[Talib Speaking:]
I Ain't Out 2 Diss Nobody
But We Gon Keep It Real 4 A Second

Talib Kweli

Niggas Lie A Lot, Niggas Lie A Lot
Niggas Lie, Niggas Lie, Niggas Lie A Lot
I Know U Think U Nice,

[Verse 1:]
This Is Why I'm Hot

Every Rapper Is A Clapper
Your Producer Is A Shooter

[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Ok, U Say U Rap
U Know How I Can Tell U Whack
It's 2007 N U Still Sellin Crack
Back N 1986 When We Was Shootin Over Sneakers
Crack Was King But Now They Slangin N It's Drastically Cheaper
It Ain't A Real Demand There Ain't No Short Supply
Just The Same Old Crackheads Getting Twice As High
These Niggas Like 2 Lie On How They Kill On Corners
They Still Corny, They Don't Know What The Real New York Is
Faster Than A Rose N Crime Inner City Drop
It Wasn't Cuz The Mayor Added 40,000 Cops
U On The Corner Like ?Wow, My Style Is Pretty Hot?
But My Style Mile Is Equal 2 20 City Blocks
Most Say New York Is Soft
It's Softer With The Beef Shit
Niggas Can't Separate The Music From The Street Shit
Man That's Some Weak Shit
Them Niggas Never Classic
Remember Bastards
