lirik lagu talib kweli & j. rawls - it's workin
{intro}
thank you all for coming
you are appreciated
you are valid
j. rawls
oh, we putting the band back together
oh, yeah
we’re on a mission from god
{verse 1]
have fun in the sun for summer’s surfing season
other’s find a perfect reason to disturb your breathing
they staying loyal to these streets ’cause it’s the first allegiance
they taking federal chances
for them it’s worth the freedom
they branded slaves with the fleur~de~lis
they murdered people over greed while they swear they heading the word of jesus
i give the people these versus, they could believe i even disperse the demons, because my lyrics could convert the heathens
it’s not a sermon but i’m preaching and my words is reaching non~believers
they cursed the leaders when they heard me speaking
you see them try to ban the books
back in the day women were burned for reading
they hate the students so they burned the teachers
politicians representing certain regions
supposed to be for the people, yet refuse to work on weekends
and even support policies that leave us hurt and bleeding
voting booths got curtains for a reason
[chorus]
it’s working
what you doing is working
keep on moving with purpose
stay true
go deep beneath the surface
it’s worth it
it’s working
what you’re doing is working
keep on moving with purpose
stay true
go deep beneath the surface
it’s worth it
it’s working (x4)
[verse 2]
yeah
show some respect for the true [?], son
you swear you got the juice until you get tossed off the roof like you the new bishop
we all pray like devout christians
our stories dark as bourbon and urban as outfitters
get this in your mix, it will get your bones lit up
i trust you’ll be left in the dust that i’m gonna kick up
the way we grab the bag is too easy for us to pick up
similar to a stick up, these rappers irritating like the hiccups
excuse me, [?] flow through me
i’m a [?]
the fruits of my labors are so juicy
it’s the kid
staying the picture like old movies
set it off like juvy
y’all jaded like old groupies
it could all be so simple like x factor
you read vibrate high, well this is the next chapter
where i’m from, fighting your master’s a right of passage
you have to accept the fact that your favorite rapper’s a crisis [?]
[chorus]
it’s working
what you doing is working
keep on moving with purpose
stay true
go deep beneath the surface
it’s worth it
it’s working
what you’re doing is working
keep on moving with purpose
stay true
go deep beneath the surface
it’s worth it
it’s working (x4)
