In Cali studios we rest the heat up on the console
Peep Hollywood n’ggas who think we sweet like the Ponchos(?)
Claimin’ they gangsta and street like they lookin’ for beef
But with the gun in they teeth they just MC’s lookin’ for beats
Y’all don’t want trouble
We pop bubbles and flex muscle
N’ggas don’t respect your lyrics, they respect your hustle
The industry is like Kinko’s, making copies while you wait
And the people always fiend for ‘New Sh’t” like Clue tapes
Y’all speedin’ to ya fate, slow down like screw tapes
‘Cause as long as you rockin’ with Quik, n’gga you straight
