Keynote Speaker (Album Version|Explicit)

Keynote Speaker (Album Version|Explicit) - Talib Kweli/Dave Chappelle

A keynote speaker's about to come on now

I just wanted to say a few words about him

And you all know who he is

Talib Kweli

Please hold your applause 'til the end

We are glad

To come

And hear you speak

We love it

Kweli doesn't like me to talk about this but

One time we were drivin'

Through the Mississippi Delta

And there was a brotha

Runnin' up the side of the road

And he didn't have any shoes on

He didn't have a shirt on

And I started to drive right by this man

Kweli said "Stop the car

Because that brotha might be in trouble"

And I stopped the car

Kweli said to the man

He said "Brotha are you okay

Do you need a ride somewhere "

And the man looked at Kweli and said

Shh I'm escapin

And Kweli took him by the hand and said "My brotha

You didn't get the memo

We have been free for some time now"

Well I'm windin' it up

Please welcome a good friend scholar

Ghetto philosopher

Three time Nobel Peace Prize winner

First black man to pilot an air craft

The ni**a that made up the Nike Swoosh

The man that made Kool Aid say "Ohh Yea"

Brooklyn's own Talib Kweli
