Kweli, Talib - Human Mic Lyrics
I exhibit characteristics of the average misfit
Who graduated from stabbing and grabbing a biscuit
It's sick and tragic how antagonistic we get
When it's no power go sour,
I seen him crossing a bridge by the masses,
Made in New York and the way that we talk
Make him an offer than you can't confuse
Come back later on after you've thought it over
Look out for shooters that we're popping up at the opera
The popular, adore his pain for the sins of the God father.
Popular music got 'em confused with killers and artists
I kill it the hardest. Competition dearly departed.
They feeling some sort of way 'cause my flow revealing the garbage
I'm making 'em throw it up. You just making the people vomit.
When it comes to this rhymin' I'm a legend like too common,
Make them acclaim my cover, you adapt the way you shot it,
The Amarretta, you're sweet as a girly drink,
Throw it back, coniac, I'm the best, you know that
You can have your own opinion, but not your own facts.
On track as the most prolific ever, the most consistently,
Vicious, New York can rip you, be ripping it like a shread
Some symphony hall shit, getting higher than your faucet,
Getting better. Drop a pearl every jam like Eddie Vedder.
Very fed up with self appoint and preserved us with past errors
That never seen their reflection when they're walking past mirrors.
They got bitten and now they're smitting with the taste of blood and ticking
They taking enough drugs for the sleeping and keeping it fucking and make it up.
Raise the bar and the waiters up,
Others hating, just confused, undergo the way to luck.
The eyes are the window to the souls and my shades is up,
Advocate for artists, regardless cause I got faith in us.
For the worthless who don't get paid enough
Take the bus, hands way too rough for the paper cuts.
As far as they're concerned from on the table on the way to love
Take a slump, feel it to raise a child, you got to raise it up.
Raise it up, raise it up, raise it up, take it up, take it up.

Talib Kweli - Human Mic
Talib is amazing , one of the illest hiphop mc
*Self-evident:* There is nothing easier to know than the truth of life, because it is life itself. It is nothing more and nothing less. *The Truth is the present, THE NOW.*
*D O* *N O T* see where this excerpt is from, if you're _close-minded._ *You'll not be ready for it.*
what does mean open minded?
Talib FTW
@Talib Kweli The line 'made a macrame of macabre' is hard as fuck, and i pretty good analogy to a lot of your more serious subject matter. POC is my favourite album of yours. It passed Reflection Eternal - you're still killing it. Looking forward to what else is to come!
Instrumental plzzzz
THIS IS HIP HOP...PERIOD!
It is truely infuriating to think that the world strays froms songs like these.Talib was able to capture Hip-Hop in it's purest and most raw form. To bring a song of this message with lyrics meant for Mt. Olympus AND make it melodious; Amazed doesn't even begin to explain my reaction to this man and his work.
Talib Kweli and Pharoahe Monch is still keeping my hopes up. They won't give up and as long as they make sick music and people like you and me still appreciate their music, the day might come when Lil Wayne tries to sell his crappy CD on Times Square while Monch, Talib etc enjoy their well earned success!
i agreee bra, Willow SMith is aight and my own cousin too...i toll him, yo cousin bra, you know? you got some good Power-U but dis new dude right here Taliban Quali owns you bra...you know not what i mean, na mean bra? am tellin' you... my Cousin? don't be gettin' da vibe...and even Willow SMith being the mad rapper dat he iz, he ain't got shit on denzel cause he ain't no king kong na mean??? fo' real, mad love and other stories might be a batman trade paperback and what not, but on the down low, when all's said and or done...i don't want dem low ass niggaz be copping up my shit or even biting on my style on no album...das what i toll my couzin and shit...for realz bra
another heater by the greatest Kweli thank you
needs more views
CLASSIC 101 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #NEEDMORE
Great music, great video. Dig the orchestration.
so freaking dope!
The best of HipHop bathong ba modimo HHHHHHH....
DOPE DOPE DOPE
Pure, pure, pure music !!!!!!!! Apreciate
This is an incredible music video
Beautiful!
Wow, he bit the FUCK out of Honors English "Cymbals on the Sidewalk" I had respect for Kweli but he a snake for this one!
PoC and Gravitas, the two most underrated Hip Hop albums last year.
drop a pearl every jam like eddy vedder
Still that old kweli dope ish...LUV IT!!
