Some Kind Of Wonderful
Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek Lyrics

What's next?
What do I need to do now?

These chicken neck MCs get me vexed
These weak rappers annoy me.

My rhymes be blowin' up chat rooms all over the internet
My lyrics are spreading rapidly on the internet.

And causin' collisions on the highway of information
My music is disrupting the normal flow of information on the internet.

And then I head back to my prior engagement
After making music, I return to my previous activities.

In the nation of Brooklyn
I live in Brooklyn.

Land of Trinis, Haitians, Jamaicans and Bejans
Brooklyn has a diverse population of different cultures.

It's amazin' how lickin' shots is the proper representation
It's surprising how violence is often portrayed as acceptable.

Soon they gonna need wack MC reservations
Bad rappers will become so prevalent that they'll need their own designated area.

Cause I endanger the motherfuckers, they needin' preservation
I pose a threat to bad rappers and they need protection from me.

Carry 'em home on the top of a truck like a trophy
I will defeat and parade bad rappers like a trophy for all to see.

Niggas still sleepin' like I'm Jay Z in the video for Hawaiian Sophie
Some rappers are still asleep to the reality of the music industry.

It's cool I stay low key, keep a low pro
I prefer to remain humble and not attract unnecessary attention.

Come out crushin' shit just for fun like Co Flow
I will produce great music just for fun, similar to the group Co Flow.

Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo here we go
Let's get the show started.

Ridin' on the sound waves out your stereo
My music is coming out of your speakers.

In the procession to your burial
As I continue to make music, I am leading you to your end.

Callin' Hi Tek little Leon the professional
I compare Hi Tek to Leon, the professional hitman.

I got the special flow listenin' to estero
I have a unique lyrical style inspired by Spanish music.

Puffin' vegetables and now I'm red to go
I am ready to make music after smoking marijuana.

The illest rhyme animal like Chuck
I am the greatest lyricist, like Chuck D of Public Enemy.

Burn leech niggas like salt when i lay in the cut
I will destroy bad rappers who leech off of others.

Think you about to blow when you continue to suck
You think you'll be successful, but your music still sucks.

The shit I've been through
I've experienced many things in life.

Make me run up in your venue like What!
I will show up unannounced to a concert venue.

I snatch the mic and ask the crowd what are y'all waitin' for?
I take the stage and demand that the crowd gets hyped.

They say nothin' but that fat shit
The crowd responds enthusiastically to my music.

I got you, say no more i laid the law and all them
I have commanded the attention of the audience and set the standard.

Crab rappers played the floor I called them out
Bad rappers tried to perform, but I exposed them.

A couple of them steeped up and I ate 'em raw
Some bad rappers tried to challenge me, but I defeated them easily.

Some more wack niggas tried to spray the door but had no aim
More bad rappers tried to attack me, but they were unsuccessful.

Later for them corn balls
I don't have time for mediocre rappers.

On the way out smacked them in they face with a methaphor
As I left, I insulted them with a clever metaphor.

For better or for worse you better call the nurse
No matter the outcome, someone will need medical attention.

Before I send a cleaner and he get to your hospital room first
I will defeat you so badly, that you'll need a cleaning crew before being sent to the hospital.

I'll take your style and embarras it with
I will take your musical style and make it sound inferior.

Words beautifully written like Arabic
My lyrics are like pieces of art, similar to Arabic calligraphy.

Got niggas on the run 'cause the fire like chariot
People are afraid of my music because it's so powerful.

Introduce pen skills to ill deliveries and married it
I combine great lyrics with excellent flow.

Put it in your face like big gats and carried it like Harriet
I hit you in the face with my music, like a big gun, and am unapologetic about it.

Various crews tried to bury us
Many musical groups have tried to challenge us and failed.

But we shut 'em down like Sagiterious with
We silenced our opponents like the archer sign Sagittarius.

That wack shit money you can't be serious
You can't actually think that bad music will be successful.

You niggas is hilarious actresses
You bad rappers are like bad actors in a funny movie.

Runnin around the club pissy like ghetto matresses
You act like intoxicated women in the ghetto.

That's why I smack these kids back to reality
I will bring bad rappers back to the harsh reality of the music industry.

And how it be in actuality
How things really are in the music industry.

With ready to battle MCs who skip the fuckin' formailties
I will compete with other rappers who don't follow proper procedures.

We spark it in any club or meat market
We start a music battle at any venue, no matter how low-class it may be.

Sweet artists don't come on the block they become street targets
Successful musicians are often targeted by violence in their communities.

If you want it I got it, come get it I'm with it
If you think you're better, I will prove you wrong.

Your career will be shorter than a midget
Your music career will not last very long.

And the world will know who did it
Everyone will know that I emerged victorious.

I smack up these ho ass MCs like a gorilla pimp
I defeat bad rappers with the same ferocity as a pimp disciplining a prostitute.

You comin' out the box like a gimp, money you still a wimp
You are weak, even though you try to act tough and original.

My shit blow out filaments and light fixtures
My music is so powerful it can blow out electrical equipment.

With the right mixture of words used as colors
I use a combination of great lyrics to make my music stand out.

To paint the right picture
To create the perfect image of my music in people's minds.

Graphic masterpieces your whole shit is smashed to pieces
My music is a masterful work of art, while your music is completely destroyed in comparison.

Make you look at your man who rhyme and be like, "you not nasty like he is"
You will be embarrassed by the comparison of your music to mine.

Believe this when you see this, and don't fuck with
My music is something to be taken seriously and not to be messed with.

Me either, 'cuz you'll be down where my feet is
Don't challenge me, because I'll easily defeat you.

Curled up in the fetus
You'll be left in a fetal position, defeated.

Cryin' from the kicks, watch when I flip
You'll be crying from the verbal attacks I make, just wait and see.

People gonna be buyin' my shit like fiends dyin' for a hit, so
My music will be so successful that people will be eagerly buying it like drug addicts fiending for a hit.

What you wanna do? I'm runnin' through your front line
I am confident in my ability and ready to take on all challengers.

Your whole plan is catcha tan in my sunshine
Your music and career will be overshadowed by my success and talent.

One time 'cause it's some kinda wonderful
My music is so great, it's almost unbelievable.

Don't stand there lookin' stupid, what you wanna do?
Don't be stunned by my music, let's compete and see who's the best.
