Kweli, Talib - Radio Silence Lyrics
[Talib Kweli:]
I know, we back
We home, let's go
I know, we back
We home, let's go
Check it out
Born this way, the universe wasn't formed in a day
Praise the lord and pray, we the children of God
Better learn how to walk this way
Try to walk with faith, but it's hard
What more could I say?
I feel I'm cursed, so I talk this way
Gotta write what I'm livin' in graffiti
It's the hood hieroglyphics
So I'm lookin' for a wall to spray
You could picture me holdin'
You could never picture me foldin'
Refuse to beholden to your racist image of a Black man
Kiss my entire colon
Great mind, even though the legacy is stolen
It's all for the silver and gold
You can tell you in the ghetto from the litter in the road
Man this middle-of-the-road shit really getting old
Which one is the Real You?
I don't know it's still you
How can I tell if you under a spell
Did the Fake You kill you?
Better pass the mic in the afterlife
If so let me spit flows
Good enough to offer to God as a sacrifice
Born again like I passed away
Castigated for being honest
Caught bail like a Castaway
Because I feel like I'm swimmin' on an island
When I'm gettin' introspective: that's radio silence
When I'm fuckin' up program directives: that's radio violence
[Amber Coffman:]
You were the one who wants to slow me down
I'm a criminal when you're around
What makes me think you would love me?
What makes you want to attack me?
[Talib Kweli:]
Born this way, woke up like this
The midpoint between science and religion
Is tryna find out what the meaning of life is
October 3rd, '75, my birth is a blessing
Ain't no spoken word could ever describe how the flow get better
I live on the edge, I'll send you a postcard
Fuck a phone, I got a chip on my neck that's a close call
Turn the lights off, see how we glow in the dark
Or we growin' apart or tryna survive the flood like we in Noah's Ark
We battin' down the hatchets and we set sail
Tryna get far away from inhalin' them chemtrails
My intel says they makin' people out of the stem cells
The gun's our sunflower seed - we love to spit shells
When them super soakers get let off it don't end well
I ain't know you like to get wet, dog, like Denzel
They hype it up like marketers, sparklin' like a fish scale
Till' you chasin' a high like Captain Ahab after that big whale
It's criminal
[Amber Coffman:]
You were the one who wants to slow me down
I'm a criminal when you're around
What makes me think you would love me?
What makes you want to attack me?
[Myka 9:]
Born this way, Capricorn, L.A
On the day of January 15
Dr. King his dream torn from a warm womb
Formed from the clay existing
Shifting from the essence uplifting in the presence
Just drifting, gifting through this mortal coil
With mystic lessons from the sage
California spoiled a blessing
Blissed up my first breath in outer space
I kissed death in the face
No identity complex, it gets left in its place
I'm proud to say no aborted torment to my rejection
Miffed, dismayed, and somewhat befuddled
I struggled to hustle and come up when the blood corpuscle boils
I'm pressin' issues, its business that's mixed with pleasure
It's plizness to play and get paid
During this clone war for dna
You should know more about the donors confessing my dulah from prenatal
I'm off fire, water, elixir of liquor, with soft or hard core drugs in my system
Sicker desire to be delivered wisdom
Pour black white sexy texture of lovers like jungle fever
Wild zebras to make this fetus brother
The son of my father, I want to hear my one Shawki
And my daughter Aja lecture selections in musical meters
In physics you should explore and visit more
Exquisite shores and districts, take a breather
Believe in your epic eye memory
You are descendant of natural leaders extended from before the nephilim
Bethlehem, even eden and mu testaments heaven-sent
Energy, books, messages read them scriptures
Look at the various sizes of giants in Egyptian pictures
Stonehenge endured the mathematics of Mayans
And megalithic structures evidence frequencies vedas
We're just the latest reproduction created out of pure star dust And made in his image but God is greatest!

Kweli, Talib Radio Silence Comments
Isnt that Common?🤔
Jay Elec dope.....
Best song on this album
AMERICAN GODS.... THE NEW GODS
Classic Reals....
Thought Jay Elects verse was done by Common.
Who was touching that Jay verse in 2017 tbh?
Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah we made it this far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kweli killed this shit
Soular vibes. Supreme wisdom and knowledge of self lyrical content. Salute to kweli and j.e.

Hip hop needs these kind of songs thank you , Talib.
I have to calm down. Just always remembering I'm tethered to this earth plane
Yummy bingham talib kweli all that dopeness💯💯💯💯💯
😍Yo B i see you
2018 this music is more educational than all of today’s tv programs, radios dont play such music. I find it extremely difficult to understand how they play a song about a dude having a sexual affair with another dude’s wife. Since when was that hip hop.
TALIB IM ROCKING WITH YOU TILL DEATH, pac, big, yasin bey, all yall. Im stilm stuck in the 90s music scene.
Thanks Kweli.
produced by Samuel Truth!
Open yout third eye 1111 have a jice life yall peace love and jnity we are one ! Peace to the black god jay elec

G.O.A.T
WHY DON'T THIS AUDIO HAVE A MILLION VIEWS AT LEAST??? DAMN THIS GENERATION IS STUCK ON STUPID
Beautiful song n Assata Shakur is so inspirational.....
Genius!
Jay Electronica you're a bitch ass nigga
Was having a bad day until I heard this. Pain brings prosperity, how you can touch so many with words is a blessing
Jay is something very different! When he raps it broadens the mind. Talib is the Malcolm x of rap, calling it how he see it. This is genius!
THAT VERSE FROM JAY ELECTRONICA ....MY GOD THATS GOLD....COOL CALM AND COLLECTED!!!!!! I FELT THAT ALL THE WAY OUT HERE IN AFRICA......DAMN THAT IS SOUL....THESE DUDES ARE THE REASON WHY I WONT BUMP THE TRAP SOUND....#LONG LIVE CONSCIOUS RAP &R.I.P TO THE NEW SKOOL
je ne peut que continuer a combattre pour la liberté des hommes et de mes frères a travers le monde ! PEACEEEEEEEEEEEEE.................................................
this is low key one of the best jay elect verses ive ever heard. talibs is really good too but i have no clue how jay made the connections he did. its beautiful.
Jay Elec blessed mother Earth with another Verse . . .
who is speaking in the start of this video
Love this tune
Haven't heard Yummy Bingham since she was on that Lupe song over a decade ago.
We, The Real Hip Hop Delegates would like to Thank... Talib Kweli, Yummy Bingham and Jay Electronica
This and ATCQ albums should both be nominated for Grammy's but...
timeless, infinite
I tarried through the turbulent month of Ramadan
Sweating all through the night just like the Holy Prophet
Then reappeared on the stage in BK with the Ummah
Shoulder to shoulder with J Cole and Kweli
Just before Jehovah the God crowned me the king with his goldie locket
Alhamdulillah, we've come really far, ain't it?
The little engine who could, could power any car can't it?
The mothers in Chiraq say the murders getting burdensome
The cries of the despised was heard flying out of Ferguson
The last days and times
The holy Quran and Bible we on the last page and line
The verse with all the babies dying
Outside of the matrix, inside of the spaceship but the savior's blind
Or so it seems, years after Noah was told he would row upstream
The heavens bursted and the rains came
Retaliation for the sons of the fathers who worked the chain gangs
I hit that shmoney dance on the coffin of a crooked cop
In a Worldstar society where all we do is look and watch
No intervention, policemen beating elderly women with evil intentions on the highways and the byways
The police state be sprayed into the backstreet to the driveways
Officer friendly is an enemy now, looking at me sideways
Shit was all bad just a week ago
The view was just as sad just a peep ago
The cries of the asiatic ancient-semitic peoples that propel Jay Elec from the pedestal to the steeple
He on some Pac shit.... 💯💯
Patrick Mccrary 🤨
What WE need RIGHT NOW.
Touches my soul. For real
It’s about time Jay Electrónica returned and blessed us with a verse.
One of my favorite songs right now
" In a Worldstar society where all we do is look and watch" - I felt that
I'll probably bump this at the age of 80, too ill!
My fav track on the album. I listen to this song every damn day 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best track out in the streets SO FAR..some Tupac music!!
I needed this. Good for the soul💪
Alhamdulillah peace to God Jay Elect!!
