《NY Weather Report》歌词

[00:00:00] NY Weather Report (Amended Version) - Talib Kweli

[00:00:07] Come on yeah

[00:00:11] I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everybody

[00:00:14] Who been ridin' with me so far

[00:00:16] It's been a long journey

[00:00:19] But they say your life's path is not about the destination

[00:00:21] It's all about the journey

[00:00:23] I appreciate y'all

[00:00:25] It's my blood sweat tears years of struggle love hate fear

[00:00:30] New York City you can make it here you can make it anywhere

[00:00:34] I came prepared for the rain hail sleet snow

[00:00:38] Whatever the weather we ride let my people go

[00:00:40] To the place where knowledge is born

[00:00:42] We walkin' in the third eye of the storm check it out

[00:00:45] Futuristic lyricist straight from the renaissance

[00:00:48] Top of the supper chain rap's upper echelons

[00:00:50] My people sufferin' slave to another chain

[00:00:53] This voyage is maiden like my mother other name

[00:00:55] Is this your first trip to hell We venture capitalists

[00:00:58] If it's a product then we got it for sale

[00:01:00] When I first started to spell my words fell into rhymes

[00:01:03] Turned into songs everything else fell into line

[00:01:05] I painted pictures you could see the people bleed in my bars

[00:01:08] When I was a teen I was mean about to reach for the stars

[00:01:10] So if I fell I fell right in the cloud tighten the valve

[00:01:13] Niggas is watered down used to be no bitin' allowed

[00:01:15] Now they gangstas no cryin' allowed

[00:01:17] You probably see a fight on the stage before you see a fight in the crowd

[00:01:20] I send this out to my people facin' the storm homey we ridin' it out

[00:01:24] You inspire what I'm writin' about

[00:01:25] It's my blood sweat tears years of struggle love hate fear

[00:01:30] New York City you can make it here you can make it anywhere

[00:01:34] I came prepared for the rain hail sleet snow

[00:01:38] Whatever the weather we ride let my people go

[00:01:41] To the place where knowledge is born

[00:01:43] We walk into the third eye of the storm check it out

[00:01:47] It's the third eye of the storm

[00:01:49] It's the third eye of the storm

[00:01:51] It's the third eye of the storm

[00:01:54] It's the third eye of the storm

[00:01:56] Check it out (ha ha ha ha)

[00:01:58] Check it out (ha ha ha ha)

[00:02:01] Check it out (ha ha ha)

[00:02:05] We ain't f**kin around (uh uh)

[00:02:06] I'm not a judge but I'm handin' out sentences

[00:02:08] For political prisoners and regular inmates with no visitors

[00:02:11] Niggas in the street outside the reach of the ministers

[00:02:14] Not those that say "spiritual " but actual partitioners

[00:02:16] Rap listeners who be openin' Black businesses

[00:02:19] This underground sh*t with samples that lack clearances

[00:02:21] Once you get past appearances you can tell whose sh*t is fake

[00:02:25] Or whose sh*t is based on past experience

[00:02:26] You really been to war hand to hand like crack sales

[00:02:29] Building man to man they tryna kill off the black male

[00:02:32] Females left to raise up her son from the day he was one

[00:02:35] Til he twenty and he raise up a gun

[00:02:37] And get to blazin' for his place in the sun

[00:02:38] The smoke grazin' his lung young in his years and he facin' a ton

[00:02:42] None of his peers wanna share the role of child care provider

[00:02:44] But they'll hit a ni**a blunt and share saliva

[00:02:47] You ain't a rider and you hustlin' backwards

[00:02:49] Too many equate success with imitating these crackers

[00:02:52] So our kids lookin' up to drug dealers and rappers

[00:02:54] We takin' all the work away from the Black actors

[00:02:57] Revelation is first and Armageddon is after

[00:02:59] Tsunamis and hurricanes natural disasters

[00:03:02] The fast food culture speed is always a factor

[00:03:04] Instant gratification they want the catch faster

[00:03:07] It's my blood sweat tears years of struggle love hate fear

[00:03:12] New York City you can make it here you can make it anywhere

[00:03:16] I came prepared for the rain hail sleet snow

[00:03:20] Whatever the weather we ride let my people go

[00:03:23] To the place where knowledge is born

[00:03:24] We walk into the third eye of the storm check it out

[00:03:28] It's the third eye of the storm

[00:03:30] It's the third eye of the storm

[00:03:33] It's the third eye of the storm

[00:03:35] It's the place where knowledge is born

[00:03:37] Check it out (ha ha ha ha)

[00:03:40] Check it out (ha ha ha ha)

[00:03:42] Check it out (ha ha ha)

[00:03:45] Talib Kweli

[00:03:46] That's what it is break it down

[00:03:51] Paranorm I perform through a storm
