More From Talib Kweli

It feels good, you know. it feels like you're out there, you know, doin' your own thing, know what i'm sayin'? it's like, people can't really compare it to anything, and that kinda feels good. it opens me up to a lot of different arenas, a lot of different type of situations, you know like tony hawk will call. you know what i'm sayin'? i can just image if my songs was about shootin' up, and like sellin' cocaine, i doubt tony hawk would be callin' you know?

There was some women in a café the other week that i was sat in, and she came up and she sat down with her mate and she was talkin' loudly goin' on about "oh the baby's lovely." they said it's got, er, lovely big eyes, er, really big hands and feet. now that doesn't sound like a nice baby to me. i felt like sayin' it sounds like a frog. but i thought i don't know her, there's only so much you can say to a stranger. i don't know what kept me from sayin' it.

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.

I don't necessarily do anything just for the money. i do it for the passion and i do it for the love, because i'm still hungry. so if i want to do music, it's not necessarily motivated because of monetary value. it's more about the passion and the love, and i think that's where music should come from, the heart, not necessarily just to cash a check.
Passion Heart Thinking
It's time for a new national anthem. america is divided into two definite divisions. the easy thing to cop out with is sayin' black and white. you can see a black person. but now to get down to the nitty-gritty, it's getting' to be old and young - not the age, but the way of thinking. old and new, actually... because there's so many even older people that took half their lives to reach a certain point that little kids understand now.

Sometimes you have to gag on fancy before you can appreciate plain, th' way i see it. for too many years, i ate fancy, i dressed fancy, i talked fancy. a while back, i decided to start talkin' th' way i was raised t' talk, and for th' first time in forty years, i can understand what i'm sayin'.
