Damn. Last night was something else! Shots at 4-5am? Sheeeeit. Anyways, here goes a new video from Novel featuring Talib, Spree and a Ben Folds sample. Straight off The Audiobiography… coming soon! Directed by Philip Sportel.
Wow…Dope Song and video!!!!….Spree Wilson is Dope!!
I gotta have this on mp3. Immediately.
Great to see this song getting a chance. I had this song on continuous repeat a few months ago and it’s even better with Spree Wilson on it…
This is one of my favorite joints on the MCEO mixtape. Glad to see it getting some recognition. Not sure how I feel about spree wilson on it but it’ll probably grow on me.
Glad to see Spree Wilson getting some shine. He killed this shit!..
Great song and video.. This is my first time hearing this.
I can’t believe they have a Ben Folds sample on this track.
Ben Folds – The Luckiest
(Verse 1-Novel)
I am, reverends’ future black president.
I’m what you see rollin’ every day through your resident
Windows tinted, young and relentless
To the cops, I’m a suspect that fits the description
But I am, not a hoodlum, I’m not an abuser
I’m sort of a connoisseur slash entrepreneur.
I’ve seen a lot of people grow, some went, some came
Rappers are next-generation shit but I am change.
At the age of 21 they said I’d be non-existent,
It’s that, or pleading the trial or being convicted.
I guess since I’m alive then I beat the statistics
Y’all can all kiss my ass when I am rich.
I’m the sun, I’m light,
I’m much more than your bling or the shine off your ice
I’m as, free as a spirit, I’m as fly as a bird
I’m whatever I wanna be as long as I am heard
Cause I am…
(Chorus)
I am I am I am
Eternal to the light I am I am
I’m a product of the ghetto, my father’s boy,
A brother to my sister, my mother’s pride and joy, I am
I am I am I am
The king of all knights I am I am
I’m the blade of the knife, that slaughtered the lamb
The greatest sacrifice, the son of Abraham
(Verse 2-Talib Kweli)
I am C-E-O, H-N-I-C
B-K-M-C, Talib Kweli
My name roll off the tongue like L-M-N-O-P
See I am at touch, you can IM me.
I’m not nobody’s toy, I’m not nobody’s boy
I am someone’s man, I am someone’s joy
I am the voice, I am the truth
I am the choice, I am the proof.
Like my man from the D
Gon’ stand on my feet
I am the branch, from the family tree
A baby to the leaves, carriers of the seeds
To carry on the name, to make a man complete.
De La Soul said I am a beat
I’m not a dream, I’m not a fantasy
Right here in the flesh,
I am out of this world, I am something else
I am something lived, I am something felt.
(repeat chorus)
