Talib Kweli - Where Do We Go Lyrics
[Chorus: Res - repeat 2X]
Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin new
Where do we go for inspiration?
It's like pain is our only inspiration
[Talib Kweli]
Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls
Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl
No one to hold 'em while they growin
They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
I know this: that people lie, people kneel
People die, people heal, people steal, and people shed tears
What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise
Wake up, the stakes up
Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
But when the karma come back for what you do
It's too late to make up - some excuse
[Chorus]
[Talib Kweli]
I come from people who stronger than time and space
Wherever there's competition you gonna find the race
I find a place in my heart for this hip-hop
And pump blood through my vein my skin get hot
I take you very serious and make you write more
If I don't celebrate I got nothing to fight for
I'm tight raw, excite y'all like nightfall
I'm tight y'all, I walk the street like y'all
About action, talk is cheap, right y'all?
You start yappin' think about the beef you might cause
The trouble you could get into
You don't study, you not prepared and cats is testin you
What you gonna do when you gotta face
The manifestation of the words that you put in space
They already there you cant take 'em out
The studio gangsta inside you tryin' to break out
[Chorus]
[Talib Kweli]
Yea, I see a place where little boys and girls
Are shells in the oceans not knowin they a pearl
No one to hold 'em while they growin
They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
I know this: that people lie, people kneel
People die, people heal, people steal, and people shed tears
What's real, blood spills, gun kill, the sun still - rise
Above me, trust me, it must be, morning - time
Wake up, the stakes up
Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
But when the karma come back for what you do
It's too late to make up - some excuse

Most people now a days dont wanna here real hip hop shit no mo.. All dey wanna here is dat sam I am shit... Dis song is prolly one of my fav Kweli joints!
one of the best emcees, no doubt
"Everyday someone asks me where all the real emcees is at. They underground. There's mad talented cats with that raw shit"
Hip Hop still lives, it is just hidden under the names Mos Def and Talib Kweli.
I don't believe but Dilla at the prod bro ... RIP
@St3hLy yeah ahaha
@poetryselite atmosphere?
@JuniorMAFIA091 than MOST artists.... =D
Talib Kweli is the epitome of what an MC is. From his poetical lyricism, to his deep rooted content (the substance and basis of his music is too relevant), his creativity, etc... all in which are the very essential for an MC buildin a legacy... and not just a career. Talib Kweli is Hip-Hop... and one of the greatest to eva grace the mic... he's top 5. Personally: 1. Nas, Black Dove, and Cormega, 2. Talib Kweli, 3. Immortal Technique, 4. AZ, and 5. Tupac and Common.
very very good track. Kweli is so under-rated nobody really knows him in the uk but he is alot more talented than some artists
This song is great, my brother is not that much into rap but the first time he heard this song on my ipod he fell in love with it and that was 4 years ago, today it is still his ringtone. talib is great
love this song... talib is a fucking genius
I dont agree with you, i think is well known, he is not mainstream, for the type of music he does he is doing well. I know how you feel, I used to feel the same way but i get it now.
"People lie, people kneel, people die, people heal, people steel, and people shed tears"
omg, this could be his best song
good shit
yo i dont usualy do this but this shit made me rlly think about life and almost cry yo keep makin songs like this
lil wayne??? birdman??? PLEASE!!!! YOU FUCKIN MORON!!!!
"But when the karma come back for what you do
It's too late to make up - some excuse"
j dilla and talib forever
so true!!!!
your a legend ...
