Push Thru

Push Thru - Talib Kweli

I rise as day breaks

Clouds hide the sun's rays

Quick sand and mistakes

Smash walls to get through

I fight the good fight

Even on the bad days

It's darkest before light

I'm gonna push through

Turbo charged bars

Slot cars on tracks falling off game scars in these rap wars

Ain't nothing band aids won't cover

Touring with 7D coverage

Live bands two buses my own cash

No budget no major label fundings Jets baby

We went from crawling to walking to running

You can't say nothing you under gag order

Hopping out of Audi's hurting y'all with kicks I'm the Transporter

Think about it never mind you ain't gotta

I'm already on some whole other word to yo mufuckin self

Nobody else gon' do it for ya nobody else

Every now and then someone'll offer ya help

But they ain't doing nothing

Til they really see you tryna do something I ain't bluffing

Kush puffing on you jive turkeys

Stuffing stockings with these gifts

Audible applaudables homie take a wiff

When you a man action is what's expected nothing is spoken on

Producer never got time for no excuses gotta go beyond

My flow is tom foolery

I smoke these pork rappers so fast they call me charcuterie

I beautifully exude the vibe that's free of ambiguity

Ya goonery for the sake of goonery is cartoons to me

It's coonery it's lunacy let's make it plain

Only way that you hang is attached to a tree

The moon talk to the sea and speak the body language fluently

She makes it rain

When I'm on fire she always try to douse me

Only reason that you make it rain is 'cause your diamonds cloudy

I see you from a mile away when it get overcast

Old people feel it in they bones

Invade your home like I broke the glass

And let myself in fighting for freedom like the people in Tunisia

Spread through Sudan and Egypt this the music for the movement

The score to your achievements never join 'em so you gotta beat 'em

It's carpe diem hey hey yeah

Like kindergarteners

My vision's bothered by vigilantes that harbor on street corners

Try your hardest to harvest bundles of weed on ya

The starving'll speed on ya stampede on ya

Impede on your pockets then pee on ya

Dreams of us living lavish in fabrics of fine linens

Spending established with women dining and laughing

But this environment got us violent ready to crash in

To society take this driver seat hope you fastened

Your seatbelts twice when I rolled them dice I crapped

So many times I can build casinos from scratch

Too many daps you might receive from the things you achieve relax

That's what my mental say but my physical's been detached

I'm on some other shit like fuck the government

I'm higher rankings where's the mothership

I made a covenant that I was changing by my luck has been

Quite disgusting when reality tames you where the fuck you been

Left him face down like he was planking

In a cold world where old girl and her homeboy got a motive

You can bench curl your tribulations that sensation's insulting

Got a wifey or a mistress nigga which one you indulging

Regardless of who you pick know life's a bitch when you ain't focused nigga

I'm focused
