Kindness For Weakness

Kindness For Weakness - Dilated Peoples/Talib Kweli

Written by：Henderson Thigpen

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take

Dilated yo yo

I might flip but usually a calm individual

Armed with accountants my lawyers and other criminals

Network with armies street wars are critical

And revolutionaries so streets are more livable

F**k what your ego say

Don't take sh*t for granted homey we don't play

All's fair in love and war piece of cake

But beef is rare like a bloody piece of steak

Don't you take your eyes off the quiet ones the silent ones

With the assassin smile the most violent

Train until their bleeding crying perspiring

And gun rings firing

Don't you take the wrong side that's the wrong idea

Untangle it we could get it on right here

Never back to broke you get tapped or choked

I might smile but I ain't no joke

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take

Oh yo look out look out rake

Love or fear the fear last longer

But love is stronger so I stay loyal to love with honor

You got those who wanna take that for weak

Be prepared they'll test you in front of your peeps

Some easy advice buy your way out my life

It's the principle the pockets fat not flat

Some borrow dough and relax on paying that back

Common cat

Don't you take me for weak give an inch they take feet

Give em feet they take the street

My city's called everybody eats

The operations don't skip a beat

Don't you take my squad as chumps punks or fakes

Quick to dump pop trunks on snakes

That's of course push came to shove

Otherwise love is love so

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take

Ladies and gentlemen

We have a special guest tonight in the house

Ta lib kweli

You'll never fit up in my shoes so don't try em on

I always tear it up I'm about as calm as a quiet storm

Legendary lyricist nice guy persona

My songs celebrate life and you can play em for your momma

But don't make the mistake of trying to play me

Unless you a DJ don't get it twisted I'm still from b k

Wanna front better keep it in your mouth like flavor flaw

Where I'm from even a chick spit razor blades

Don't you take me for a sucker or I'll take you back to school

Fool can't play the wise but the wise can act a fool

I stay cool and mild mannered and just put in my work

Don't push you don't know what's up under my shirt

Don't you take me for soft I got a heart that pump

Like a twelve gauge shotty when it start to dump

Youse a mystery cause you don't know who you running towards

And got history that sh*t is told by those who won the war

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take

Don't you take

Don't you take

Don't you take

Don't you take

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take my kindness for weakness

Don't you take
