 Talib Kewli & Hi-Tek - Name Of The Game Lyrics

The name of the game is..


[Talib Kweli]

Persistance, dedication

Consistant, motivation, resistance to stagnation

of information, distribute it free to the entire population

No hesitation, makin it public

No privitazation from corporations

Today in order to be sane you gotta go crazy so remain

on top of the game, and master your universe like you was He-Man
"14p1975"1918122 pp2j

See me and Hi Tek knock you out de frame

while I'm stimulatin de brain

in de Train of Thought that's the name

of the Reflection Eternal LP man!

Ain't nuttin new except organic produce that means that's free range

You might see me on MTV, BET, or still up on the D-train

It's just everybody else be seemin strange in they approach

I see these guys and read they eyes

Need to disguise and so I cloak

into a cloud of smoke, I brown a roach

to keep myself from soundin loc'

Destroy they hopes of hatin

Don't move aboard before they rock the boat

Yo it's not the dope,

these snakes will come in peace to slit your throat

Give you compliments, with a promise yet

to get me heated and provoke me

to be rockin shit, shove apocalypse

down your esophagus so swallow that

Guess what you could be coppin that

N'kiru Books for fifteen dollars flat

Cats who spit knowledge on tracks

and get bumped out the back of Impalas and Cadillacs

All my live Cincinatti Bearcats holla back

Tomorrow they gonna wanna borrow raps like

C'mon black, I'll pay you back

I ain't no lyrical ATM even though I'm nice and I'm a mack

Better believe that, leave that crack alone

And you see that there microphone

ain't no place to work your self-esteem issues

Do that shit when you alone!

Nigga you is grown, why is you still suckin on that pacifier

Quickly call that ass a liar, exposin you's my last desire

Olympic skills so pass the fire

I roll with niggaz that match attire

Black aware, that's filled with gas

but rollin on, flat ass tires

Yeahehehe, yo hehehe, yo, yo.. yo yo

Yo I got a special guest

Lil' Baby Tone Tone, tell 'em what's up

[?? indecipherable ??] Yo, true

Yo we bout to be, tell 'em peace out Tone

[Peace out] Yeah word word Baby Tone, what?

[Yeah what?]