Dis song was on the intro in the game a few days ago
Nice...
you grip the mic and expect a check just cause you got verses but ya purse is a wreck shipped to a shape up artist because no longer are you the hardest and the hardest part of this is to remain underground when you know you want that cash become mainstream and watch ya talent fall fast, real mc's when they see you the brush pass but record execs love you cause you have no class, you a human dyke consuming fumes lackin tools and no forsight
from the track to the lyrics its all nice
For some rappers be spitting about that garbage having the market be flooded with all of that trash for it was said there were going to be a lot of false prophet and true enough there's a lot of them misleading the Mass ,but u Mr TK is who I consider the truth in building not destroying this of ours
Only ~100k views are you serious?
i know right but its also a good thing let the kids keep there pop music
for real
Its too good to have too many likes at this age....
For the REAL Hip-Hop Headz!!!
Excellent.
Excellent.
One of talib's best songs
One of talib's best songs
damn this song is dope as fuck, not only the lyrics but that BEAT! , RA really made a perfect video for it too
Whoa! I slept on him.
He should give that "I'm the greatest" hat to DOOM
good video nice tune
Anyone notice Illa Ghee at 0:05?
I noticed him
real N.Y hip hop.... GO IN!!!!!!
Truly one of the games finest..........
ALL 3RD EYE Have To Say Is PEACE TO THE 7, TALIB IS THE PURE TRUTH!
Love this guy :-)
I remember his performance at Black August, few years ago. The right side of speaker was broken but Talib Kweli was such a HUMAN MIC. He didn't even need beat!!
Now THIS to me is a PRIME EXAMPLE of who Talib Kweli is. Thanx 4 making this... truly.
Much respect to Kweli for dropping such a gem.. Hip Hop needs music like THIS to stay consistent.
What a relief that the REAL Hip Hop stars are STILL putting out good music. All of that mainstream noise is really "Hip Pop" (commercially mass produced propaganda in musical form that offers a vain and volatile illusion of Black American culture and life in general) - not true "Hip Hop" (urban poetry meant to stimulate minds and souls for uplift oneself and one's own community aka "come unity").
If you like Talib you will Love Venus, click on my Spoken Word-Music channel and subscribe! Much love and life to all. Peace!
Lyrical Emcees provoke thought. That's why they're not being played on the radio. Talib Kweli, R.A. The Rugged Man, Black Thought, Brother Ali, Mola1, etc ...
Why the fuck this song doesn't have more views??
Ok..umm. the lil kid swagmeoutbro is just a baby folks. He wouldn't have a clue as to what flow means, what an MC REALLY is, or how a Lyricist manifests infamy...FOH lil kid. Hip-hop HAS NEVER BEEN about money. HAS NEVER BEEN about fucking, HAS NEVER BEEN about not tellin the truth about yourself and your life. MC'S DO NOT HIDE behind cameras and bugotti's, and money they gonna have to pay back to record labels if their shit doesn't sell. I feel sorry for you lil kid. Your moms and 'em must not a known what real hip-hop was either...cause you sure don't know shit. ijs
This dude is the best since KRS-One... Kendrick is a biter....He can't fuck with Talib...This nigga is not for the average rap listener...he is a Lyricist, Hip-Hop artist, and more importantly, an MC (Move the Crowd..not EMCEE)!!!!
Goonsba Lewis Diabolic bodied him.
flow maestro
FUCKING AWESOME. love this shit, yes. BTW - Check me out. Beats&rhymes 4 free.
too cool.
Gtfo go back to your hip pop music or try country out that's probably more your style plus work on your grammar shit doesn't end with z.
Best work ever man . Hot damn
Name one? how bout Jay Z... in the song moment of clarity..
"If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be
Lyrically Talib Kweli" then goes on to say..
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
But I did 5 mill' - I ain't been rhyming like Common since"
you are an idiot.. learn hiphop.. lilwayne is pop not hiphop.
Nigga you don't know real hip hop!!!! Lil Wayne is one of the richest rappers out there my nigga, that means he got the best music cuz everbodyz buyin his music, name one real nigga that's buying this niggas music!!
Sway me out is clearly trolling as if you people fell for it. He's still a fucking joke though id like to clench my fist and bust out his teeth.
Holy shit! Fuck yeezus I'm coppin this album
all i can say is totally amazing!
Mr Green is in this video, does he work w Kweli?
I spy MR GREEN at 1:34
swagmeout you are a moron
Unbelievably lyrical.....
Real Hip Hop! Respect!
