Talib Kweli - Right About Now lyrics

Yeah

it's that new Kweli,

I'm gonna give it to you before the bootleggers get hold of it

I figured I'd put it out first make some money on it, now why not ay

Okay,

one two

Yo I'm brooklyn like the 90's

Brown villa pusha, keep it grimy

Without the flapbush, that's where you found me

In brooklyn tec with just an incidaite? Free ??

Always catch me with Juju and Rubic and even truer kids

Dollar van ??, john bow running, never look back

Just the man that kept the hammer in his back

Rubics interduced me to Black and Forte

Dj Enough on avenue Kay I go back a long way,

With supernet and watching square and freestyling every day

Performing at Lyricist Lounge, ate of the g-brake?

Fuckin with mooders how I met Hi-Tek

Blackstar came in effect, when Alycia gave a tape to Mos def

Reflection Eternal was next on deck,

My crew the best and we prooved it.

We knew our music was the vanguard of a movement

Every Rawkus release was banging

They on the come up,

they was like fuck the radio to pharrel state, get the fuck up

Black listen, Jaron and Bryant

Next position was right about now, we need the radiohead ridging me,

While I hit the road on tour to support the record since the day it was sold

Corey had me following the example of De la Soul

Common and the Rooster, and me, these the sickest niggaz

Get my figures with the Okay-players and the Spitkickers

Rawkus got a deal with MCA, that's the grey area

But let us come from music cemetery of America

They try to fool you by switching the name to Geffen

Now they interscopes bitch and every artist who had a chance left ‘em

Ain't no big surprise, wasn't no love there, Jimmy Ivy never signed me

I just kinda ended up there, fuck that

literaly, it was my way or the highway

Hit the road with the Beasty Boys on tour Europe with Kayne

I gotta thank him for the love on the album

I knew out on Electric Circus he get it by any means necesary, like Malcolm

I tried a single shot at video, getting control of my situation

Gotta label pop in this assituation??

You boy free I had to get out

I put you on, this is where I'm at

Right About Now

And if you saying it's my time, you

Right About Now

This what's going through my mind

Right About Now

Aiyo Aiyo, it's time Right About Now

And if you're looking you will find it Right About Now 2x
