| Talib Kweli: | |
| It's a funky sen-sa-tion ain't it? | |
| I'm havin a conversation wit'cho imagination | |
| It was explainin how you was waitin, for somethin amazin | |
| Like when it come out you out the door racin to the store (*zoom*) | |
| It took a lot of perse-verance and patience | |
| We was preparin for our place among the ancients | |
| Yo basically yo' take on me ain't makin me | |
| or breakin me and yo I hate to see a fake MC | |
| I take out all my competition from like A to Z | |
| Cause I get fly more frequently than a travel agency | |
| That's what I'm made to be, hip-hop through my artery | |
| An important part of me the soundtrack to my oddysey | |
| It got me, rockin retardedly | |
| Pardon me for speakin incorrect politically | |
| Anything less would be me speakin hypocritically, and I don't do dat | |
| You lingerie MC's I see through that | |
| I make a point about you and your crew, go "Tru dat" | |
| Who dat? It's the Reflection | |
| Remember the name, slid in the game before the "2000 Season" came | |
| Breakin the chain, usin the pain as our ammunition | |
| to blast Babylonian towers out of position | |
| It's the Reflection and we poppin like your ears on a plane | |
| We make you disappear like tears in the rain | |
| The fears in your brain is clear when I appear on the terrain | |
| and bloody your nose | |
| I got more lines than co-CAINE that's why you sniffin' around | |
| We diggin' for different sounds to keep it hittin' | |
| Straight up the only way we gettin' down with the sound is provacative | |
| It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give | |
| It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give | |
| You got a issue with that then it ain't my problem kid | |
| Y'all niggaz gotta eat, we gotta live, yo | |
| We all gotta eat and gotta live | |

| Cin-ci-natti! Keep on! | |
| Talib Kweli: | |
| We remain, hotter than the blue part of the flame | |
| I got a glock in my brain | |
| that baffle weapons inspections like Saddam Hussein | |
| and rocks with the impact | |
| Gettin beat with socks filled with ten-packs of tokens | |
| Men's backs get broken when I get open | |
| Words more than spoken | |
| Most of dem MC's on the first thing smokin | |
| Leavin town at the same time causin traffic on the interstate | |
| We stay droppin classics cause the key word is innovate | |
| These cats is so plastic that we call 'em laminated | |
| Tried to duplicate the style quickly got frustrated | |
| More desperate than dudes who search people's ashtrays for clips | |
| I burn MC's like Coca-Cola through the paint on your whip | |
| Shit! My rhymes is like a magnifyin glass | |
| When I shine my light through it, I burn up everything in my path | |
| Last Dragon like Lee-roy (sho' nuff) rock for the b-boy | |
| My rhymes are so sharp you catch cuts that key-loid | |
| Destroyed the decoy, most of y'all d-boy, my culture | |
| It's not that I hate, y'all just p-noid cause y'all fake | |
| Embarassed and ashamed and don't know where to put the blame | |
| And never hesitate to call out my name! | |
| I ain't effected by the negative | |
| It's the Reflection and we dealin with the positive | |
| It's for the love and cause of that we got a lot to give | |
| It's the Reflection kid | |
| Never gotta look between the lines to get the messages | |
| You're too sensitive, checkin out our references | |
| The turntable and microphone specialist | |
| It's the Reflection kid, it's the Reflection kid | |
| It's the Reflection kid, like that like that | |
