It's fuckin incredible.

...is my basic statement/ I spit street stories til I taste the pavement/ Tryin' to stay out the penn where we face enslavement/ Had a full-proof hustle til they traced the payments/ I was grippin' my palm around some shitty rum/ Tryna find some number one fifty one/ To forget what I'm owed, as a clutch the commode/ Its time to put down the bottle and come get the gun/ Lets get off the chain like Kunta Kente with a Mack 10/ They want us gone like a dollar in crack den/ Steadily substractin' seeds and stems/ Mind clouded from the weez and phlegm/ Now take my brain off of that and the jesus hymns/ If we waitin for the time to fight these is thems/ They tellin' us to relax, while they ease it in/ We gettin greased again/ The truth I write is so cold it'll freeze my pen/ I'm Boots Riley its a pleasure to meet you/ Never let they punk asses ever defeat you/ They got us on the corner wearing pleather and see through/ All yalls are gold mines and they wanna deplete you/ I ain't just finna rap on a track/ I'm here to clap on them back/ And its been stackin' to that/ 500 years before Iceberg ever leaned back in a 'Lac/ Before they told Rosa 'black in the back'/ Before the CIA told Ricky Ross to put crack in the sack/ Til' Gil Scott traded rappin' for smack/ This be the launch of your platinum plaques/ I'd rather see a million of extatic to scrap/ Cuz if we smackin' em back/ We're automatically stacked.
^^^Its a killer verse. One of the best in years.

What's most impressive is that Kweli had a strong verse and Thought had a killer verse... and Boots still killed both of them. Just a hell of a song I've been bumpin for months, and the great thing is the rest of the album stacks up as well.

that's what I was gonna say.. it's not often that BT gets topped on a track... but Boots definately delivers one of the best verses i've ever heard right there..

500 years before Iceberg ever leaned back in a 'Lac/ Before they told Rosa 'black in the back'/ Before the CIA told Ricky Ross to put crack in the sack/ Til' Gil Scott traded rappin' for smack/ This be the launch of your platinum plaques/ I'd rather see a million of extatic to scrap/ Cuz if we smackin' em back/ We're automatically stacked.

17. "Verse correction!!" In response to Reply # 16
I just read it again in the liner notes and I got some of that part wrong. Here's how it goes (its even better now):
500 years befo' Iceberg ever leaned back in a 'lac/ Befo' they told Rosa "Black in the back"/ Befo' the CIA told Ricky Ross to put crack in a sack/ And Gil Scott traded rappin' for smack/ This beat alone should get platinum plagues/ I'd rather see a million of ecstatic to scrap/ Cuz if we bappin' 'em back/ We automatically stack...
