Did Ya Hear That, Talib Kweli? Video (MV)

When holding a cellphone
While black in your own home
Gives modern day klansmen
Hard-ons from hormones
We have a f*cking problem
I said, we have a f*ckin' problem

You mad at these statues
You mad at these bad dudes
You know all the facts, true
The odds are against you
Reactions entrap
Thru theatrically backed "facts"
That zap so fast and
Smack the back of the skull - Crack!

It's maximum impact
A "change up the game rap"
Like Ether for diss tracks
Or this song for dope raps
Twist it, flip it
Get the max facts
Jam packed in a stack and
Shoved in your back pack
I can't stand racists
But my favorite star is still black

Did you hear that, Talib Kweli?
Did you hear that, or should I repeat?
Did you hear that, Talib Kweli?
Did you hear that, am I speaking clearly?

Just like an MC
I will speak simply
Will you even understand
If I speak slowly?
Let me break it down so you understand completely
Neatly, Even to a beat, G
Put to bed discreetly
You cannot defeat me!
You are not a genius
Lower than my penis
Aborted Greene fetus
Jesus... Please just leave us
Low T Kweli? Rest in pieces

One hot album, every 20 years average
One half lame, and the other half savage
Too bad Mos Def did all the f*ckin' damage
I guess Talib's job was makin' dude sammiches
Yeah, that's the only way that he's ever stacked "Cabbage"
Or even better, "Cheddar" on extra white bread
I'm using small words, since he's not well read, and
Judging by his net worth? Not well fed!

Did you hear that, Talib Kweli?
Did you hear that, or should I repeat?
Did you hear that, Talib Kweli?
Did you hear that, am I speaking clearly?

Instead of telling people how oppressed they are
Why not be a real black star?
Show them how to go farther than sixteen bars?
Tell them how to build a business that'll grow hard?
Like a man locked behind bars...
Why not raise them up?
Is it cause it's too hard?
Ha ha, ha ha
Why not teach them how to be
Jay Z, Kanye, or Talib Kweli?
Or to spread your message virally
Like Suge Knight, stickin' Easy E?

Because...

You're the kind of dude who only talks problems
Mad about it too, but doesn't wanna solve them
Words on wax vs words online
Check it for yourself
Peep his twitter one time
It's so played out, this race bait bullshit
But this says it all: No number one hits
For Talib Kweli...

Did you hear that, Talib Kweli?
Did you hear that, or should I repeat?
Did you hear that, Talib Kweli?
Did you hear that?

Mos Definitely
