Talib Kweli We Got The Beat (Featuring Res) lyrics

Yeah! Come on! What it is
It's the P L A N E T R O C K, Kweli, BK, Selavis
You could tell I be hell-a-free like college radio
W Q H T gonna play me though

This hot shit is to fly like the cockpit
Got spit like a French kiss chicks lock lips
Coming from the deep black like the Loch Ness
Now bring apocalypse like the heart of darkness

It's like the heart of the artist become a target
Pop music is the black market
Recently we witness bizarre shit
The war hit the same time as SARS hit

Terrorists send bombs at the concert
The show must go on yo regardless
I'm just some hip hop kid to pop shit
And get on some rock shit and start a mosh pit

Yeah, we got the beat to make the planet rock, yeah
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)
We got the beat to make the planet rock
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Let's rock

We got the planet to rock, Kweli's standing on top
I'm like a panther when I answer to cops
And bust back before the man get a shot
And the blood in their veins run cold like the cannibal lox

And bring heat like the blood of the mammal that's hot
And keep fighting like the boy with the mechanical heart
And watch time count down on the hands of the clock
'Til the hour when the pinnacle start

Wow, and go fast like the bullet that ran through the dark
The hollow tip ripped a man apart, blaow
Yo, these soldiers die in petroleum wars
Think they fighting for the holiest cause

It don't matter if you Muslim, Hebrew or you a Christian
Information is the newest religion, it's a true way of living
Ain't no rule to a superstition stop me
With going through with my mission, come on, man


We got the beat to make the planet rock, yeah
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah, come on, come on)
We got the beat to make the planet rock
(Come on, come on)
Let's rock

We got the beat to make the planet rock, yeah
(Come on, come on)
We got the beat to make the planet rock
Let's rock

Come on, get down, get down, get down, get down
Go ladies, go, go, go ladies, go, go
Come on, all my ghetto people, stand strong
We rocking on and on

One for me, now rocking with the best and is Kweli
You ain't no MC like me, you just a clone like KFC
Come on, B-Boys, B-Girls, we rocking the world, world, world, world

We got the beat to make the planet rock, yeah
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)
We got the beat to make the planet rock
Let's rock

Don't believe niggaz running the place
(We got the beat to make the planet rock, yeah)
Man everything is dangerous nothing is safe, nigga
Think you a man with a gun in your waist
Let the cops disrespect you right in front of your face

Take it out on your girl, punch her in the face
(We got the beat to make the planet rock)
You ain't a thug you a waste of space
Nigga, get out the way, B-boys gonna rock till the break
How much can a planet take
(Let's rock)

We got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat
