More or Less(feat. Dion) (Amended Version) - Talib Kweli/Dion

La la la la la la la la la

Yo tone what we need

More gum less hate more real less

Fake more come less wishing

Less stuntin more famous talking more changes rushing

More franchising less sanitizing

More uprising less downsizing

More enterprising less sympathizing

More buildings less destroying

More jobs less unemployment

Lets get the devil less enjoynment

More originality less biting pocket off big

More community activism less pigs

More blacksmithing def jux less geffen

And the rest cause the rest suck the got the

Sh*t all messed up

More m*******a less coke

More countability for politicians before we shoutin lets vote

More schools less prisons

More freestyles less written

More serious sh*t and less kidding

More history less mystery

More beyonce less brittany

More happiness less misery

More victory less losses

More workers we all bosses

Of course it's reflection

What we need

More gum less hate more real less

Fake more come less wishing

Less stuntin' more famous talking more changes rushing

More

God bless the hood where my money always good

I can get you take it now thinkin' couldn't when

I could son

I live above the rim and pay the full like

My n***a would

Crack is old niggas wish we all wish a n***a would

Crack a joke like he wanna battle for the mic

This is brooklynn the planet

Y'all niggas is just satellites

Revolve around my every word

I address the crowd like lincoln at gettysberg

Surrounded by the heavy herb

The crowd is more or less

War to war here for the pure

Hip hop how I'm rockin got them dropin' they jaw

Fire marshall blocking the door

Theres a crack like they chopping the raw

This the sh*t the cops stoping us for

This the reign of the tek and them motherf**king B nuts

Slice like the nip tuck

Specialize in deep cuts

It's the music that you ridin to

Provided to you by kweli and hi tek the livest two

Yeah what we need

More gum less hate more real less

Fake more come less wishing

Less stuntin' more famous talking more changes rushing

The more I put into it

Less it sounds like nonsense

The more natural the less conscience

At the same time the more bomb sh*t

The less the devil got a grip

I get it loose we gotta slip away the ghetto

Gotta get

More for a dollar

More fresh goods for purchase

Less liquor stores

Less churches that be lookin' like corner stores

More rap songs that stress purpose with

Less misogyny and less curses

Lets put more depth in our verses till they left

On the surface

While we stomp through the underground

The cop don't come around

You sort of hoping for that reflection

You sort of open I'm ma heed call him chosen

I don't play with your emotions

Stop acting so emotional

I give you these bars for free like they promotional

This ain't no marketing strategy

It had to be from the heart in order to

Be reality

Reflection

What we need

More gum less hate more real less fake

More come

Less wishing

Less stuntin' more famous talking more changes rushing

More franchising less sanitizing
