Текст песни Inner Monologue - Talib Kweli
Remember,
whatever
discipline
you're
in,
whether
you're
a
musician
or
a
photographer,
a
fine
artist
or
a
cartoonist,
a
writer,
a
dancer,
a
singer,
a
designer
— whatever
you
do,
you
have
one
thing
that's
unique:
You
have
the
ability
to
make
art.
Sometimes
life
is
hard.
Things
go
wrong
— in
life
and
in
love
and
in
business
and
in
friendship
and
in
health.
And
when
things
get
tough,
this
is
what
you
should
do.
Make
good
art
This
about
to
be
the
realest
shit
you
ever
heard
I
lynch
rappers,
got
them
hanging
on
my
every
word
These
bitch
rappers
be
claiming
they
slinging
heavy
word
Really
snitch
rappers,
niggas
singing
like
every
bird
Rich
rappers,
nah,
I
don't
know
them
niggas
Niggas
don't
get
rich
rapping,
they
selling
clothes
or
liquor
My
flow
is
sicker
cause
I
flow
with
vigor
I'm
no
beginner,
peep
the
whole
agenda
Control
my
center
cause
I
gravitate
with
Gravitas
This
my
inner
monologue
Burning
down
your
party
cause
our
cocktails
is
molotov
My
crime
mob
make
you
stop,
lock
and
drop,
don't
get
wollywop'd
Actually
battery
in
my
back
like
a
copper
top
Got
it
popping,
started
on
the
B-side
of
Body
Rock
Direct
to
fan,
I'm
running
my
shop
like
my
mom
and
pop
Modern
day
slavery
today
to
be
an
artist,
watch
They
treat
them
like
a
product
and
try
to
mount
like
a
hot
'n
tot
Molly
pop,
niggas
not
caring
if
they
body
rot
Partying
like
Mardi
Gras,
get
the
cream
like
Häagen-Dazs
Golly
gosh,
this
is
Utopia,
cornucopia
I'm
known
to
start
revolts
against
the
Romans
like
Zenobia
Hoping
to
keep
coping
copious
amounts
of
opiates
Tried
to
start
a
union,
but
they
blocked
me
like
a
Soviet
I
hope
they
get
it,
I'm
sick
of
explaining
history
I'm
rolling
with
a
circle
of
winners,
we
claimin'
victories
It
ain't
a
mystery,
the
hate'll
make
it
bittersweet
Who
I'm
kidding?
I'm
the
great
debater
My
crew
stay
winning,
we
stay
innovating
Your
circle
is
rotten
as
great
tomatoes
They
get
high
with
you
then
start
dry
snitching
like
Jose
Canseco
Prosecco,
I'm
sipping
vino
with
a
vivid
hue
Haberdasher
rocking
Borsalinos
like
Hasidic
Jews
Pitiful,
rappers
never
stand
up
to
the
ridicule
That's
why
I
had
to
get
at
you
Wear
it
if
it
fit
the
shoe,
nigga
(Baby,
just
shine
your
light
If
you've
gotta
dim
yours,
so
they
can
shine
brighter
Just
stay
bright,
so
shine
your
light)
We're
in
a
transitional
world
right
now
because
the
nature
of
distribution
is
changing.
The
distribution
channels
that
people
have
built
over
the
last
century
or
so
are
in
flux.
The
print,
the
visual
artist,
the
musicians...
which
on
the
one
hand
intimidating
and
on
the
other,
immensely
liberating.
The
rules,
the
assumptions,
the
now-we're-supposed-tos
of
how
you
get
your
work
seen
and
what
you
do
then,
they're
breaking
down.
The
gatekeepers
are
leaving
their
gates.
You
can
be
as
creative
as
you
need
to
be
to
get
your
work
seen.
The
old
rules
are
crumbling.
And
nobody
knows
what
the
new
rules
are,
so
make
up
your
own
rules
