The Second Line - David Lyttle/Talib Kweli
Written by：David Lyttle/Talib Kweli
First line might be filler
But the second line is a killer
Yea how we do it
Spiritually and mentally
Feeling like the men I honour in the den of thieves
Trust is the recipe
The music got a good energy
Yeah love is the remedy
My flow *** like genovese
Long time ago I was the one who you pretend to be
I judge a man by his enemies
You ain't gotta like it but you remember me
Now how long will these apostles last
All they spit is a lot of the trash
The fame got em gassed
Dropping cash at the club
Looking for thugs to smash
Sipping champagne with the sushi and lots of mash
Rewarded for the boring and the soft in their corporate offices
Your style blows like the holes in whales and porpoises
Illuminati rappers whose sacrifices it all for us
It's all in your imagination that was the cause of this
I exited off the poll and I gotta pick up my daughter bro
I know we all evolve but all in all
Songs on the radio torture us like a water bore
That ain't classics some others look for the raw
Gotta make it crystal like Waterford
B**ch rappers and snitch rappers and court of law
Cause I'm the one that your employer gotta call the boss
I'm lobbying for laws against falling off
You riled up the dogs I gotta call em off
You you don't me not to cry
We're in the second line
So I'll just force a smile aye
When you think it's time to go
Don't tell me cause I'll know
But I'll still wonder why why
