Reflection Eternal - The Blast Remix Lyrics






[Erykah Badu (Talib Kweli):]
Yo
Ah ah ahhh
What's the matter with these damn emcees (I don't know)
Come on baby if you feeling me (Yeah)
Sit down with me, roll yourself a tree (Ugh)
Now what the hell is going on in the industry (I don't know)
Now don't the people want to feel the beat (Hell yeah)
We talk about it every time we meet (Yeah we do)
Would anybody like a cup of tea (Rock on, on on on)
Ba ba ba badum Badu

[Talib Kweli (Erykah Badu):]
It's the BK emcee (Kweli)
My rhymes is found in the veins
Of ghetto folks who surrounded with pain
Going to clubs drowned in the liquor
That's surrounding they brains
Wannabe thugs on every record
Got em sounding the same (Hell yeah)
Ever since I first came to put it down in this game
These people can't quite get there tongues around my name
It's all for the good I'm still the same with or with out the fame
But I'm saying the way you got my shit pronounced, it's a shame
(Umm umm umm) The first part is Arabic (Talib)
That means the student or the seeker
I never try to be no teacher or no preacher
I just reach you through the speaker
Never beat you in the head
Cause all that preaching to the choir
Yo it's dead, word (umm uhh uhh)
Then you got (Kweli), let me put you on
It means truth and knowledge from the people of the Akan
Reaching you through the song, got you rocking to the beat
Asking for Hi-Tek tracks
Stopping me in the streets (uhh uhh come on)

[Talib Kweli (Erykah Badu):]
Every body say it with me (Kweli)
Rock the party, my crew hot feel these two shots
Like the blast from a double barrel (shottie)
It's got to be my man HiTek and Kweli
Who make you rock your (body), start the party
My crew hot, feel these two shots
Like the blast of a double barrel (shottie)
It's got to be I got Badu rocking with me (Kweli)

[Erykah Badu (Talib Kweli):]
What's the matter with these damn emcees (I don't know)
Come on baby if you feeling me (yea)
Sit down with me brought your self a treat (uh)
Now what the hell is going on in the industry (I don't know)
Now don't the people want to feel the beat (hell yea)
We talk about it every time we meet (yea we do)
Would anybody like a cup of tea (rock on, on on on)
Ba ba ba baa badu

[Talib Kweli {Erykah Badu}:]
Yea you pronounce her name Badu (Badu), love it you got to
Some try to hard to be some try to hard not to
Be just who they is, what that means that they not true {uhh uhh}
A sister put it down, let me show you how I do (duu ehh uu ohh)
Chill oc cause we still drop the I'll hip hop
We stay true to what we do whether you feel it or not
When you see me rhyming or painting {uhh uhh}
I'm climbing I'm praying, I'm rising I'm surviving
I'm staying alive, y'all know what I'm saying
I come from a place where cats lust papes (Kweli) {umm uhh}
Love hate, be in the clubs late {yea}
All our beliefs crush grape (come on)
Steady rhymes takes bust ish straight
Upstate we puff grate and stay with the sticky like duct tape
Always pushing my self and steady knowing the ledge
Black man over 21 supposed to be dead (ohh uu)
Open instead cause I looked up in the face and laughed {uhh}
Give it a name money I'm having a blast (umm um ohh oo)
Ain't that right

[Talib Kweli (Erykah Badu):]
Every body say it with me (Kweli)
Start the party, my crew hot feel these two shots
Like the blast of a double barrel (shottie)
It's got to be my man HiTek and Kweli
Who make you rock your body, start the party
My crew hot, feel these two shots (hey)
Like the blast of a double barrel (shottie)
It's got to be I got Badu rocking with me (Kweli)

[Erykah Badu {Talib Kweli}:]
What's the matter with these damn emcees {Kweli} (I don't know)
Come on baby if you feeling me {Kweli} (yea)
Sit down with me brought your self a treat (uh)
Now what the hell is going on in the industry {Kweli} (I don't know)
Now don't the people want to feel the beat {Kweli} (hell yea)
We talk about it every time we meet {Kweli} (yea we do)
Would anybody like a cup of tea (rock on, on on on.)
Ba ba ba baa badu

[Talib Kweli:] Rock with us uhh [repeats]

[Talib Kweli:]
Every body say it with me
Rock the party, my crew hot feel these two shots
[Shotie:] Like the blast of a double barrel
[Talib Kweli:] Its got to be my man HiTek and...

    It's very difficult to put into words how this song makes me feel. I could remember the exact moment I first saw this music video, and fell in complete love with Hip Hop. I credit Reflection Eternal for sparking that love. This album ran through me like an electric current. And now, I come back 3, maybe 4 times a year to rewatch this video. To drown a little bit in Nostalgia. And remember a dope time in my life where I let good ass music mold me.

    This was the kind of music that make you think, while at the same time, make you have a good time, it was real, from the heart, filled with truth and soul, one part of the 90's and early 2000's I'll always remember back in my days of youth, when the real outweighed the bullshit

    Real hip hop is still here it's just underground again this was wen hip hop was mainstream

  43. t.... ....

    This was my shot back in the day

  44. N.... ....

    This is so nice i can`t even put it into words!

  45. N.... R....

    Holy shit it's been years since I've heard this. DOPE. Glad Pharoahe Monch was in this music video, he's one of the greatest lyricists Hip Hop has ever seen, Kweli is also dope, High Tek is also really underrated, a true MC (which sadly seems to be a dying breed) who doesn't get nearly enough credit.

    I'm always listening to Underground and mostly non mainstream Hip Hop, but this was before the music industry went to complete shit and ruined mainstream Hip Hop with cookie cutter material and garbage lyrics. 

  46. 2.... ....

    What's happened to real music😢?? Please come back🙏 we miss you🎼🎶