Maybe someday we will get a Electronica album....not holding my breath though....unfortunately
Just too good a track
“The cries of the Asiatic Ancient Shemetic people’s, is what propel Jay Elect from the pedestal to the steeple”... Well done Jay Elect! HalleluYah
They call him Jay Electronica.. Fuck that, call him Jay Elec-Hannukah, Jay Elec-Yarmulke, Jay Elect-Ramadan, Muhammad as-salaam-alaikum RasoulAllah Subhanahu wa ta'ala through your monitor!!!
My Uzi Still Weigh A Ton, Check The Barometer
Batuhan IŞIN boom
I know Talib Kweli and Jay Electronica would be fire
This straight 🔥
Talib Kweli... the most underrated rapper of all time!!!
MICHA Israel one of them fo show!
This is the first time that I’ve ever heard this song but... I’m going to say it right now... THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!!! I’m 38!! Salute To Talib and Jay Elect for this CLASSIC!!! Shalom
MICHA Israel I AGREE BRO I'M GONNA BE 38 N A MONTH IN SHAA ALLAH...HIP HOP JUGGERNAUTS
Agreed!!!
Ain't heard Yummy since the classic Lupe tapes
Chris Larusso Her voice on De La's "Much More" made me a fan. Love her voice
hottt!!
nice honestly but im not so keen on the squealy voice sample
Speechless....
Can't stop listening to this.
Damn every time I hear Jay Elec flow he reminds me of Killah Priest! His voice and his knowledge, vocabulary, very similar. I really think he inspired him, in a good way
Brendan M you say the same comment several times about Jay sounding like priest. We get it man.
S/O Queen Assata Shakur
Unified Africa life Ghadaffi did sad that half the planet still thinks he s a evil dictator
Yummy has such a lovely voice
Roena Williams yummy remind me of vinia mojica
Do we have a right to stop excessive police force ?
Who do we call when the cops are the ones almost beating us to a pulp
We should be able to intervene injustice as a whole no matter what your role in society is.
JAY AND KILLAH PRIEST SHOULD LINK UP...
Sea Thizzo absolutely king
word they're so similar
Wow! Simply beautiful, blessings to these Kings. -KoolBRZ
Blessings
Glorious
Two underrated God MCs
Jay is actually highly rated.
Funny how he signs for Roc then Jay-Z tries to get conscious on is with the 444 album sounding like Elec in many ways
Together we are stronger separated we are not.
I think Dame Dash had a lot to do with the inspiration of they album.
hov been dropping conscious stuff for years now😂 ...he just didn't make a whole album of it until now.
I thought the same thing when that album dropped. In fact, you can see something similar with a lot rapper/label owners and their signees. Can't say for sure what it means, but it's interesting.
Talib Kweli is a beast on the mic
"I hit that schmoney dance on the coffin of a crooked cop".
FriendsWit DaDealer geez!
Had to wipe my sweat like Obama in that meme
how much pressure we need to put on Jay Electronica to get a fucking album?
This song touches the soul.
This beat is just beautiful. And their verses compliment it like only the best can. Wow. So, so, good.
I’m a believe again in Jay elec again! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Allah the Allmighty..... The Merciful and Just. May the strength of the All strengthen us All
We all know that jay electronica is better then every other RAPPER already no shit
Big Dog not everybody knows only the real ones
Thanks for the music Talib
Jay elect is the best poet of our time but a waste of talent, smh Peace to the Gods!
Nice work..
You mean to tell me that hanakkuh madonna nigga j electronica came from under that rock?
This right here is why Jay Elec is the 🐐
I needed this
Jay the God !!
Jay Elec, The wait is On.....
Jay Electronica murdered his verse on this joint.....now this is real HIPHOP..........not all that bullshit from d likes of Drake, Future, lil wayne, Migos, Cardi B, & all that trap music & shit............!
Thank you Jay
Love this song! Talib And Jay Elect are gifts from God with lyricism and substance. Glad to hear jay back tho.... What was he saying in Muslim language in his verse tho? Refreshing lyrics from both.
Chauncey Hale he said all praise is due to Allah
this song is perfection
