[ Featuring Talib Kweli, Goapele ]
Turn it up, turn it up!
Can you feel the buzz? Feel it in your love (Yeah)
Can you feel the buzz? (Uh) Feel it in your love (Metaphor, that's what's up)
Can you feel the buzz? (Oh, no, that's what's up) Feel it in your love (Wild child, that's what's up)
Can you feel the buzz? (DJ Rome, that's what's up) Feel it in your love
Some niggas be samplin' the same ass shit
Some niggas be loopin' up the played out hits
That's more for me plus the peeps I'm down with
We strive to create some way out other shit
This for my people who grew up starin' at album covers
The sons and daughters of dust, our mothers proud of us
From Johannesburg to Palestine to Calcutta
These mouth breathers, mad cow-eaters could never outrun us
Devout brothers, the mothers call us rhyme-sayers
When I'm on stage my mouth utters divine prayers
It's like a reflex, you lames respect the rejects with the defects
The people got it twisted like Keith Sweat
The record player been queued up, since long before Ella Mai was boo-ed up
'Cause music's my true love
Born outta hardship, and made for those who go through it
So all the gangstas I know, they love soul music (soul)
From rotary connections memory band, unless we can
You rockin' with the Bobby Blue Bland
Felix Hernandez on Saturdays when I'm cleanin' up
(Howl Jackson?) on Sunday mornings the deeper cuts
True master builders racing houses with master teachers
Bumping Hugh, master (?) with the score to Seraphina thumpin'
Ohio Players then Grace Jones, Jamaican guy
Bumpin' that Bobby Caldwell, "Open Your Eyes"
Joe Sample, "All My Wildest Dreams"
Bill Withers (?) from Isaac Hayes to Grant Green
Roy Ayers to James Brown and his famous flames
Roberta Flack to Donald Byrd to Bob James
Inherited my fathers records now I know the classics
Come to the show if you want to see the GOAT in action
Promoters askin' if I'm showin' up with Otis Jackson
They scared to look us in the mugs like we soul assassins
Cold!
Make me come alive, make me wanna fly
Got me feelin' high each and every time
Feel it in your love
Can you feel the buzz? Feel it in your love
Can you feel the buzz? Feel it in your love
Makes me loose against my heart, loose against my soul
Runnin' through my veins, I can't wait to feel alone
You're forcin' all your friends, make you commit a sin
You're forcin' all your friends, make you commit a sin
Do you recall the things that you...
