My Favorite Song - Statik Selektah, Reks, Talib Kweli

Just like wash away, you know?

It’s a new day man

This the greatest city in the world

Ain’t nothing easy, people is greasy as Jerry curls

Man your favorite rapper not a leader, got coke but it’s not a litre

We eats the scraps like bottom feeders

Like crabs in a barrel

The road apparel get you into a battle

«Pow» then bullet go through your head like the rockstar fame

My life is like a rockstar game

The block got flames

You jump out of the pot into the fire

When we speakin' on a higher plane

Deeper than leviathan

And it’s sweeter than a violin

The music sweep you off your feet

While the system tries to keep you in the street

Even cops walk the beat, crooks face the music

Sound like the block is the perfect place to do it

Be up all night until the break of dawn

It’s like I’m born again when I hear my favorite song

So fresh

Same I ever been

So fresh

When I hear my favorite song

Some folks give 'em less than good

Whole life right there they never left the hood

This city got nothin' for 'em

Out of sight, out of mind so they just ignore 'em

They sit back and they twist it backwards

Nothing guaranteed except death and taxes

That’s why they get so high

Stand in one spot watch life go by

The hands on the clock go slower than the van on the block

Every plan is a scam or a plot

Every man got his hand in the pot but nobody got a pot to piss in

The preacher preaching, they don’t stop and listen

Hard living, cars driven at a high speed pace in a high speed chase

You can read between the lines in my face

I was up all night long listenin' to my favorite song
