Let It Roll - Talib Kweli

Yeah man, I’mma get me a boat

I’ma ride that bad boy down Nostrand Avenue, man

Yeah, let it roll, coming in waves (wave, wave)

Let it roll, coming in waves (wave, wave)

Let it roll, coming in waves (wave, wave)

Let it roll, coming in waves (wave, wave)

Yo, I love the way it feels, man, it feel good

Yeah, this track got a feel, man, it’s real good

Got the ill melody but it’s still hood

You know the deal

Yo, I never let up, keep it flashier than old-school get-ups

Got it crackin' like old-school leather

Reminiscent of a more wholesome era

I would ask a little girl if we could go together

Little Stevie finish, read the harmonica

Archie and Jughead, Betty and Veronica

I learned life ain’t a comic though

No, put away the toys a long time ago

New name for the studio is Kweliwood

Jolly good flow, getting gnarly as the naughty would

Back and forth on the stage with Yasiin

Call our group what Garvey probably would

Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would (stay here I would)

But babe, you know I gotta go get that paper (stay here I would)

Let it roll, coming in waves

Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would (stay here I would)

But babe, you know I got to go get that paper (stay here I would)

Let it roll, coming in waves

All my language is romantic

So let in, I don’t even know Spanish

All I know is I’m scorched to the Puritans

Most tyranis rapper on the whole planet

I’m the one who was never supposed to be here

Now I’m the one the haters see, let’s be clear

Yeah, bet now you remember me

Give you a reminder cause you act like your memory

Lost like Dory while you off finding Nemo

Talking you a boss, you as soft as Brian Eno

Tellin' all these stories, why you lying to the people?

Why you fronting like you want it but you rhyming kinda emo?

Tryna find a needle in a haystack easier

Than tryna find a leader in the mainstream media

Never knowing where we headed

Til we’re following each other off the cliff like Lemmings

Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would (stay here I would)

But babe, you know I gotta go get that paper (stay here I would)

Let it roll, coming in waves

Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would (stay here I would)

But babe, you know I got to go get that paper (stay here I would)

Let it roll, coming in waves

Let it roll, get bold

Big Daddy Kane style never gonna get old

Spit flows that invented cause of skid row

Tiptoe when you enterin' the zip code

Pistols, brandish it, we never hand 'em in

Accessory to crime got 'em handling the shenanigans

And the hand God brings like the Mandarin

Ugly sense, picking Polo rugbies off the manequin

Woo, now I’m feeling like the new wave

Like I’m two days deep into my blue phase

My baby hate that I’m living out of suitcase

Like I forgot to tie the knot like the shoelace

Let me be your liberator

Get yourself together, we gon' see each other later

You could be my love or you could be another hater

Why you frontin' tryna run from all this deviant behavior like

Yeah, Whisky Boys

Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would (stay here I would)

But babe, you know I gotta go get that paper (stay here I would)

Let it roll, coming in waves

Girl, I’d like to stay here, I would

But babe, you know I gotta go get that paper

I made some time, for you
