Talib Kweli - Every Ghetto Lyrics
Yeah man
So I start looking out the window
I see gun store, gun store, liquor store, gun store
Where the fuck are you taking me?
We bout to lift it up
We never givin' up
The startin' salary, it's hard reality
Find solidarity
We got our leaders too but where they lead us ?
Do they leave us or they see it through?
Yeah we packin' precious metals
Our shit is next level
We raise the threat level
They way too used to the missed meals
Hard to concentrate, hard to sit still
Murder rate permanent place in the top 10
We live here, these hipsters drop in
You hear them barrels cockin'
They say consciousness mean a nigga ain't rugged
Until they get beat within an inch of it
Self made niggas don't get discovered
They actin' like you owe 'em somethin'
Homie I don't owe you nothin'
Fuck your beef
It's way too early in the mornin' for the hate
You ain't brushed your teeth yet nigga
And your toast ain't buttered
A perfect storm and the coast is flooded
Most discovered that my flow got 'em
You posers sound like [?] stuttered
Man I'm goin' too fast, let me slow it down
I'm good walkin' in every ghetto around the world
The hood often embrace ya when you profound with words
I say the shit they relate to, I keep it down to Earth
Other rappers sound like they hate you, them niggas sound absurd
So when they walk through the ghetto they get their chain snatched
They gotta talk to the ghetto to get their chain back
It's like an open air prison and it remain packed
Nothin' but straight facts
[Rapsody:]
Indie 5, for the people by the people
Ya-ya, giddy up, who got the juice now?
Snatch it out your kiddies cups
The shit you gave us watered down
This one's for Basquiat
They be brushin' with death, uh
Is this The Art Of War for cops?
We double-dutchin' duckin' shots
Every home ain't got a Pops
Every man ain't sellin' rocks
A different will to win here
Different from switchin' cars
They pray that we switch our bars
To a fiend from a metaphor
Worldstar, Worldstar
Lotta love and this life hard
Keep us prayin' like "oh God"
Illegally thievery think us peelin' off easily
Frustrated we hate it
That's why we scream out "nigga we made it"
It's an odd future they ain't know we was all some creators
Somethin' from nothin' was told Kings walk and man you frontin'
For the people and by the people but them over money
I'm on my Viola Davis here, workin' for justice
How you get away with murder? Be a cop and just kill us
How we supposed to not catch feelings?
Innocent lives, boy we got kids in these buildings
I'm on my Viola Davis, it's what you call a defense
For all the drama they gave us I'm spittin' Shonda Rhimes wit
Too high for you like ganja, that’s what Shonda rhyme with
I holla back in the Hamptons, you still black if you rich
Spread love ain't just the Brooklyn way, it's universal
360 and the nine lives, whoa, what a circle
We bout to live it up
We bout to give it up
We bout to twist it up
The startin' salary, it's hard reality
Find solidarity
We got our leaders too but do they leave us?
Or they lead us and they see it through?

Well she coulda been better
I would have bet money Kanye produced this. Props to Hi Tek.
It took me till today to know Twain is a NAD MOTHER FUCKER! I only heard this joint at the end of another DAVE Chapelle joint! You better thank that man for putting you up on more white fans that will definitely BUY your record! We have credit cards & we never pirate music 🎶 becaise we want great artists to get their money! When the last time you all seen a white dude selling boot legs at the gas station. We all seen how Tupac walked up on those brothers saying “ this is MY SHIT MOTHER FUCKER! You owe me money 💰 (lol true shit no jokes!) and then he said “ if this shit is up next time I come thru IM TEARING UP YOUR WHOLE SHIT”! Btw RIP TUPAC! I would like to say that he got me started listening to rap is a white kid, but really it was grandmaster flash and Milly Mel and Juke bootie. I know I’m old! Lol P! “ IN EVERY GHETTO”......
"how you get away with murder? be a cop and kill us."

Coz of Dave Chappelle
Great flow!!🔥
Been trying to figure out who this was since that badazz beat a the beginning of Dave's Netflix special
The lady in the beginning is hip hop spiritual
i actually heard it before age of spin and got my eyes teary when i heard it on the end of the show
Hi Tek has always been talent on the production tip. . . .💪
Rapsody can spit, I like her on Kebdricks track too.
Infinity2084 stain emm
Every man ain’t selling rocks 🙌🏻
Chappelle. The man is quietly, enigmatically and purely genius. Sheer genius.
Rapsody...pure BEUTIFUL fire...
thank you dave Chappelle
369 added 9 lives whoooo what a circle
The Black woman is God. Period ⚡ #rhapsody
When the pigeon flew backwards tho
We got our leaders too.. But where they lead us too? 😕😕😕😕🤔🤔🤔
Rapsody
Chappelle
Talib is in my Top 5 All time Best Lyricist! And she so Damn Sassy!!!
This further proves how much of a giant Dave Chappelle is!! Never heard of this til dave!!!
So this is your replacement for RES. Whatever Tali
REVOLUTION is inside yourself, go 360!!!!!!!
Chappelle too
Chappellle!!!!!! futhermock!!!
I feel the point they are getting across but the feeling of the song as a whole im really not to geeked about it.
That intro with the old lady tho
rapsody💯🔥🔥🔥🍫🍫🍫🍫👑
9th Wonder
Talib was amazing, coulda done without her though.
That Raplove
Chappelle? How did he bring you here
His netflix special
This editing is giving me aids... fucking great song tho
Lol Talib straight up talking about 6ix9ine getting robbed 🙈 I’m weak!!!
Got me doing v ups again..
This us vs them shit is getting so old. Yes racism is a thing. Quit perpetuating it for monetary purposes. I love hip hop but damn this whole “f the police” mentality is so tired. Show me an example of modern systemic racism. People always looking for a boogie man so they can be legitimate. You make your own choices. If you decide to set yourself opposed to someone else don’t be surprised when they treat you differently not because they’re racist but because you asked for it.
Chappelle TRUMPS Kevin... Yeah, I said it.
Rapsody is a beast
