- Talib Kweli
- Yo, you know what we got to do, man, we need to get a whole
CDGet a collection of all the music and everything weve ever done(Bringing back sweet memories)(Bringing back sweet memories)(Bringing back sweet memories )(Sweet memories)
Life, living in
Flat bush and going to house parties
Red lights, bumping, life is what you make it, then sorry
In my lifetime, aint done too many things
Better than watching your first son put his sentences together
Yo, it kinda make me think of way back when
I was the portrait of the artist as a young man
All them teenage dreams of rapping, writing rhymes on napkins
Was really visualization, making this shit actually happen
Its like something come through me that truly just consume me
Speaking through the voices of the spirits speaking to me
I think back in the day,
I absorbed everything like a sponge
Took a plunge into my past to share with my son(Sweet memories)(Bringing back sweet memories)(Bringing back sweet memories)(Sweet memories)
Like thoughts out the back of my mind going back in some time
Like when you used to cut and had to go to the back of the line
Look back and you find tracks that make you relax and recline
Now cats rap about packing a nine when they lacking divine
Inspiration, running out of topics of conversation
Well I drop it in the pocket because rock is my occupation
I do it remarkably, spark up a leaf and possibly you could follow me
Tap into your chi
Utilize your spiritual faculty, accurately, use your memory
To help you see clearly, then get back to me
Actually, nothings new under the sun
So when life be stressing me, my remedy is(Bringing back sweet memories)
Like the faces that are woven in the fabric of my consciousness
From cities where making 21s a big accomplishment
Like when my people understood their prominence
And my past life visions of the continent
Like the first time
I saw KRS live, rockin it
I heard Resurrection by
Common Sense, dominant in my psyche
I chose my direction like
Spike LeeTo speak my life through mics, and
I never take it lightly
It might be something you did to bring you down when you were high
But that karmas a bitch, you steady asking
God, whyLike when my parents first split up, yo,
I was illin
Seems like some years they was together for the sake of the children
And I love them for that,
I dont know if they saw that
So, Ima say it, and convey it when the world play it
Ima say it, and convey it when the world play it
Ima say it, and convey it when the world play it(Bringing back sweet memories, sweet memories)(Bringing back sweet memories)(Bringing back)
Like black is beautiful, names from the seventies
Let me tap into your energy, fields of dreams become my property
When I reach my destiny like a prophecy, especially when
I m(Bringing back sweet memories)
I got deep into my mind, see
I got a treasury
That float through my head like a sweet melody
What you telling me, reflection is a collection of memories
Definitely this is how hip hop was meant to be
Eventually,
I knew Id run into
Hi-Teknology
It was only a matter of time like centuries
Check the recipe or technique to how it sound so sweet
I freak with word power, my man speak with beats
If I could make it in
New York,
I figured anywhere
Id make it
Came to Cincinnati linked with
Mood, and we did
SacredHi-Tek beats became my favorite
Hussle on the
Side was the cut
We started to put songs together like, what?
Traveled the world, came back to the crib and hit the motherland
Yeah, this year we put in work and got some other plans
In fact, thats where
Ill take the fam
When the Reflection joint is done
By the time you hear this,
Ill be basking in
African sun, like wow
Yes, we made it, we here
