Lyrics Talib Kweli

Talib Kweli

Hush

Action and words dripping off the tongue

Something like the flash of a The glass half empty, let me pour you some

The glass half full cause there's more to come

Jammin' on the 1, ja-jammin' on the 1

Take a deep breath now expand your longues

The breath is the life and it just begun

I thank God for the morning, so, now look here girl

Where you goin'? Come here girl, let me holla holla holla at ya

Yeah, and thrown a couple dollars at you, c'mon

I get paid baby doll I'm a star

You can tell by the make and the model of my car

That's the game these young niggas kicking

Dumb niggas tricking but some niggas listen, look

All that whack shit they spillin' in yo' ear

I don't need none of that, you just feel it in the air

Hush - Cause you're sounding like a lullaby

You're making me tired, so

Hush - Ya' damn game is so weak

It's putting me to sleep, please

Hush - Haven't we heard it all before?

Damn from all of y'all, so

Hush - A motherfucker can only take so much

I wish that you'd just hush

They say it's all about your market and the best way

To reach the audience is to target and to profit from

You know I'm used to reach a higher form of consciousness

That still inspire dancers that's working for $20 tips

Rappers ain't pimps bruh, they acting like chimps

Nah, King Kong ain't got shit on me like Denzel Washington

A marijuana cocktail is the drawl mixed with the chocolate

Bubbling like bong hits from white kids at college and

You about to knowledge the strength of street knowledge kid

The fact is spit for everything I gotta get

You ain't gonna like it if you got problems well honest shit

I don't like to break my promises so I don't fuck with politics

The classes cause I ain't had no scholarship

Now I come to speak, they give me honorary doctorates

Could it possibly be that I got a degree at rocking this?

Stop it all, born and prosper like Dr. Spock with it

Hush - Cause you're sounding like a lullaby

You're making me tired, so

Hush - Ya' damn game is so weak

It's putting me to sleep, please

Hush - Haven't we heard it all before?

Damn from all of y'all, so

Hush - A motherfucker can only take so much

I wish that you'd just hush

Corporate thugs selling whores and drugs

All up in the clubs get to fall in love

Addicted to the life, high off the buzz

Here now there ain't no ignorin' us

Rawkus, you feel it in the Touching it with words cause a master did

And plus, I ain't on the grabbing shit, it's like this, word

In this life every find the right type

In the mix like Jack and Coke with limelight

Funny how we do wrong things to get the mind right

Vision blurry now but it's 20/20 in hindsight

I don't make the singalong shit, get the rhymes right

I'm nice, I'm sharper than any barber that get the line right

It's in the bag and I'm tagging em, getting markers

It's the shit starter on the hit artists like Chris Parker nigga

Hush - Cause you're sounding like a lullaby

You're making me tired, so

Hush - Ya' damn game is so weak

It's putting me to sleep, please

Hush - Haven't we heard it all before?

Damn from all of y'all, so

Hush - A motherfucker can only take so much

I wish that you'd just hush
