Testo Radio silence Talib Kweli

Radio silence

I know, we back
We home, let's go
I know, we back
We home, let's go

Check it out
Born this way, the universe wasn't formed in a day
Praise the lord and pray, we the children of God
Better learn how to walk this way
Try to walk with faith, but it's hard
What more could I say?
I feel I'm cursed, so I talk this way
Gotta write what I'm livin' in graffiti
It's the hood hieroglyphics
So I'm lookin' for a wall to spray
You could picture me rollin'
You could picture me holdin'
You could never picture me foldin'
Refuse to beholden to your racist image of a Black man
Kiss my entire colon
Great mind, even though the legacy is stolen
It's all for the silver and gold
You can tell you in the ghetto from the litter in the road
Man this middle-of-the-road shit really getting old
Which one is the Real You?
I don't know it's still you
How can I tell if you under a spell
Did the Fake You kill you?
Better pass the mic in the afterlife
If so let me spit flows
Good enough to offer to God as a sacrifice
Born again like I passed away
Castigated for being honest
Caught bail like a Castaway
Because I feel like I'm swimmin' on an island
When I'm gettin' introspective: that's radio silence
When I'm fuckin' up program directives: that's radio violence

You were the one who wants to slow me down
I'm a criminal when you're around
What makes me think you would love me?
What makes you want to attack me?

Born this way, woke up like this
The midpoint between science and religion
Is tryna find out what the meaning of life is
October 3rd, ?75, my birth is a blessing
Ain't no spoken word could ever describe how the flow get better
I live on the edge, I'll send you a postcard
Fuck a phone, I got a chip on my neck that's a close call
Turn the lights off, see how we glow in the dark
Or we growin' apart or tryna survive the flood like we in Noah's Ark
We battin' down the hatchets and we set sail
Tryna get far away from inhalin' them chemtrails
My intel says they makin' people out of the stem cells
The gun's our sunflower seed - we love to spit shells
When them super soakers get let off it don't end well
I ain't know you like to get wet, dog, like Denzel
They hype it up like marketers, sparklin' like a fish scale
Till' you chasin' a high like Captain Ahab after that big whale
It's criminal

You were the one who wants to slow me down
I'm a criminal when you're around
What makes me think you would love me?
What makes you want to attack me?

Born this way, Capricorn, L.A
On the day of January 15th
Out the king his tomb, torn from a warm womb
Formed from the clay
Existence shifting from the essence uplifting
And the presence just drifting, gifting
Though this mortal caught up with mystic lessons from the sage
California spoiled the blessing, blissed up
But first spread the knowledge(?), space
I kissed Death in it's face
Low identity complex like this left in his place
Proud to say, no awarded torment to my rejection
And if this made is somewhat befuddled
I struggled to hustle and come up with the bloodfall
(?) boroughs, I'm pressin' issues
It's business that's mixed with pleasure
It's (?) to play and get paid
During this clone of (?) DNA
You should know more about the donors confessing Medula from prenatal (?)
(???)
(?) Mixed with liquor with salt, the hardcore drugs in my system
Sick of desire to be delivered wisdom
Poor black, white sexy texture of lovers like jungle fever
Wild zebras to make this fetus - brother, the son of my father
(???)
(?) elixirs and musical meters
In physics you should explore or visit more exquisite shores in districts
Take a breather, believe in your epic
God, remember you are a descendant of natural leaders
Extended from both (?) and (?)
In new testaments, heaven's an image in books
Messages, read ?em
Scriptures, look at the various sizes of giants in Egyptian pictures
Stonehenge to do with the mathematics of Mayans and metholithic structures
Evidence frequencies evades us
We're just the latest with the (?)
And made it out of the poor star dust
We're made in His image, but God is great
