Devil-red mazarati call the reverend on him
gave him my whole life, but certain shit I never told him
choppin the pavement on them blades, most n***** get they shot
hardship is but a phase.
ballin on that hardtop, know they hear my screechin’ j’s
genius on that stovetop, work cut six different ways
In life there’s six degrees of separation
fear leads to hesitation
rose from the project gutters boy, that’s elevation
picked the pace up on them n***** that’s acceleration
My ensembles elegant, boy that’s Ellen Tracy
I fucked the game 3 times, now I’m yellin trace em
You see them green and white diamonds, boy that’s segregation
Top naked, engine revvin’, tell them n***** race me
Your main bitch my reflection all she do is face me
All the money and the fame and the fornication
They say my mental is a gun, but I broke the safety

Interview: Talib Kweli Talks About Being a "Prison of Conscious" →
After provoking the rapper on Twitter last fall, we had a series of conversations about the industry and the roles of both the rapper and the listen… Complex.com: The original buyer’s guide for men.
Talib has some interesting things to say, IMO, even if you are a rap listener who doesn’t care for Kweli’s music. It should give some perspective on how, I think, lots of people approach rap music.

Where did these guys come from? Complex.com: The original buyer’s guide for men.
I wrote a thing. Hopefully should be useful for people who are familiar with the group and those who are fairly new. At the very least, there are links to a dozen house jams by similar artists that are fun to hear again (or for the first time).
