f/ Talib Kweli







[Talib Kweli]



Brooklyn stand up, L.A. stand up



Matter fact, the whole planet rock with us now!







[Hook]



{*"Dazzlin - Dilated displayin' a new sound"*



[All] We all live on stage!



{*"Run up in your venue like what what what!"*



[Iris] Check it out y'all! [Evid] Check it out



[Iris] You're now rockin' with the world's best



{*"Dazzlin - Dilated displayin' a new sound"*



[All] We all live on stage!



[Iris] And we do it for you



[Evid] We do it for you



[Talib] We do it for you



{*"Live on stage!"*







[Iriscience]



Aiyyo, basic mathematics - add shit, subtract shit



Multiply, divide, break down shit to fractions



Equality - Not greater than or less than



Los Angeles, Brooklyn, connect to Manhattan



Expansion Team - Movin' through lights, cameras and action



Thoughts to ideas, designs to manufacturin'



??? to we blaze and make it happen



On stage I quote the bible then blast like Sam Jackson



{*"I jump on stage and change forms*



Rock it, don't bug out, kid, my team scores



A lot of emcees out there with phony lives



They master the studio but never master the ceremon'



Check it live







[Hook]



{*"Dazzlin - Dilated displayin' a new sound"*



[All] We all live on stage!



{*"Run up in your venue like what what what!"*



[Iris] Check it out y'all! [Evid] Check it out



[Iris] You're now rockin' with the world's best



{*"Dazzlin - Dilated displayin' a new sound"*



[All] We all live on stage!



[Iris] And we do it for you



[Evid] We do it for you



[Talib] We do it for you



{*"Live on stage!"*







[Evidence]



You know we - break barriers, redefine the coast



Classic hits like Ice Cube's "AmeriKKKa's Most"



Dilated - extra extra, read the front page



Catch us live on stage - like Roxanne Shante



Straight out the cage - learn ya lesson



Yo, studio sessions are not shows



Learn ya lesson - in shows and studios



This here breath controls all I got to lose



But the architects respect it - live in House of Blues



Flow for my peeps - thats true



You know we take it live on stage



And new levels for you



Thirty bucks a ticket?



No, that's breads and breaks



So I'ma stay sharp and seperate the real from fakes



You know..







[Hook]



{*"Dazzlin - Dilated displayin' a new sound"*



[All] We all live on stage!



{*"Run up in your venue like what what what!"*



[Iris] Check it out y'all! [Evid] Check it out



[Iris] You're now rockin' with the world's best



{*"Dazzlin - Dilated displayin' a new sound"*



[All] We all live on stage!



[Iris] And we do it for you



[Evid] We do it for you



[Talib] We do it for you



{*"Live on stage!"*







[Babu - scratching]



{*"Now through cuts to Alchemist's instrumental*"



{*"Dilated live" {*"B-believe it when you bleed it*



{*"Run up in your venue like what what what!"*



{*"Li-li-li-live on stage"* {*"Talib Kweli*"







[Talib Kweli]



I got the crowd in the palm of my hands



It go like the dominant strands



Squeeze as hard as I can



Stormin' like that beach in Normandy



So just droppin' the sand



The way I'm rockin' the fans



Like when you take a homeless man and you promise him land



Understand I rock for Dilated



The longer you wait, longer you get violated



If words was notes, I say it the way Miles play it



I know my styles hated - you can't get nowhere near it



Instead of investin' in hate, you should invest in merit



Look at yourself, you monstrosity of hypocrisy



Tryin' to be the king of media, you the king of mediocrity



Chop your flow, disposable, like heroes of the prophecy



I got the evidence that me and Rock know how to flow properly



C'mon man!







[Hook]



{*"Dazzlin - Dilated displayin' a new sound"*



[All] We all live on stage!



{*"Run up in your venue like what what what!"*



[Iris] Check it out y'all! [Evid] Check it out



[Iris] You're now rockin' with the world's best



{*"Dazzlin - Dilated displayin' a new sound"*



[All] We all live on stage!



[Iris] And we do it for you



[Evid] We do it for you



[Talib] We do it for you



{*"Live on stage!"*
